I got the GoPro HD for christmas and have used it about 5 times. I love this thing, I recorded some mountain biking we did in Sedona, and chasing some buddies up the Kernan. Both videos are amazing in their clarity and sound.

I recently got the gopro wide camera and have only used it a couple times. So far I am very happy with it. In my opinion, here are some of the +/-:

Good:

Price-compared to many helmet cams out there this was less $$.

Easy to use-press button and ride!

4gb SD card campatible

Runs on standard AAA sized batteries-Lithium rechargeable are a MUST. Factor that into the price.

Bad:

Burns batteries in video mode-opposed to snap picture every 2 sec mode.

No lcd monitor to see pics vids just taken.

Difficult to tell if if it actually on or not-blinking red light no always visible.

Just a couple observations of the gopro wide so far. If anyone has anything to add please do as this is still a bit new to me. Here is the vid I posted in the duffyland write up to give you an idea of how it looks:

I have the Go Pro Wide and like it but agree about it eating batteries. Get at least 3 sets of batteries and cards as you will only get an hour out of a set if shooting video.

Here is a video at an indoor kart track.

Here is a video of a dual sport ride.

You can download a firmware upgrade that allows you to use 4GB cards which is good for almost 2 hours. I did it and it is very easy to do. Go to the gopro website.

I agree about the batteries. The rechargeable Energizers they recommend suck, lasting less than an hour. The Energizer Lithium last about 3 hours with me. I got my gopro for 138 shipped, as posted by someone earlier in December about a deal going on in Texas at AFM something. I am happy with mine.

Thanks for the info.. I think I have done the firmware update but I will make sure. I will also try the Lithium batteries to see how they work as I have been using the rechargeable ones.

I got it for my birthday, back in July. It is a good camera. Only thing is, I've switched helmets and need some more of that 3M super duper tape to mount the mount! I'll go to their website and investigate further.

I got some of that super duper 3M stuff at Pep Boys a while back. Don't know if they still have it, but if there's one near you, it's probably worth a peeky-see.

Thanks, I'll check the parts houses first. I think I have most of the cool stuff in that grab bag of mounts that came with the camera. I don't know that I'll need or use all that stuff. I appreciate the offer of 20%, and if I need anything in the future for the camera or more mounts, can I still hit you up?

Check with me for anything but OEM parts, 20% is a starting point. If I can do better I will. I was able to go 25% on the HD camera.

The posted videos with the non HD version are pretty impressive. I gave away my last helmet cam when I never could get a good video out of it. I'm gonna have to get one of these just as soon as I sell my wife's quad.
