I recently got this item for £19.99 and you get 3 micro HD720p cams, which works out at £6.66 each. Size is 50mm x 60mm x 25mm and I used them recently on my 62 mile off road ride to the Surrey hills. This is a very simple cam, no playback, no screen, no stills pics just an on/off switch and a record/stop switch and usb charge point with micro phone that actually works. No internal memory all footage is stored on a micro sd, the cam itself is protected by a silicone plyable outer cover that has openings to allow usb, sd card, micro phone and on/off record button access. Simply connect it to your pc with the usb and watch and save your ride easy peasy no hassle.
There is no software to tweak or play with except the time and date stamp, 1/2 hr charge and approx. 2hrs 10mins recording each. The files are large about an hour or more each. I am using mine as a rear mount option on the seat post, I'm securing the sprung loaded lapel clip to the S/P with a bit of double sided Velcro and then simply twist the cam on to said clip and then use the integrated bungee clips to secure it nicely. All in all takes about 5 or 6 secs to swap cams. For the money this has to be one of the best little gadgets for filming your rides and a great stocking filler, this cam sits where I placed it with no twisting or movement and recorded all of my journey using all 3 cams. I thrashed the bike through mud, up and down rough terrain etc,etc and the footage remained stable and clear no bouncing or juddery footage, like d8veh's best light find on ebay this has to be up there also for the ridiculous price and footage it produces.
