I've got one - hardly use it - you can try/have it cheap - picture quality is good, sound is ok, night vision poor.

I've got a HD gopro, There is better but for the money they cost they're pretty damn good. Suction cap is surprisingly strong however I still tether mine when I place it outside.

Cheapest and bestest you can do for HD is teh GoPro Tino. $350 or so to get one, most other HD cameras are like 800+

The suction cups are strong enough for 200+kmhr

RAC have banned video footage because 2wd car clubs kept doing burnouts and putting it on youtube and they didn't like the image
