Vince it is a Contour HD. i spent lots of time researching and this is the best option. i have all the solid mounts for it but i find goggle mount to be the best. You can pass it around with your freinds and take video behind you.

This is a video of my buddy that lives in Moab...
i am the rider wearing it.

Make sure you choose the HD option on the youtube video...

Wheelin is amazing there. October is a great time to go. Warm (23-30) and less crowded than Springtime. They have parts readily available locally if you break. They also have a great shop to fix stuff.

What do i prefer?

I i could bring both bike and jeep, that would be utopia. i did bring my ktm 950 super enduro R this time and my Berg 450 and i definitely found a new fun thing to do in Moab...dualsporting.
i am due to bring a jeep or at the very least rent a rubicon on 33's for a couple days the next trip down.

Here is a photo album of when i had my stock rubi on 37's down there...

Is this the camera you have Tom?

I've also been looking at the GoPro 960 HERO

Vince, tht is the one.
i would take the Contour over Hero everyday. The Hero hard monts (as can the Contour) but the gggle strap mount is best. Hero's have many reports of being ripped off the mounts. Contour is smaller and better shaped. 8)
get a 16gb card and 2 extra batteries with only the goggle mount.
