I'll start with this. The video and picture quality isn't the greatest. Some newer cell phones will rival this in quality. However for the price of this camera I'm not overly worried about damaging the camera. I use both the suction cup mount and a helmet mount and have had no problems being exposed to 150+ mph at the race track. The cam lets you capture moments where you never thought possible. I've also found it to be a useful tool to refer back to and see exactly what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong. There will be some trial and error when you first get the camera to aim it and figure the controls out, but after a while you will have a better eye at aiming it. Pick up some lithium AAA batteries. Standard AAA last about 15 minutes where as I have over an hour of recording on a set of lithiums so far and haven't had the low battery indicator come on. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Go Pro Motorsports Hero Cam    This review is from: GoPro Motorsports HERO 3 Quick Release 3MP Camcorder (Electronics) Great product. Used for recording drag racing. Easy to use. Picks up driver view, shifts, tach and speedometer on dash to analyze performance. Come with a bunch of mounts for ll locations. Short battery life. Need to buy rechargable batteries (2 triple A's)if you are going to use it a lot. HD Hero is a WIN! This review is from: GoPro Motorsports HERO 3 Quick Release 3MP Camcorder (Electronics) I got the HD Hero Camera afew weeks back, I love the Side mount for the car worked great at hi speeds & on harable roads, we will be installing it in the Baja Race truck next, the sports car is great, my only problem is setting it up.. some times if you hit the button wrong when your driving you and it ends up with 2hrs of photo's kinda pissed me off it was a hell of a run i did too!! but now I have it set by my drivers door & i can turn it on & off much better.. Buy it !! Most Recent Customer Reviews Camera may be good, but the case and mount fail Probably a good camera, but the case breaks at the mount. And i am sure that it happened to more than mine, as i found a few at the race track with the same flaw. by Paul J. Farmer

GoPro HERO Wide Camera

Manufacturer : GoPro Camera Model : Wide HERO ASIN : B001KW14EI Price : 139.99$ See Special Offers Product Description High quality wide camera. Includes Camera Only! Most Helpful Customer Reviews 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Camera for Motorcycling? This review is from: GoPro HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) I have used this now a few times and experienced some kinks. One is the necessity to use Lithium batteries (expensive) otherwise it will not work for more than a few minutes. Two is the vibrating base of a bike, it is returning a decent picture but I guess without stabilizing software it would be hard to eliminate some fuzziness. The lack of a info light/screen on the back of the camera makes it a little hard to know when it is on and when not. I accidentally went into single frame / picture mode and lost a lot of good video opportunities not knowing it was not filming. Overall it is a good value for the money and I am happy I got it. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Met My Expectations    This review is from: GoPro HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) Picture quality is good. Use is not intuitive. Instructions are lacking in clarity and organzation. I discovered I can power it off its proprietary USB mini cable and a car lighter adapter purchased from another vendor online. The drawback is it must be removed it from protective clear box or else drill a hole in box. The USB cable is bundled with the RCA cables. A ferrite bead filter is molded in which dissallows seporation. Can not set time or date. GoPro promised firmware update for 4GB memory capability and has not delivered to date - April 09. Automatic memory overwrite feature would be a big plus. I saw it avertised for significantly less one week after I purchased it. Not thrilled, but not dissappointed either. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Good pics, BAD Battery drain    This review is from: GoPro HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) Good quality, love the wide angle. Biggest hassles are: 1) Battery drain. Even with brand new lithiums, only good for a couple of hrs of use at most. Less if you leave the battery in the camera (not sure why, but camera continues to drain battery even if off). My commute is 45 minutes, I have to recharge batteries after every use. Ridiculous. 2) Limited to 2gb SD. This is silly, as the camera is a memory hog. Note to Manufacturers out there: If I could find another wide angle camera that doesn't have these two limits, I'd throw this one in the trash and buy it.

