GoPro HD Motorsports HERO

[TL-Iguana]

Has anyone used one of these? Im looking at buying one, but have not actually seen one up close, or heard of anyones actual experience using one! I want to get one primarily to mount on the bullbar, and to take out fishing with me, but are they really armored as well as they say? I would just like to get some actual user opinions on them before i put down the money

I may have a Contour HD 1080P with extra battery and waterproof case for sale if your interested.
Very comparable to the GoPro HERO.

Thanks Vinman, Ive seen those as well, but I do want to stick with the GoPro

I've heard good things about the cameras, but have no first hand experience. I will say that their suction cup mount is flat-out amazing. My dad and I used it as a cowl mount for a digital camcorder in Moab last year, and that thing was unreal. You could use it for pulling dents.

I had an HD GoPro and love it.  The cases it comes with are incredible.  I still have to mount it to the Jeep and go for a spin but just using it around town handheld even I've been really really impressed with the video quality you get from them.  For their size and application I don't think you can get any better.  I'll try to shoot a video from my Jeep with it this next week.

That would be sweet! If you do, let me know Id love to see something from it other than what GoPro wants you to see on their site

For sure.  I'm going to try to fix a mount for it tomorrow so there will be some daylight cruising videos to post by tomorrow night.

ive had my gopro widescreen for a couple years now. this is the origianl, not the hd. that being said, its pretty good. for the most part ive used it mountain biking attached to my helmet. ive hit trees, rocks and had plenty of dirt and water all over the unit. camera stays fine inside the case. the hd version is much better then mine. but like i said, the old version is still pretty good. mine doesnt have the best sound quality but i think they fixed that with the Hd versions. the mounting hardware is easy to use and works great. a lot of options to mount the camera. if you want a video or two pm me your email address.

Hahaha

I really want one!!! Im currently trying to get hooked up with them through work, but if that falls through I might be making a trip up to the kiosk in Cross Iron mills on my next day off to see if they will swing us deal on a group buy These things are awesome!! Will let you know what he says, but it will be worth my gas just to drive out there and play with one I figure Would be awesome to mount on the bull bar and go play Ive also seen some neat footage shot from under a jeep... Proabably not recommended, but still cool

Yeah the guy from WayALife who does ProjectJK etc did an under belly cam to show a new suspension setup once.  It looked amazing.
