This thing is the bomb. Using the tall mount on top of my helmet, you can just see my hands on the handlebars. It's as close to being there as it gets, the wide angle view looks goofy in a still, but is just how you see it when you are in motion. My wife (non-rider) saw the video the first time and was all excited. She's seen helmetcam video for a year from my Oregon Scientific helmetcam, but it's a 52º Field of view, compared to the 170º field of view from the GoPro. She says this one is amazing, and that she didn't 'get' what was exciting about riding MX from the other cam.
It's a quality unit, light enough you don't know it's there. New cases are about $40, so if you biff and shred it, easy fix. You will have to get 1000ma NiMh batteries, battery life is crap with regular duracells. I got by with a new set of batteries each day, but the NiMh give adequate life. The mount isn't direction sensitive, so you can stick the camera in backwards without any modifications if you like. Get the Motorsports version, it's got your helmet covered and has all kinds of cool other mounting options in the box. 8^)
To see what the vid looks like, go to the GoPro site and check out the example video from Loretta Lynn's Am. Nats. Excellent! |

A friend of mine had a GoPro Hero and I really liked the quality of the images produced from the tiny thing. So I ended up craving for one. I noticed GoPro released the Hero Wide version and after being amazed at the video quality from their testing along with user uploads, the choice was easy. The ease of use, picture quality, and built-in features was more than I expected. 5mp pictures and TV quality video is all I was really after, but also being able to mount this shock/water proof camera in various places was the icing on the cake. I love it, go buy one or five!
The only bad thing I noticed was that some of the plastic mounts it came with were a bit cheap and broke easily. But I still give it 5 outta 5 |
Works GREAT

| I will have to come back on and edit this so I can leave a video. The camera works great. And for all of you out there an 8GB card will work in this. |

This camera is awesome. I drive an open-cockpit car and I connected this to the roll bar with the optional roll bar kit and it took great images. I was surprised at how good the images were. The sound isn't bad, but the wind noise drowns out the engine sounds a bit. I have a 2 GB card in there and I can't wait until they get the 4gb to work.
Great product and great price, especially compared to what some of my friends use - like a cam corder bolted in with a lipstick cam.
The gopro doesn't have a million features and you don't need them - it does its main feature great, and that's recording video.

| Great camera, easy to use and is a blast to mount all over the place. I have taken this to the race track and had it on the outside of my car up over 100mph and it stayed. I have had it in the water down to 15 feet in the salt and it worked wonderful! I had it take a picture every 2 seconds and put them into movie maker for a time lapse video. This camera is worth the money, hands down if you want to film things like driving, biking, water activities or anything else that moves fast. It will also work on RC vehicles like cars, planes or boats. |
