I decided to purchase ones of these today £19.99 so thought it was worth a punt bearing in mind the one I nearly purchased the other month was £30.
Not a bad looking package and to be honest it looks the same as many of the other brands out there.
Taking everything out of the box you get you normal bag of bits including zip ties rubber band small foam pad magnet for spoke and pedal and a battery. Also Inc is a tiny Christmas cracker screwdriver.
Fitting is pretty easy just needing to make sure the speed sensor is lined up with the magnet and the same for the crank which is easier as it has a larger surface area.
There is an app you can download which is pretty basic made by brivit I think. I tried it just to make sure the sensors work and they did.
Now was the real test to see if strava was happy to read the sensor. Opened up strava went to record a ride and clicked the little triangle image on the right. Did a scan and picked it up straight away.
During the ride as the phone was in the saddle bag I had no idea if it was recordng but on the first pit stop I checked and I had an avg 60rpm so it was working fine.
All in all for £20 it does what I wanted I have a bodged phone bracket I am working on using bits and brackets from a go pro kit a phone case and a tripod gopro mount will get a picture once it's all fitted.

Apparently you have to take care not to get too strong a magnet otherwise this cadence one can interfere with the reading from the speed one.
