This nifty little camera I purchased before the Longest Day Challenge, unfortunately however it did not arrive in time.
It is full of features, including WiFi connectivity to download the videos to your smart phone (I personally prefer to plug into my laptop and download them individually). It is waterproof to 30m (using the included waterproof housing), but I have not ridden in rain or had the reason to use it in water as yet. Magnetic mounting and the pack includes a lanyard to mount the camera around your neck. Wide angle 120 degree lens (if I am honest, I cant tell the difference between the view on this or my GoPro hero3, but I am not a camera expert).
For a small and cheap device, the recorded quality is great.
You wont find it being used on a Netflix set, but for capturing a ride it is more than adequate and better than anything else I have found in the same price bracket.
It is no match to the latest GoPro, but then again, it is less than a third of the price of the cheapest new GoPro!
The camera its self is plastic, and if I am totally honest it feels like cheap plastic, the included mounts are pretty much the same quality.
But at this price bracket what really can be expected?
It is functional and so far has taken the abuse well.
The camera comes with a multitude of different mounts (including stick on ones and handlebar), however I had an UltimateAddons camera mount already fitted on the bike.
Image stabilisation is basic especially in lower light situations, but bearing in mind the Royal Enfield Interceptor is a shaky twin cylinder, I don’t think its that bad.
Low light videos again are no comparison to a GoPro, but for the price I am actually impressed.
One of the best features of this camera for me, is the size. Due to it being so small, you can attach it inside a helmet for real POV footage.
Overall:
- Honestly, for the price, I doubt you will find better.
- Some of the features you don’t find on cameras in this price bracket.
- At this price, you can buy a couple and have a front and rear (or in-helmet) camera.
- As a ‘dash cam’ you wont find better for a motorbike.
Features:
- Ultra-Small Size: The tiny action camera is extremely compact, about the size of your thumb and weighing only 36g.
- 1080P Hands-Free POV: Capture footage on the go and free up your hands to record POV videos, capturing exciting moments with your family, kids, pets, and friends.
- Mount Anywhere: This mini sports camera features a magnetic design, allowing it to be attached to iron metal surfaces. It also comes with a magnetic lanyard pad that enables quick mounting on your chest.
- Long Battery Life: The mini action cam is equipped with a rechargeable 800mAh lithium-ion battery. It can continuously record up to 150 minutes in 1080P mode.
- User-Friendly Design with One-Click Recording: Simplify your experience with an intuitive one-click recording feature that requires no learning curve.

Final thoughts:
I do feel like I have been a little unfair on this little camera by comparing it to a modern GoPro, however if I was to compare it to something of a similar value (for this case a GoPro Hero 3 – around £50.00 on eBay), then this little POV Pro is well above the quality of the GoPro Hero 3 for bike use.
The image stabilisation shows how well it works and the video quality is a lot better and with the WiFi connection to the free phone app, it makes downloading the images and videos easy.
Lets be honest, I have given it full scores, so it cant be bad, but the price is reflected in the scoring!

Nige uses the POV Pro. The tests were done on a 2025 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 using the UltimateAddons handlebar camera mount.
