[CVRick 45]

I am looking at possibly buying a go pro camera . Does anyone use one or know anything about them. ?

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.

Go pro is fricken awesome, and it's held up in every crash I've been through.

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:

Most of you remember this from this past December:

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?

Where is the best place to mount the go pro on your helmet ?

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.
