Blackbriar 8,569 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've been seeing these grow in popularity, and coming down in price. You can get them for 'not much money' now, but are they worth having ? How easy are they to use ? Any features worth looking out for ? I'm thinking of getting one but, being a bit of a Luddite (look it up), I'm a bit wary of gadgets. I don't even have a SatNav, but I can see that these little things could be useful........ Any users ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 20,181 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I got a cheap one from China of eBay a couple of years ago it took a month to arrive and worked for a hour!...what little I did record was good quality I could definitely see one coming in handy to capture the unexpected....look at Russian dash cam videos on YouTube some very funny ones and some very awful ones.

neil cooney 10,415 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 JMHO but it's becoming a joke with every aspect of our lives filmed by gadget geeks. I would say there's people living in towns etc. who don't realise it but every moment of their lives is on film somewhere or the other. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
