The Kitvision Splash action camera is on ebay's daily deal page for an amazing price of £29.99! The camera can record video in full HD 1080p, take photographs in 8 megapixels and has a built in LCD for previewing videos and playback, not only this but the camera comes with a 15m waterproof case and a tonne of accessories already in the box making it perfect for any activity and means you don;t have to worry about paying an arm and a leg for them separately!
I bought one of these for full price at £69.99 and I think it's a great little camera, perfect for anyone looking at buying one or looking at GoPro's!

Remember to put the product into context with the price, this isn't a £400 GoPro - it's a £30 action camera that uses different video components to make it affordable to the majority of us who can't buy GoPro, yes you sacrifice 5 frames per second on the video but that isn't a biggie to me or the rest of the audience who will be buying this.
Mounts: the accessories provided are a lot better quality than those found with dodgy cameras on Amazon, if anything breaks in the first year then send it back under warranty - i contacted their support department for a spare part and they sent one for free, once again not a £400 camera so i'm grateful i received anything more than a camera when i bought it.
Helmet mounted - depends on your bike trail and how rough the ground was, also the stability of said persons head. Action cameras are much better mounted from the chest when riding. I noticed the camera performs alot better using 60hz instead of 50hz which i think you need to change yourself in settings.
Leaky case: this is obviously a faulty case, if under 1 year warranty you should definitely request a replacement which they should send you for free.

"Fake" or not doesn't really matter when you're comparing equals, it's not like you're getting warranty and support in either case, it breaks? Buy a new one.
Output is king and the quality in either case is almost identical (white balance cool/warm can be adjusted).
Nobody buying either the Kitvision or SJ4000 is going Pro Heliskiing or donning a wingsuit. And if you're larking around on holiday or wearing it on your commute, it's pefectly suited.
I use an AS30V Sony (IS) on my helmet, and I have a £15 SJ4000 rearward facing in my seat post.
I'll go more in depth.
The mounts are of poor quality.
The video is not that great, especially when helmet mounted as it's too jerky
Oh and the case leaked when it rained.
Better?

These cameras are great, I already have one from last year but I'm going to get another for my daughter for the summer holiday! We took one to the waterpark and had great fun.

i bought this camera on an Easy Jet flight (paid £50) and it's amazing for the money. Videos are HD quality and photos are good too! Ive bought a couple on this deal for presents!
