I use 7 day shop for camera equipment, always been very good and the kit is of good quality 
For £25 I might have to get one of these, the video quality is amazing for such a cheap device their sdhc cards are stupidly cheap too
7 day shop no longer seem to do them (or they are just out of stock), however an identical looking unit goes for £15 on ebay.

Might be worth a punt....

£15 i'm rather tempted myself haha! What do others make of it at a glance? Be good to get a couple of other opinions before i go flying in and buy
I did buy one in the end about a month ago off amazon and have been impressed with it the only issue Is it has issues with some colours mainly green in trees and grass, tend to come out a pink/coral colour other than that for what I paid which was £24 I can't fault it
Might invest!
Does anyone know what clips/mounts they come with?
I did cable tie a Kodak Zi6 to my front grill and take it for a spin a few months back, video came out really well! and that was 720p 30fps.
I wonder if there is any way of making these turn on remotely? so it could be placed on the grill and turned on mid journey without having to pull over? Might buy a couple and give it a go *gets the soldering iron out*
Can they be used whilst plugged in to a power source?

For £15 you can't go wrong. The same as one of mine which I paid £25 for

Window Sucker and a normal camera screw bit

Come again

Just purchased this one as its from a uk business. So i'm (A) supporting our economy, and (B) got some reassurance should something go wrong and i don't have to track down and contact malaysian/thai/singapore/china/japanese companies ect.
Will upload a video to here once i get it, and have used it...and have worked out how to use it

Probably Find its drop shipped from hongkong.
yep i fell for that one a company that claimed to be from the UK selling things on Amazon as SomethingUK (cant remember the company name now) anyway what I ordered (a small camera) took a month to arrive which was shipped from hongkong and after a month of waiting the thing didn't work, fortunately i got a refund without having to return but now can't be bothered to re-buy the item as lost trust in these sellers
I bought Veho VCC-003 Muvi Micro DV Camcorder: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics from amazon yesterday after reading hundreds of horror stories about the Chinese POS. (Microusb not working,odd colours, never arriving, no customer support) The video resolution isnt as good, but its smaller and lighter so is gonna work well for what I need it for (Grill mount and mounting to RC plane for aerial shots)
Also bought the featured 8gb SDHC
Will post video results on my Youtube channel (ysidfa)

Got the exact same one, rebranded from Maplin, use it on my helmet when cycling, but doesn't auto record, so you'll have to interact with it on every journey
Although good for the bumper vids that you want.
This is the video quality
How are they powered? Is it battery or from the lighter? If so, do you have to re route the power leads and where?
Just spoke to the Mrs and she thinks its a good idea.
