So.
I need an action camera, for car stuff and also the kids to mess about with..
Don't particularly want to spend ~£400 on the latest GoPro/Sony but equally are the £60 ones any use? _________________ Motorsport Exige Project Thread |

I use the GoPro Hero Session (£150 but might be cheaper now)
No screen, single button record, about an hour battery life. Works well on the Caterham. 100% reliable so far. _________________ R600 Dubaru

Always found Replay XD cameras very good _________________ Never trust a man that when left in a room on his own with a tea cosy, doesnt try it on. |

Ok so when lapping the internet I stumbled across this video, ideally viewed in the Youtube App.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAbtcuJkPvw&feature=youtu.be
It was filmed on one of these Garmin VIRB 360
Reading up on the reviews seems there are similar development issues that seem to blight the Garmin camera's but as an overall solution, albeit expensive this looks perfect for motorsport.
I presume a go pro suction pad mounting would work, near the front of the roof scoop on my car presumably, but do they work at 140mph  _________________ Motorsport Exige Project Thread |

Yeah so I understand, would be able to sort an external bracket of some sort.
Did you watch that video in the pink, the 360 stuff is cool! _________________ Motorsport Exige Project Thread |