Works with any ventedor non-vented helmet. Most Helpful Customer Reviews 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful: Rugged and great little wide angle video camera    This review is from: GoPro Helmet HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) I was looking for a small, wide-angle video camera to take some footage of a new "ropes-type" adventure course in the Oak Trees high above the Central Florida Zoo. I wanted to create a video of the course so that whoever watched it would FEEL like they were doing the course themselves. I looked around and it came down to two cameras, the GoPro or the Vholdr Contour. I chose the GoPro because of its: price, 170 degree lens, top mounted on helmet, and it's really waterproof. However, now that the ContourHD is out, I'd seriously consider getting it instead because of it's outstanding feature set. Here are some pros and cons I have from using the GoPro 5MP. Pros: Simple, rugged, aim through viewfinder, 170 degree lens (easy to aim!), several mounts included, mounts on top of helmet...not on side, takes AAA batteries (find them anywhere...and rechargeable NIMH's work great). With it's "take a picture every 2s" mode, it can serve as a cheap and portable security camera too. Cons: No view screen to see replays (but competition doesn't either), only takes 2GB memory cards (1 hour video), Mode icons are too small, no display of elapsed/remaining time, only "medium" video quality. The end result is the GoPro worked great as an entry level priced helmet camera...it did exactly what I expected and I wouldn't cry if I broke it during an "adventure". 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful: Great footage, when it actually works    This review is from: GoPro Helmet HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) I was so excited to get this and had high expectations. Problem was that this camera worked about 20% of the time. I thought it was the batteries and tried 4 different sets of Lithium and NiMH, but no luck. I thought maybe it was the cold weather on my ski trip, but I had the same problems when biking in 60 degree weather. I was let down. This may be a defective item, but it let me down nonetheless. Relaibility is important to me and this camera isn't reliable. I returned it. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: If you are an active outdoor type, you must have this camera This review is from: GoPro Helmet HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) Never before have I been able to bring home the activities that me and my friends get into in such a fun and engaging way. Kayaking, mountain biking, dirt bikes, and skeet and trap shooting are some of the activities that I've already taken this camera along on. You'll want to take the battery advice from the manufacturer, but the camera performs tremendously well. If I had one wish, it would be that there is some way to get more sound through the polycarbonate case that protects the camera.

GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide Camera

Manufacturer : GoPro Camera Model : Motorsports HERO WIDE ASIN : B001K3LUQ4 Price : 199.99$ See Special Offers Product Description MOTORSPORTS HERO WIDE Most Helpful Customer Reviews 22 of 24 people found the following review helpful: Great idea, average delivery    This review is from: GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) I was excited to see the video clips on the Gopro site. My use is on a Motorcycle. When I go the product, I found the display a bit disappointing. It is very small and you read it upside down as you might look at the camera with the 'Hero' logo in the lower right corner. The unit itself is somewhat simple in design and doesn't give you the feeling of the quality in even the most common digital camera's you would buy today. Two double AAA batteries go in the back with a cover that you slide off. This cover has a tendancy to slide off while general handling of the camera and is annoying. Do not, let me repeat, Do not use alkaline batteries in the camera-- they don't function properly. With fresh batteries my unit will only run for a short while and then shut off. It also has very erratic operation. Changing to the recommended Eveready NI-MH batteries solved the problem and although not cheap with the charger and all, they are necessary. The quality of video is ok, but does not work well in low light. This camera does not adjust well to varying light conditions and should generally be used in brighter conditions or full sun. The camera has no anti-shake capabilities so on a motorcycle things are jerky. Make sure you want the 170 deg wide angle as everything is noticably bent with the wide angle even in the focal portion of the picture. And, don't expect clear audio--you won't get it here. The audio quality is terrible. Even with the camera out of the protective waterproof case, there is a constant buzzing noise and the volume is faint even if you talk right in the microphone. In the case on a motorcycle, the sound is unuseable and unrealistic. For digital cameras these days, being limited to a 2gb card doesn't make sense. The entry level cameras will take 8gb at this point. In talking with GoPro tech support, they are working on a patch to allow 4gb cards, but it seems like a major task for them. All in all, I am disappointed in the quality and performance of their newest product. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: Motocross application This review is from: GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) This thing is the bomb. Using the tall mount on top of my helmet, you can just see my hands on the handlebars. It's as close to being there as it gets, the wide angle view looks goofy in a still, but is just how you see it when you are in motion. My wife (non-rider) saw the video the first time and was all excited. She's seen helmetcam video for a year from my Oregon Scientific helmetcam, but it's a 52� Field of view, compared to the 170� field of view from the GoPro. She says this one is amazing, and that she didn't 'get' what was exciting about riding MX from the other cam. It's a quality unit, light enough you don't know it's there. New cases are about $40, so if you biff and shred it, easy fix. You will have to get 1000ma NiMh batteries, battery life is crap with regular duracells. I got by with a new set of batteries each day, but the NiMh give adequate life. The mount isn't direction sensitive, so you can stick the camera in backwards without any modifications if you like. Get the Motorsports version, it's got your helmet covered and has all kinds of cool other mounting options in the box. 8^) To see what the vid looks like, go to the GoPro site and check out the example video from Loretta Lynn's Am. Nats. Excellent! 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Top 10 must have's!    This review is from: GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide Camera (Electronics) A friend of mine had a GoPro Hero and I really liked the quality of the images produced from the tiny thing. So I ended up craving for one. I noticed GoPro released the Hero Wide version and after being amazed at the video quality from their testing along with user uploads, the choice was easy. The ease of use, picture quality, and built-in features was more than I expected. 5mp pictures and TV quality video is all I was really after, but also being able to mount this shock/water proof camera in various places was the icing on the cake. I love it, go buy one or five! The only bad thing I noticed was that some of the plastic mounts it came with were a bit cheap and broke easily. But I still give it 5 outta 5 Most Recent Customer Reviews LOVE GoPro, great gift! Gave this to my BF for xmas...he loves it! GREAT video quality.

