Takes good videos, but lacks big feature

"I decided to splurge with my recent REI dividend refund, which covered most of the cost of this. I enjoy being active outdoors and enjoy photography.

"I agree with the other review, but I bought an Eagle Creek fanny pack at REI for around $20. It fits it well and I can carry some of the other accessories I may need. It takes great video.

"I have only used this camera for two days, but so far it has been excellent for traffic stops, as the device appears rugged and the field of view is wide. The loop feature is particularly useful for capturing unexpected traffic events. The down side is a lack of a discrete head mounting system. I ne …"  Read Full Review »
