The tubular design of the camera means that it fits into a vent on my cycling helmet, held securely in place using one of the supplied velcro straps and a bit of sticky back felt for padding. I haven't used any of the attachments but they look to be decent enough quality albeit a bit on the bulky side.I've also got a motorbike and my intention was to use the camera on both, but I've not found a secure and unobtrusive way of mounting it yet. The handlebar mount isn't suitable due to the faring and I'm not convinced the sticky pad alone is enough to secure it to my helmet, the helmet mount is the pad and two velcro straps that loop through the helmet vents.Picture wise, I've no complaint at all. I cannot comment on low light, but during the day it provides a clear and stable image, definitely good enough to capture registration plates etc. I use a 32gb micro SD card and my average ride of 80 minutes fills about a third of it. It stores the video in separate files on the card of about 3 minutes each, but I believe this can be changed. It is also date and time stamped.The instruction manual isn't brilliant, but there's not much to know anyway.Charging is via a supplied USB cable. A red light on the back indicates charge, but the blue power light also seems to come on when it's plugged in, I tried turning it off when it's charging, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

An action camera which is lightweight and comes with a couple of fixings for helmet or handle bar mounting. Time will tell if either is robust but so far, the helmet mount has worked fine. It's easy to attach and feels pretty solid. Camera set up is pretty simple. Time and date setting is a little odd with a text file in the camera on board memory, but otherwise it was easy to set. Picture quality can be a little varied. One ride footage suffered considerable over exposure with almost all white image making the film indiscernible and impossible to watch. Only happened once so will keep an eye out if it happens again. That said, general use has highlighted a little difficulty in getting the exposure balance absolutely right especially with the transition from bright light to darker shade. Overall though, image quality has been acceptable. Battery life is about 3 hours which is respectable. The absence of picture stability doesn't cause major issue, when considering models fitted with this feature are hugely more expensive so it's a trade off that's also acceptable. For the price it was worth it. Long term use still needs evaluating to see if performance remains adequate and no other issues manifest over time.

A nice clear picture but shame there’s no anti-vibration included. Still, I bought mine for motorcycle riding which, generally, gives a pretty smooth ride so I still get a good picture. From what I’ve read in the other reviews, pedal cyclists also give a good review of picture quality so perhaps the anti-vibration is not needed so badly. Very easy to use. Simply follow the instructions (although not plentiful, they do show exactly what to do), format the (now supplied) micro card on a computer, I used my iMac, change the date/time text file (yes, it’s that simple) to the current date/time, put the card back in the camera and you’re away.One thing I would point out is that, and this is common to all makers of this cylinder type camera not just Rilai, if you break the clamp that holds the camera, good luck finding someone who can supply a replacement. I did, but it took 2 days of searching the internet (try chilli-tech.com where I’ve bought my spares from). I’ve not taken any stars off this review for this ‘problem’ but potential buyers need to be aware before buying.Apart from this, I’m impressed with the results.

REVIEW UPDATEafter 6 months this now has become useless battery life is only lasting 30minutes at best.please don't waste your money on buying this rubbish.This works very well, reasonable picture quality, yet the sound is horrendous totally useless.Limited settingAfter a couple of months use, I'm finding the battery life has dropped from lasting 5 days of X2 10minute commute rides down to only 2 > 3 days. And expecting this to drop further over the next few months.For the price it's OK'ish but with poor battery life it's not really worth it.Maybe I'll try to replace with a better battery when the time comes

Cheapest workable one on market. Doesn't look nice on helmet. Good video quality but bad sound. Battery lasts about an hour

excellent camera for the money easy to use this camera runs oñ a loop so you doñt have to worry about runing out of memory i have used this for 1hour at a time and havent ran out of battarey it is robust droped a couple of times apart from a couple of scratches (to be expected) the camera is fine as for the féw negitive reviews saying that it oñly recards for 3mins to place the camera in coñstant record mode all you do is press the button near the lens for 3-4secondr to turn it oñ you will feel 3stroñg vibrations the blue light will come oñ then press the button at the back of the camera again for 3-4seconds you will feel 3 vibrations the red light will then come on it is now in constant reccord mode the customer service is the best i have used my issue was being within 30mins highly reccomended seller
