Want to spend around £50 on one.
Must be easy to use and mount, any recommendations?

The Mobius is around the £50 mark and I also have a G1WH which is more like £30. The Mobius is smaller, better built and performs slightly better. For the money, they're both very good cameras. The Mobius doesn't have a screen so it is very small and discreet. It comes with better support software and updates.
Depends on what you want from a camera as to which I'd recommend.
There are quite a few different sellers on eBay for the Mobius but this seller is the proper authorised seller.

I have a mobius paid £46 off bannggood.com (legit website like ebay) for it but you may have to buy the mount and charging cable you have the option to buy extras with it but I bought an 8gb SD card (ideal card is Kingston) and bout the windscreen mount and 3 meter charging lead from Hong Kong both came to about £8 lol
Quality on the mobius is fantastic too, it is purpose built and wide lens, in the sprinter van positioned just below where the interior mirror would be on playback I can see both A pillars! Night quality is pretty good too, I'll upload some videos if you want, may not have any daytime ones atm though.

These are pretty popular with the skoda forum. Great size and very discreet.
Dash cams wouldn't be suitable for me though

Link to where I got mobius one from http://eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-Mobius-New-Version-Wide-Angle-Lens-C2-1080P-HD-Mini-Action-Camera-wp-Uk-985644.html read the spec of this before making a choice! Really is worth the money!
Someone has even written a detailed user guide for it that you can download, not only does it film it 1080p it does 720p and takes photos.

Recently bought myself a transcend 200 off amazon. £59.00. Supposed to be a decent bit of kit, but it is quite big due to the screen on the back of it.

Which one did you buy? Personally I would advise against a cheap one as the batterys tend to be a bit naff, the Mobius I have is awesome!

This is mine fitted in a Corsa C. Had it 2 years now and just had to replace the battery(Lithium Polymer).
Its a Mini0801(new versions around now), there are complaints about reliability but mine has been fine. Video quality is great and unlike many cameras, its very discrete.

Mobius Lens C - 132Deg
Mobius Lens B - 116Deg
Mini0801 - 135Deg
I do like the size of the Mobius plus its easy on them to swap the potentially dangerous & unreliable(over time and at low temps)LiPo battery for a supercap. If this ever fails I will get a Mobius.

Fitted mine today. Bit of an arseache wiring it in neatly, but made a decent enough job of it for now. Just need to figure out how to remove the windscreen trim so I can tuck it all in behind that, rather than the sunvisor. It is a bit large, though isn't very noticeable outside. Will give it a try and see whether I like it.

Ive got a bullet one like Rob, hidden behind my mirror.
it saves in minute long videos no matter what loop time its set to.
only part you can see whilst driving is the power cable. its installed pretty neatly
