Default GoPro Hero Helmet Cam Video

I got to try out this camera for the first time yesterday. It's not HD but it does a pretty good job. Wide field of vision, waterproof case, 58 mintues of video per 2GB SD card. Sound quality is very low because of the case that it's housed in. Video quality is pretty good. There is no video "preview" screen so you really don't know what you have until you load it on your computer. Helmet mount works great but at 70mph+ you can really feel the wind drag on your head even though it's a tiny camera (kind of surprised me).

I tried it on my handlebar mount and that worked great as well. I didn't seem to get any video buzz because of vibration. However it has such a wide angle that I wasn't happy with the way the video turned out from behind my windshield. If I use the handlebar mount in the future I'm gonna take my shield off when filming.

For only about $130.00 bucks I'm happy with it.
