I can't speak from experience here, but read some reviews about this camera before you buy it. They don't look very favorable.

Maybe not cheap but I love my GoPro camera. It makes awesome video.

well, don't forget that with the GoPro you have to have a pretty new computer to download and process the video too! How much does THAT cost??

Here is an RC guy telling all you could ever want to know about the Emerson, and he uploaded his video in 720 P so you could tell something about the camera....

It could have been the difference in the mounting position but the jello look on the Emerson kind of made me seasick.

Everyone always raved about my cell phone vids on my old HTC phone. I was thinking about making a mount for it.  Would be nice to just send them over wifi due to it already having android on it.

Much more difficult to mount though.
