The helmet cam market has exploded in recent times. Increasingly novel ways to capture your ride - is a case in point - mean companies are having to do more to stand out from the crowd.

So how does £299.99 cam stand up against the rest? We shot some footage on our local trails, and you can watch a snippet below (a full video will be available soon).

While capable of recording high-definition video, the GoBandit's 720p resolution (at 30 frames per second) isn't quite the 1,080p full HD of competitor cams like the and . It has a 135-degree wide angle lens and can shoot five megapixel still images, but lacks a viewfinder.

The advantage this 145g camera has over its similarly priced rivals is GPS connectivity (the has this but costs £70 more). This means you can add ride data such as speed, altitude and position to your videos, adding an extra dimension to your footage. Claimed battery life is also good, at three hours in HD mode.

Other features include a waterproof case and LCD screen (for battery and GPS status). Mounts are available for vented helmets, goggles and handlebars. The free might appeal to some, allowing you to upload, edit and share your videos on GoBandit's online community.
