Considering buying a GoPro Camera...

just looking for opions on them... ive never messed with one or anything. just watched videos from them...

thanks for any input...

I love mine. Except for the wind noise. Any of the GoPro videos from 2011 SAR on Mitch's, Zach's, or Justin's truck was all my camera. Don't use it all that often, but it's cool to have when the opportunity comes up.

like i said, i dont know alot about them, but is yours like an older model then the one you can buy off thier site? the hd hero?

There are better units out there but the GoPro is nice. I have a buddy that uses one in his glider plane and it takes some serious videos, I'll have to ask him what brand it is.

Been thinking about getting one with the NVG mount for my flight helmet.

there are 3 different models.. $179, $250, and $300 im not sure which one to get either lol

Last week I went to Six Flags @ Atlanta, Ga. Took some vids from most of the rides.

I'll post them soon.

I use three almost every weekend. All the $300 1080p hd ones. I've never used the cheaper ones so I don't know the difference. Wind noise can be tamed down by using the correct back. They're very durable too. We lost one that was hangin on the nova right as he went through the 1/8th at 150mph...It was still recording when the track official brought it to our pits. They also take awesome pictures if the need arrises

All the go pro video here is the 1080p version using 16gb class10 sd cards

Thanks. I'll check them out.
I was reading that you can sync two of them together for 3D. Well that's how it sounded from what I read. Have you done that before?

I have not, but yes that's how it works. You also purchase a new case that holds two cameras side by side

Alright.
I'll just be purchasing one for now.

This was a video Take with the GoPro HD Wrist Mount. Video is not that steady bcause I had to fight gravity to keep my arm in shot place !!!
