The gopro hero is everything they say it is. Works great, super tough in the clear plastic case, I made a helmet mount out of the included "headlamp mount" and strip of heavy duty mounting tape. Wish I could use bigger than a 2 gb sd card, but o well. I didnt get the hd version, it was a little over my budget, but this one will work fine for me, I'm not one of those who has to have the latest and greatest. Highly recommended product!
The HD Motorsports HERO is the HD HERO model developed for motorcyclists, autosports enthusiasts, and other powersports athletes. This product incorporates not only the HD HERO camera itself, but also the mounting hardware you need to mount the camera securely to virtually any helmet, motorcycle, car, ATV, jet ski, snowmobile, boat, or virtually any other vehicle. Included are mounts for two helmets and three vehicles, as well as a suction cup for maximum versatility and convenience. The camera's quick-release mounting design makes it easy to re-position the camera around your vehicle for professional quality HD video from several angles.
This is A nice camera! don't get me wrong . but at the end hd high ress go pro hd2 is a thousand times better so you should spend the extra money if you have it, if you won't then it is fine ....my 5mpx android takes the same kind of pics , but not any water proving case or vehicle mounting cup or whatsoever, that's the advantage. Also remember : NO flash.
I like the fact that it is small and comes with accessories to mount it just about anywhere. What i do not like is how long it takes to download to computer depending on how long the recording is.
I bought this to be able to evaluate my tracking dog from my point of view, so I use the head strap and wear a hat while doing so. I really like the weight, I barely notice it. It's been wonderful in the field, altho I haven't tried it in rain, yet ! If you have a laptop handy, you can download for very quick review, otherwise it's also nice to get home and watch your track on either the TV or the computer. I did end up buying a program to burn it to a CD, but we used it at a friends and used an Adobe program and that worked also. I'm looking hard at the wrist strap so I could fasten it to my dog and watch him running agility from his point of view for fun too :) Seems to be sturdy, well made, and there are replacement parts if need be for the more extreme users. I'm very happy with it !
