Hey Guys,
Im posting this up here because i know you guys will like this.its sickness,i highly recommend this , anyone looking for a pov cam, this is the one to get.
Ill go through the list of things it comes with first.

:The suction cap (which is solid as a rock) they say it will not come off even on a race track

:Comes with a different assortment of mounts (3 flat mounts and 2 curved mounts) with 3m tape

So far ive only used it twice,once for a little night time blat and the other at 6:30 in the morning and i was impressed.The menu is strait forward and the instructions cover everything from setting the date and time to changing the exposer for incar use to night time use.The website says it can record upto 2.5 hours on one charge and has huge range of vidie quilty settings.
1080p = 1920x1080 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 15 Mbit/s data rate
960p = 1280x960 pixels (4:3), 30 fps, 12 Mbit/s data rate
720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 60 fps, 15 Mbit/s data rate
720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate
WVGA = 848x480 pixels (16:9), 60 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate
you get 4h 21m of recording time on the 1080p setting which is really good i think
So far ive only use it on the 1080p setting which does (not sure why) reduce the HUGE lense angle from 170º to 127º which is still plenty has you can see in the vid.
also another really good feture on this is its water proof upto 60mtrs
Heres a little example of it in use.(using the chest mount option)
