Great scenes anyway. Looked lovely.

Not too keen on Go pro's ... got my eye on a nice little bullet cam that attaches to you googles, Just got to save up for it now :(

Before you buy make sure you will be happy narrow angled lens.

I a rurally don't know why anyone who wants to film whilst skiing or other action sports wouldn't want a go pro

For me I will not stop using my hand held so the "Action Cam" will just be for an additional view of proceedings and edited accordly which is pretty much normal for my home videos .... my anti Go pro is mainly about where to plant the bloody thing, I am not gonna wear a lid, I am really not gonna wear the baby type cheast harness I have seen worn a lot this year, I would rather film from the side of my head or maybe arm.

I can see ur pov regarding the helmet mount Ian but there are many alternatives.
But pls make sure you will be happy with the bullet cams field of view, the go pro goes to 170 degrees where as some bullets max out at 90.
The newer go pros are a little smaller.

This is the one I'm looking at, I have not been into a shop to look at one yet, but it seems to tick all the boxes ....

Let me know what you think :thumbup:

Looks v similar to go pro in terms of spec and footage

You can still ware it on the side of your goggles which I quite like, There is a couple of youtube vids that compare and the quality seems OK.
