Surprised I haven't seen these mentioned? Or maybe I just haven't looked properly.

This is a 170g, tiny camera/camcorder that is mountable to many different mounts for different [usually outdoor] activities. It has a SD slot and shoots at up to 60fps in HD. It has options for time-lapse photos where it takes pics at 3/5/10sec (IIRC) intervals. It's so tiny one can even mount/glue it to an egg timer and do panning time-lapses!



*edit*

And it's water-proof!

I've had one for about a year - yeah, it's quality is amazing for what it is... especially love it's ability to shoot at 60fps. Shot numerous surfing / gliding and motorsport events with it - adds that "close up action" to our shoots where our ordinary camera's couldn't go.

I went cheap and got the Tachyon HD and am pretty happy with it. I use it when I go snowboarding as well as scuba diving, really great product half the price.

There's some sick videos here: http://www.actioncameras.co.za/gopro-hd-helmet-hero-wide.html

The Full HD GoPro goes for R3,500 but you can get the cheaper GoPro HD 960 for R2,500. Nice

Necro...

Bought the GoProHD2 surf edition on the weekend, such a sick little thing. Mounted it to my bodyboard using 2 leash plugs and the "mount" it comes on in the box.
Only had one session with it in about 1 ft mush... can't wait for some big barrels though.
