Just bought a copy from Amazon UK, so looks like you'll be sending another one out! Let's hope you don't run out before my order gets to you!

Hi there.

From 5-12 days normally. I'm busy at work and do this in my spare time I so wait until I have a batch of 10-20 then dispatch. I'm sending out all orders received from Sat night onward tomorrow. Hope this isn't too long for you

Hi!
great vid!
what's the camera that you bought
a sony action camera?

...wow- just saw the trailer for them. I have a couple of contours ( we spoke about them) & was just wondering if the helmet mounts etc are any better than contour?

£350ish?

The contour is great idea, especially the rotating lens thingy but the poor fittings let them down.

The Sony doesn't have the same lens flexibility but this is minor compared to the quality of image (stabilised) and fittings etc. Because it uses standard tripod screw thingy you can fit it to loads of accessories. I have the rubber ball thingies which can be fitted in various locations and clamp the standard camera to, much better solution. When I set off the contour was fine but after some use the fittings started to provide a rattle, so much so it ruined a lot of footage. I ended up carrying it in my hand, not the best solution but sort of worked.

I haven't lived with the Sony for long so will know much later. I particularly like the push on and immediate filming, what I don't like is, you can bump the switch and you are never sure if its recording or not if its on helmet. I've already got some footage of wrong things because I'd pushed off when I thought it already off or visa versa. Apart from that I think its a lot better. Oh the app thing for iphone works a lot better and you can use it to control the camera as well, so if you really want to, you can place phone in front and use that to switch on and off.
