    1080P Full HD 12MP Gopro Style SJ4000 Action DV Camera FOR Sports CAR Bicycle | eBay

    And is there any way to find out the duplicates/fakes.

    There are lots of cams out there. Finding it so difficult to decide.

    that's almost 4k above the actual cost. for ebay you can also cancel paisa pay for counterfeit and raise claims.

    else other way you can order from DX dot com you'd get for around 5300-5400 bucks...

    Will order chest mount and that long rod thingy.
    the long rod is nothing but a monopod. you can pick up one for 500-600 bucks or even cheaper.
    for the Chest mount..... NO DONT BUY.

    you can use the same belts like in normal bag packs / small bag manufacturing shops have them for pretty cheap. nylon strap.
    google : DIY Chest mount. take your measurements after wearing jacket and make one at home of say 100-150 bucks

    this is just one example : DIY Camera Chest Harness/Mount (GoPro Inspired)

    you will need 3-4 plastic hooks/click locks like our school bags and 1 /1.5 inch wide nylon belt / webbing.. ask tailor to stitch it or you can do yourself don't waste 40 $

    edit : here more ::: http://imgur.com/gallery/jIjPQ

    I personally think that GoPro4 is still not for India. 4k requires good HD display for output, it will take much more space.
    Rather one should look for high fps in 720p/1080p to get the best output.

    Now I am looking for tank mount for the same.

    tank mounts work well for multi cylinder bikes and butter smooth roads. i would suggest you not to opt for the same.
    for single cylinder bikes the counter balancer will never nullify the complete vibrations also accounting to the potholes/patchy roads you will never get a good video/image and the wide angle view will be definitely hindered by handle bar /mirrors etc. the safest bet is helmet . if you dont like that angle. make a diy chest strap.
    just my opinion.

    yes SJ4000 does what basic go-pro does and video quality is really good.

    Now as Gopro HERO 2014 released with just $130 , it might be good buy.
    @prateek2210 the SJ5000 is a fake one, check RCgroups and techmoan review

    the basic one is damn basic and sj4000 does amazing work at that price point.
    also to note is go pro dosent come with accesories. so add another 50$ for the same.. still 2 x the price of sj4000

    Re: Dash/Helmet cam

    i have sj4000 and opted is over sj1000 for the wide angle lens of 140 over 90 on new sj1000.
    go pro is insanely mad and sj4000 does 95% of the work go pro does... for 1/3 of the price.
    i got the SJ4000 for 80$ odd from states. a friend hand carried it. DX.com also has it however news of Fake sj4000 i was skeptical to order the same.

    I guessed the same about the cam that your friend bought.
    I also found Garmin Virb Action cam. Has a dedicated website for the same. Specs seems to be good.

    Is there a separate thread for helmet cams? I don't want to continue discussing an unrelated topic here.

    Do check dx.com and Aliexpress before your order. they have SJ5000 (Wi fi Version of SJ4000)
