I go down to 100m ish, going to Egypt middle of next month. Looking at Gopros but the 250 quid is outwith my budget, any ideas?
Was pointed to this one by my mate but I know nothing about it http://eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-Original-XiaoYi-Ambarella-A7LS-BSI-CMOS-WIFI-Sports-Action-Camera-wp-Uk-969228.html?p=FB0917407849201401SD

Techmoan is the source of info on this sort of kit - although mainly focused on dash cam use - but often refers to waterproofing - not sure about 100M though !

I wouldn't do 100m unless it was all my own kit. By the way that cam only has a rating of 40m. I don't think you are going to find anything decent that is rated for 100m cheaply.Science isn't exact, it's only confidence within limits.0 -
100m or 100ft?0
