Didn't notice that the base unit was selling for even cheaper on ebay. I totally understand Hoffmeister, no offence taken, but my product does offer value in the following ways:
A new idea. I've tested different products and come up with a combination (camera and bicycle strap) that works.
Reliability. There are many manufacturers offering many very similar looking products (all being copied from one another) but with vastly different qualities. It's the way the chinese gadget market works. I've found a supplier who has produced a product with the decent video quality shown above. It also works well. You might get a high quality camera, you might get a low quality camera, but it's going to be a bit of a gamble.
Integrity. When dealing directly with a far off country you have little idea of the reliability or integrity of your seller. With me, you'll know when your products will arrive and have the opportunity to collect, or try it out before buying.
Time savings. If you're not happy with the product or it doesn't work, you don't have to ship it back and wait another month to get the replacement. Everything that comes from me will be tested, and you'll get a replacement/refund instantly if you're not happy.
Ease of use. When bought direct from china, these things have very poorly written instructions as mentioned by oz. I will make sure to write clear, English, well written instructions detailing all aspects of the remixed product.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm trying to create a finished and convenient product with a lot more value than when they arrive raw and incomplete from China. I was trying to make peoples' lives a little easier by putting together a nice package at a good price (compared to the GoPro and other cameras out there), while making myself a little rent money in the meantime.
Price drop: £10; Remember, it also comes with the versatile handlebar/helmet strap and detailed instructions re-written by myself!
