Thanks for the reply.
I couldn't work out if the head tilts so you can lay stick vertical.

It has a standard tripod mount so you'll need the following...

Tripod mount
three way pivot which you probably already have.

I got the Sony Action Cam.

I used that Flymount. Look how secure it is (Sorry for crappy sped up vid)
For the price, I am going to buy that stick as it will come in handy :-)

ooo I like the gps overlay, that's very shiny! And also you're right, it does seem very stable. I was always concerned with those mounts of it falling off, but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere.
Whats the battery life like?
Can you change the batteries?
What's the depth rating for the housing?

The Camera is Sony as100v
Battery life, I'm not too sure. Think it is approx. 2.5 hours (I lost the original and using a knock off) so it approx. 2 hours.
Since I am using the knock off battery (Cost £6), you can see they can be swapped / changed

There are two water proof cases
The one that comes with it, (which is the one I am using) is 16.4ft.
The other case goes down to 197ft

I prefer it to the GoPro mainly because if it's shape.

GPS over lay comes part of the editing software
