Anyone had any experience with these? I am tempted to purchase this set up for my helmet because of the price alone. This would be my first video equipment for skydiving. It seems to be a decent first timer set up. I mean, I just started skydiving not too long ago, I'm progressing well, and figure I'll be into videography eventually. I know guys that have used them on their sportbiike helmets on the street and track. Mixed reviews there. A lot of feedback saying they have been good so far, one negative that I remember hearing is that it would keep turning off after a few minutes (this was on a helmet at MX track). Possibly from the bumps and jolts.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can share some wisdom with me about this sport cam.

Search function is your friend. Been discussed a bunch already.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

SEARCH is your buddy...
There should be a lengthy review posted here on DZ.com sometime soon

Thanks guys...I did actually search it first but must have done something wrong because I did not get any results.
I'll give it another go...maybe when I can actually think about what I'm doing and not frantically surf and search (at work)

I'd recommend you get a few more jumps under your belt before putting on a camera.
here is a good thread to read, from someone with twice the number of jumps you have, about his first couple of camera jumps. He also, was using a sport-type camera.
Be safe out there!
