Hopefully mine is arriving tomorrow... got the GoPro HD Motorsports version. Been looking at videos shot with them, some are really cool. If you own one, post some vids you've made, or just ones that are badass.

Here's a sweet basejumping one... some really cool angles

I have the standard model too.
I managed to get a decent video ONCE.
I have to download the instructions again from their site since mine have vanished.

I have one. The thing takes a beating. Be sure to use good quality batteries if using it outdoors in the cold. Standard Alkaline's will die in 5 minutes.

Lots of guys have them on their bikes.

Troll I got one at the PRI show this year. They had a great show special for them. I used mine up snowmobiling and mounted it to my helmet. I took the video at the lowest quality b/c I only had a 4 gig memory card. Even at the lowest quality setting the picture looked amazing. It was so clear you could see the snowflakes as I was flying down the trails at over 80 mph. I did have some wierd issues with it not turning on or off and not taking video. I contacted go pro and they said it was b/c of the memory card I was using it was not a recommened card. I got a new card but have yet to use it.

The battery lasts a few hours before it needs a recharge and this was in -10 deg weather so I am sure it will perform even better at normal temps.

I would post the vids but I don't have video editing software or even know how to edit them to make them small enough to host somewhere.

That basejumping video was awesome. Wing suits FTW.
Something I might invest in down the line for AutoX and even other little bits and pieces. Definately can't beat it for the price.

i never realized the hd version took THAT good of a picture. great quality. i need one.

DPancoast · 03-04-2010, 02:04 AM

I know Zillion uses a GoPro but it might not be HD... Justinlansdale also had a similar cam..

I would love to get one for the spirited drives

SovXietday · 03-04-2010, 08:13 PM

I want one really bad, but I have other things to buy first.

**TROLL** · 03-04-2010, 08:28 PM

I got mine for what I thought was a pretty sweet price, and then I found it for even cheaper. If anyone is kind of in the balance on price, I found it for $225 shipped from a place that has good reviews from what I've read, or I bought mine for a total of $240 after cashback from a very very helpful and good seller on eBay who I would definitely recommend.
I got it today, played with it a little bit but nothing really to shoot yet. Looking forward to putting it to use for real though.
