      Doesn't matter, I'm not planning in removing this.
      Plus, the mseal is just a platform, the mount is still pasted with the 3m Tape.
      So I can replace the mount if I want.

        You have stick mseal as a base right? It's your call but it will effect paint & when you will take off cam it will not look good, i think 3M tapes are sufficient to hold.

          Just found a very good alternative to SJCAM in budget action cameras.
          Gitup Git2
          It's also a Chinese brand but comes with an external microphone and a remote control.
          The picture quality is rated better than Sjcam in all online reviews. It has gyro image stabilization which works very well. Records videos upto 2k resolution.
          It has same dimensions as GoPro, so 99% of accessories fit this camera too.

              I find this one suiting my needs perfectly, I needed the external mic to record audio plus remote control and 2 batteries sweeten the deal.
              I was getting a Hero 4 silver for 9k but missed out in the deal, so I think I'll settle for this one ☺

                    Try getting it soon, elections approaching and you will have tough time.

                    If the tracking is showing in customs, did you call them?. If not picked, just go straight and get it on hand
                    Customs guys are worst.. Due to my work during week days, I couldn't visit them.. So I cancelled the order, got a refund from eBay and purchased the SJCam X1000 from amazon.in.. For 7800 INR :banghead:

                        My answer: Mseal [emoji14]
                        What's the max speed it can withstand? Is it sturdy? Never used mseal on anything before

                          m-seal is like a cement compound.
                          It can withstand any speed.

                            I haven't purchased the camera yet, but the company claims a battery life of upto 90 minutes in full HD.
                            The battery is 950 mAh.

                                Yes, I got the same (32 in one) but for 110$ ; got it from my friend in us. Just go for it, but I Don't have experience with aliexpress anyway....

                                As for as camera is concerned, excellent but battery life is kind of short otherwise nothing different than gopro.

                                Hope it includes water proof mount. Some mounts are of not useful, but good to have. I like the chest mount as it gives kind of disguised appearance.
