Anyone have any experience with this action cam?

As far as video equipment is concerned, you get what you pay for. The reason a GoPro will cost you 5x more than this camera is that the GoPro's sensor is at least 5x better. I heard GoPro had some refurbished Hero 3's selling for about $119 this past weekend, that would probably be your best bet. If you want decent audio, invest in a little plug-n-play lavalier mic with a deadcat (wind sock) and mount it directly behind the camera, or inside the fuse.

Here's some links:

Haha, yeah I believe that GoPros are well worth their price tag. They really are amazing. I ended up getting the new version of this cam, the 7S. I don't need a $400 camera.

I'm pretty happy with this camera though, here's my best footage so far, audio is pretty good too, I had the case on in this though:
