I have the same one. SJCAM SJ4000 with wifi.
Works very nice for the money.

Can't see myself paying 3 to 4 times the amount (!) for a hyped GoPro with similar features.
The SJcam comes with a bunch of mounts and accessoires included.

I would advice in getting at least a Wifi-equipped camera.
There will most likely come a time when you like to shoot some suspension action under the car. It would be great if you can just mount the cam before a run, turn it 'on', but not filming yet, in the pits, then roll out to the stage-area and only then let the cam start filming with help of your or a helpers phone.

I was just taking your advice when you said to "run it up to 5 grand and point to the sky on the launch.."

I didnt know you meant the car and not the camera..
