Sub $100 HD Action Cam

Aight, so I know this is pushing the limits of cheap, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any super cheap 1080 action cam (1080p 30-60FPS) that I could strap to my quad? I'm looking at the mobius and RunCam HD V2 because they're super small and are about $100, but I'm broke and I'd like to spend about $50, but I think I could eventually stretch up to about $100. Any recommendations, or am I just crazy?

If you can stretch to $115, you can get a GoPro HERO.

And if you're especially frugal, here's a GoPro knockoff-

SJ4000, I use this and its comparable to a Go Pro Hero for about half the price.  B&H ($45), and I believe ($55) with a butt load of extras.  

That looks interesting, but I can't find it for less than about $70 on B&H.
