Veho - make cheap action camera's, with good image quality.
Veho VCC-006-K2s - £66


Moving up the scale. I prefer Drift Innovation cameras to GoPro's.

The current range starts at £124 + £24 for a waterproof case.

You are likely to find older models much cheaper. Like the Drift HD. Which is still a great camera.

I have a GoPro Hero 4 Silver for sale if you are interested. Comes with all the usual stuff and is in perfect order.

I upgraded recently to the 8 Black.

PM me if interested

I have an Olfi one.five. It's a great little action cam with customer support that is second to none.

Perfect choice and description of the gains.

We will never know of course, but it would be useful to see how much someones sailing style and boat trim changed when comparing " on camera" to off

I use an SJ Cam M10 and it's great. 
Came with waterproof case and, during my RS600 years, survived many many submarine trips  LOL
It's a good few years old, has taken a battering and continues to work with no issue whatsoever.

I don't think it's made anymore but I'd recommend SJ Cams in a heartbeat.

I have the Coolicam £54.00 ish which works fine but has no sound when recording (luckily as I talk to myself at times when sailing)  fairly idiot proof although a certain Phantom/k1/ Osprey sailor managed to mostly film his rib drivers backside when doing a bit of coaching. This caused much hilarity when shown later to all us hoping for feedback on our lack of style.
