GoPro Hero Wide Angle Motostports Camera NOW WITH VIDEO!

[cyrus buelton]

This thing kicks ass!!

It will shoot 56mins of video or take a picture (5mp) every 2 or 3 seconds. It currently can only hold a 2gb SD Card, but GoPro is about to release an upgrade to hold a 4gb card

It comes with a mounting case (100ft waterproof) and a junk load of adapters, along with a big ass suction cup mounting bracket.

Trust me, that suction cup will NOT come off. My buddy had one mounted on his Indy Car during a test a while back and it stayed on through 2 laps at Barber (it was safety wired just in case, but never was tested).

Here are a few pictures from my trip to St Pete this past weekend (big thanks to JC from the CDC for lending me his M900).

Where are the pics of the Mrs?

I don't think she would ride on the bike with me with that thing mounted on my helmet.

She makes fun of me enough for buying it.

Next time when she's riding with you, conveniently mount it backwards.

Can I see what it looks like mounted? Pics seem to be from on top of your head. I bet that looks goofy.

You can mount it anywhere you want on the tank.

Here is where I had it.

Note: white stripe on a tank will NOT accept the suction cup

I've been looking at one of these (mostly for the underwater possibilities)

have yet to pull the trigger though...


do they eat through batteries like I've heard?

P.S.


would you mind throwing some video up too?

I'd like to know what brand helmet cams were used by Ewin and Charlie for Long Way Round and Long Way Down. They looked very low profile on top of their helmets and didn't make them look like they had a third arm sticking out of thier head.

Great post though for a cool product!

The people from Sonic stepped up to the mark and provided a state of the art communications and filming system designed especially for Long Way Round.

With a camera on each bike and a camera on each helmet, riders had complete control over their own filming. The switching units on the handle bars allowed them to switch between cameras and the record unit that is mounted in the rear top box recorded the out put and the audio between the riders and also between the riders and the producers in the support vehicles.

That's not where you had it. I could see your visor in the pictures. I wanna see how goofy you looked with that thing on top of your head.

And the shadow of it in on the helmet in the first couple pics.
