Check out the Veho Muvi lineup. Easily half the price of GoPro on Amazon.

I've heard good things about the Monoprice camera. $98 plus shipping.

Thanks for the info! Didn't see this thread when I ran a keyword search on the forum.

I ended up putting my helmet cam to the side after about a week and not going back to it-- the extra weight was starting to mess with my neck.  Yours for $20.....

Yeah, the search function kinda sucks. I hear it will be vastly improved with the upcoming redesign.

For $20 I could put it on my car and record thrilling trips to get breakfast on Saturday mornings.  With a bonus trip to the supermarket.

I have the Contour, but it is as pricey as others.

Hey h', I tried 'friending' you as that's the only way to send you a private message. Would like to discuss your camera.!

The Contour company went under, and you can no longer buy their cameras. I think Amazon still has some in stock, though.

Santa gave me a Hero 3+ Black early for Christmas. It was supplemented by $100 off from Interbike, so he was happy to do so. To show my appreciation, I sent him a video of me falling down. 

Monitoring rides is a small set of why I got this camera, so you might be best off with other recommendations here. I will say that the GoPro has some cool features built in that are very easy to use. You can set it to record loops and erase anything above the 5 or 10 minutes you set it to. This would be a good feature for monitoring rides. So far all of the mounts have been sturdy and give me plenty of options for angles.
