Default Anyone using GoPro camera?

I saw them plastered all over one of the mustangs at RA, checked out the website and they look pretty cool. Not bad for under $200 if the quality is what they say. Anyone using them?

i think im going to pick one up, "downey" on here has one. And i was really impressed with the quality of video and sound.

keep in mind that google compresses video a good bit too.

Alot of track guys i know in tx use them. Last weekend a friend went off at 110-100mph and went into a ditch. Gopro came off the front bumper mount but we found it and its still ok. Its at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y033Wdd8Fis

Yeah he was ok. who knows how it would have ended up if he didnt keep it straight. front end got a little smashed but it will be back soon. link to you tube so you can see some vid quality. Its not the best but for under 200 its good. http://www.youtube.com/user/SoulSpeedPerformance

I use a GoPro camera and video quality is great. Sound is so-so but it's very easy to use and very compact. The mount is terrific and it comes with a ton of other attachment mounts also. A 2Gb card is a must as a 1Gb just fills up too fast. I just wish you could use an SD larger than 2 Gb. Although then you'd use up AAA batteries faster than you could fill the card.

All in all, a great buy and I'd definitely recommend it for motorsports!
