Oregon Scientific ATC3K plus 4GB card

If you're into mountain biking, surfing or skydiving, this could provide hours of fun.

Strap it down with one of the included clips or Velcro bands as you perform death-defying feats and it will capture 640 x 480 footage to an SD card.

Taking it up to ten feet underwater won't bother it, and its rubber-coated body will withstand moderate shocks, too.

Unfortunately, the video is rather choppy under bumpy conditions, and the quality is poor even at the best of times.

Still, this camera lets you take footage in places you would never dare take a normal camcorder and, at less than £100, it's worth it for the fun you'll have reliving those experiences.
