Now back with Gopro netherlands getting fixed. I've got say I prefer the Nextbase camera for in-car stuff, for me it's easier to set up & ignore...whereas the Gopro needs fiddling with. Great for short bursts of action though
I've got the SJCam M10 which is the square version and I think it's great for the cost.
[QUOTE=jamesy12345;789319]My gopro is dead - our lass killed it by feeding it an SD that a dog had just chewed on. Now back with Gopro netherlands getting fixed[/quote] surprised they didn't just send you a new one, where did you buy it from?
I've got say I prefer the Nextbase camera for in-car stuff, for me it's easier to set up & ignore...whereas the Gopro needs fiddling with. Great for short bursts of action thoughi leave my GoPro's in 2.7k (or 4k for the Hero 4) & just press record

I like the GPS & g-sensor functions....and night time recording seems better than the Hero 3, so that is my not expert comparison anyway The Nextbase I got after a Which magazine review, which put the Hero 3 in 2nd place after the 402G http://www.which.co.uk/reviews/dash-cams/article/best-dash-cams-of-2015

i've seen people use them to stick onto plane wings, but its alot of money to throw away if it does come off. I've got a triple suction mount, but still not tried it lol
Sun advisor? LOL

looks like you could swing off those!!

If you tether a paracord from the rear of the car to the mount then you'll have your safety net, should the suction mount fail. 3mm cord has a breaking strain of about 180KG :biggrin:

Plus if it does come loose the idea of it swinging around & hitting the car doesn't appeal either
If sooner DA out a few minor scuffs than risk loosing a £300 camera!
i'll stick to my fixed mounts
