Astak Actionpro - an alternative to GoPro?

[KK1W]

I stumbled across this the other day, maybe on R/CGroups, don';t really remember. Available in the US on eBay for $128 w/free shipping. Anyone have any experience with an Astak?

Knowing my ability to crash just about anything it might make a good starter camera

The 7 day shop seems to have the latest model. Looks like the Astak CM7500. They don';t ship to us Yankees though 

The few sample vids I found look very good. I think I';ll keep searching for a US source for the 7500. Not that the 7200 wouldn';t do just fine I bet';, just hate to pay the same price for an older model.

Thanks for all the links guys'; good info
