My cousin sells this exact product (range from VGA to HD quality ones, some with GPS location record built-in)... but his minimum is 50sets/order I think.
I can figure out more details if there's enough interest.
Make sure we get this cleared by admins first... or down comes the banhammer
Not to sound like an asshole, but everyone always MENTIONS "group buys" rarely does anyone do anything about it. In my experience with doing one on RS, you have to trust the people who are even interested in the item you're doing. To do my mirror one was SO tedious its not even funny. Heads up to the guy who does end up setting one up.

Thankfully, we can quickly figure this out by searching the member's post.
It may sound unfair the new guys but it's a precaution that most should take when considering organizing a group buy.
All the group buys I've had on RS have been successful ones, however, it is mainly due to dealing with people that are regulars on this forum.
for the group buys i've organized on vcc, it's always involved a non-refundable deposit. this has been great to weed out the flakers at an early stage. everyone loves to jump on board when it seems like a great idea but tend to bail just before payment comes up.
I use the GoPro HD mounted on my dash but it stands out like a sore thumb. I'd prefer a smaller semi hidden one.
As Death2Theft states, they are horrible when it starts to get dark, and I'm not too impressed with the video it takes during the day.

4: it doesnt have screen to show what is recording so its a pita to aim correctly
although most of the flaws can be fixed, its just a pita to set it up and get it running properly, not to mention the car suction cup is HUGE
I'm guessing the ContourHD or ContourGPS has the same limitations then? Was looking into that a few months back.
Im running KCI communications black box. Smart Black Box | High Resolution Mobile Event Data Recorder
All in one Camera, GPS, 3-Axis Shock sensor.
It automatically deletes older data when you run out of memory card space.
I guess you could wire it to always on, but I only have my on when the car is on.
Heres what the unit looks like mounted.

We are doing a Group Buy on BCMazda3 from Autolismo. You have to register to see the group buys section though.
Mods, if this post is considered advertising please feel free to remove it with my apologies.
The model I am getting is about $110, has auto on/off feature, records in HD, has a 2.5 TFT flip-down screen, and has a viewing angle of 150 degrees IIRC.

I got the same one as RCubed except I got a 90 degree lens instead. The wider 170 degree lens can get more in a shot but the images looks too distorted for my liking. Here's a video I posted after I installed it in my car.
i just got one on ebay, the cheap $36 one which is non HD... wish i got the HD one cause it cant read out plate numbers..
how much is the HD one?

I think I paid almost $400 CDN after shipping, brokerage, and taxes. I also bought the "Fusebox Power Supply" so I can hardwire it to the car. I bought it from the same place RCubed got his. He posted the place a few post above but here it is again Smart Black Box
With that said, if it doesn't have rolling memory feature and no G meter it's strictly a hobbyists' camera....But for $40 it has wide enough angle and clean enough picture for me to not complain about it. The mount is just a suction cup mount located at where my GPS usually goes.
