SJ4000 1080p Waterproof Action Cam (GoPro Alt) - €58.94 Delivered [Aliexpress.com]

Right, banggood have said that they cannot guarantee delivery before 10th Oct (or at any time actually) as the camera was held up in processing. Weirdly, they shipped an extra battery I bought on it's own, and that should arrive early next week.

I'm just going to either sell the camera when it arrives or send it back to them.

In the meantime, does anyone know where I can get a genuine SJ4000 (no wifi) delivered before next Friday?

I considered buying one from an Irish seller but they're looking for €150+ and I just can't justify that. (The extra €50 odd will come in handly for beers on Copacabana beach )

Any help appreciated!

Incidentally I've now got two cameras on the bike... one at front and one at back.

Have had success prosecuting dangerous driving with my front camera (put video on DVD and gave to Gardai who followed it up) so decided to get one for the rear as too many close calls.

Interesting. Have mine on the rear, and another on my helmet (Contour Roam2 on the helmet, and SJ4000 on the rear). Captures great footage, it'll be interesting to see what the footage will be like now coming into the darker evenings.

To be honest I might stick my front one on my helmet. Initially I didn't want to appear as one of "those cyclists", but I reckon it factors as a deterrent to some extent and probably encourages other road users to be on their best behaviour :pac:

That's a better deal yeah, and certainly looks legit.

Bullet bitten.

EDIT: Strangely enough came through as €71.75 on paypal for me. Sure what's an extra quid or two when you get an AV cable and a spare battery thrown in?

Finally got a chance to piece this together... discovered there are 3 batteries, one in the camera and 2 spare in the box, did you get this as well or lucky mistake by Foxoffer?

I'll demand my money back for receiving something not as described.

I ordered one from the same link detailed here on September 15th. It was dispatched on September 22nd by Netherlands post and they said it could take up to 10 business days.

It still hasn't arrived.

I sent a mail to cservice@banggood.com yesterday with no reply as of yet.

Is there anything else I should be doing?

They probably won't reply via email. They will come back to you sharpish via their forum or on their Facebook page.

They will ask you to give it the full 24/5 working days for delivery, thereafter they seem happy enough to issue refund.

Amazon.co.uk should sort you out.

It's branded Qumox, but the reviews say it's compatible with GoPro accessories etc so you should be grand.

Word of warning: don't go flashing the camera around Rio unless you want to be swarmed by muggers. And don't go walking under overpass bridges... the kids swarm down from the favellas and wait for you on the other side... grrr

Received this item yesterday from Amazon - cheers. Paid the guts of £100 for the camera and superspeed delivery, but I think it'll be worth it. Went through all the settings etc and am very happy with it.

Already have a buyer for the banggood camera when it (eventually) lands, so I'm not too bad.

On a side note, anyone know of a B&M shop which has decent priced vlog poles? I had one in the order from banggood which was about €10. If any more than that I might just tie the camera to a sweeping brush

Wondering if I can get shorter screws for the handle-bar attachment? I've got it on my seat post and as the seat is positioned far back for comfort my legs are hitting the screws.

These would be fairly easy to source I imagine?

EDIT: hmmm maybe this has the right idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWlI1Gbp9FU

Looks pretty good A good bit cheaper than a gopro but would it be as strong?

Strong in what way?

You mean dropping it? It does seem fairly lightweight.

Out of the case I'd say it would break apart fairly easily. In the case it seems fine and can withstand a bike fall!

Ye I mean like dropping it and do you know the depth it can go under water?

Drop it in the case it should be fine, outside case not sure and I'm not gonna try it!

Thats pretty deep actually, I'll check it out Thanks
