ActiveOn CX Camera
Just purchased the ActiveOn CX camera from my local Sears store for just $119. It compares well to the GoPro Hero4, since the ActiveOn has a rear LCD screen, a sharper lens and its $10 cheaper. Bought a handlebar mount and I'll be using it on my Cannondale Quick Speed 1 for the first time tomorrow. Has anyone else bought this camera?

I got the Activeon CX Gold last year on a Black Friday deal for $99. Pretty cool little unit for the price. I use it primarily with the chest mount that came in a $20 accessory kit on Amazon. I didn't ride as much this Summer due to work, but have noticed the last couple times I used it that the video sometimes gets choppy/slow-mo at times, particularly when I'm going faster, down hill with turns and the camera is pointed downward more (when I'm off the seat). I didn't seem to have the problems early on, but was using it on the trails over the Winter with a lot of white background (snow).
Have you found good settings to use for mountain biking? We have mainly tight-twisty-wooded trails here in MN (vs open/sunny). I was going to start working my way though testing the various settings, but thought I'd see if anyone else had already figured it out.
Thanks,
