Omega Owners Forum - Bought a cheap Micro cam

Dan282 Omega Knight Offline Bang Tidy! Posts: 1843 Dudley, West Midlands Gender: Drives: 2000 (X) V6 GLS in graphite grey	Bought a cheap Micro cam 03. Apr 2011 at 15:02 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sports-Video-Camera-Digital-Recorder/dp/B003URUXVQ/ref=... Couldnt believe the price and thought it must be rubbish but its not bad quality at all. The 'Muvi' Micro Cam is £45. Attached it to the dash for a quick 2 min drive. For the money its really not bad...

Hmmm, you could have got the same thing from e-gay for a tenner Dan, albeit with a plastic body instead of alloy? They are reasonably good but the one I bought went pete tong after a couple of months, the battery got incredibly hot & swelled up to 3 times it's normal size before melting its way out of the casing. Glad it wasn't in my pocket at the time! Shocked

Problem found I was its shape, it was a bit awkward to mount. Mind you I was trying to put it on my motorbike helmet!

I take it you've been circumvented Mark, otherwise it would block the lens? Grin
