SP Gadgets 52040 Final Thoughts

"Ordered spur of the moment."

Pull the trigger and you'll be good with this purchase. I was skeptical at best, but decided to go ahead. But the misrepresentation of the angle will cost a star. Feels very fragile, cheap and lightweight. On the motorcycle helmet, forget that 3M sticky tape.

I was worried that it could be difficult to frame the shots. The quality and features were more than I expected. This is such a versatile and fun camera to use. The number of mounts included is simply ridiculous! Overall, I think this a great SP Gadgets Action Camera.
