Damn cheap for what you get,i`m going to order one even though it`s obviously not as good quality as a go pro but for £45 compared to £250 it`s a bargain.

Nice camera indeed. If it gets broken in a crash it hurts a lot less with such a price.
The one I ordered (iMars H9) was slightly cheaper, 39 euro at BangGood. (link)
But because I ordered it outside EU, I have to pay 21% tax extra, so I end up paying about 9 euro more.

Yours and that one I ordered seem to have pretty much the same specs except you got yours cheaper (Grrr..) in fact looking around,all the cams at this range seem to have the same specs mostly.
Like you say,at this price range it doesn`t matter so much if they get broken or lost.

With the current exchange rate for Pound/Euro, you actually only paid about 2 Euro more.
45 GBP = 49.90919 EUR
My camera cost 39E at BangGood in China, but with added EU taxes I end paying almost 48Euro. And there is a small difference between the 2 cams, your camera does 4k@30fps vs mine that does only 4k@25fps. Which for me is not a problem, cause I will mostly be using 1080@60fps.

Without high quality lenses and sensors 4K is useless for filming at speed so yes like you say lower res and more fps is the way to go.

An expensive GoPro could do 4k, because it has a fast proc onboard. But the cheap cameras have much slower procs, which means they record with a lower bitrate and, very important, at high res they often can't keep up when filming at higher speeds. To keep up, the bitrate gets lowered automaticaly so much till the point the videoimage looks completely crap. This is why I bought a cam that could do 4k max, and not a cheaper one that does 1080p max. Plus the 4k ones have a newer faster proc then the older 1080p cams.
