The SJ cams on ebay are great, £30 ish for a 4k (alleged) definition, I have an Early hd version that I have had for 4 or so years, pop a fast card in and you get some great footage!

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Very OT but a link to the last time i used the camera in October, mine is the early HD action cam, or as referred to by most of us, The No Pro! is on a chest mount, end of a local loop down a countour line that is normally very overgrown from the coast path into the village in Portreath,
there should be other video's on my youtube thingy from the camera,