As I point out in the video, the build quality of this camera is great: the battery & media door clips shut solidly, and the rotating lens feels very firm, and doesn't budge after you set it where you want it. Also the clip that holds the camera into the various mounts works well, and is easy to remove when needed. The battery life is great as well, with two AA's lasting through several hours of video. With a 16 Gb card and just two AA's you can shoot nonstop for around 3.5 hours. The best point for me to make about this camera is the price. Any other wearable, mountable action camera would cost $300+ but for under $200 you can shoot some really fun videos, with almost no learning curve. If I had to be critical, I would point out that it doesn't shoot 720p. It does 480p (30fps) and with such a wide angle lens (170 degrees, of course) you aren't really filming the details of a scene anyway. Ultimately, it's a great value, requires almost no accessories, and is tons of fun. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful: Excellent Camera and Features but with Limitations of Low Resolution    This review is from: Drift X170 Action Camera (Electronics) Pros: 1. The camera is so light it almost feels like a piece of styrofoam. 2. The built-in LCD display allows playback anytime without a computer and helps line up shots properly. 3. Loads of mounting options let you securely attach the camera to a helmet, seat post, handlebars, or almost anywhere else. 4. Runs on inexpensive AA batteries rather than special battery packs that are expensive to replace. I get 4 hours of continuous recording from two AA Energizer Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries in warm weather. 5. Wireless remote control lets you start and stop shooting without fumbling for buttons when the camera is on top of your helmet. 6. I pedaled a bicycle for miles through a rainstorm with this camera on top of my helmet and it kept right on working. 7. The camera has a huge field of view (170 degrees wide) so it captures peripheral vision too. Cons: 1. The picture quality is good for action but not detail. I shot a video in AVI format on a sunny day less than 10 feet away from the back bumper of a stopped car. The resolution is too low to discern the license plate number, even after using the sharpening filter in GIMP on a still frame from the video. 2. I use the camera ten times per week to record a bicycle commute of 20-40 minutes. I find 1 or 2 times in every 20 shoots the camera randomly stops and restarts itself at least once during an attempted continuous shoot. Thus a 20-minute video shoot might actually come out as two files with 10 minutes of video in each, minus several seconds of time in between. I have yet to miss out on anything important but the problem reduces my confidence in the camera getting every shot. 3. The sound input has limitations when the camera is moving. It picks up a continuous 'buffeting wind' sound at 15 miles per hour and a 'whistling wind' effect chimes in at 25 miles per hour. This plays back as loud background noise that obscures softer sounds but allows medium-loud sounds like engines and voices to be heard. The camera has sound input settings of low, medium, and high that have little effect on this problem, other than for the lower settings to make voices and engines impossible to hear over the background noise. Drift would do well to add a 'No Sound' option which at high speeds would be the best choice. 4. The camera has no night vision capability so it's for daylight shooting only unless you have a good secondary light source. Bottom Line: This is a very good but not excellent technical product with an acceptable compromise on image quality and price. Note: Drift released a new high-definition X170 action camera in July 2010 that addresses the low resolution problem of the X170 and adds new features like night vision. It costs quite a bit more but it's worth checking out if you want fewer compromises. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Fabulous Camera Super for So Many Uses    This review is from: Drift X170 Action Camera (Electronics) My husband and I bought this camera after using one while cat-skiing in British Columbia. I love the fact that it's compact and low-profile, so it doesn't get snagged in the trees. Most of the other cameras we looked at didn't have an LCD screen or remote control. The screen is really important because I wanted to make sure we're getting the shot we want rather than getting home to find out we were shooting snow or sky all day. For cold weather, AA lithium batteries last longest. I really like the fact that the Drift takes AA batteries, because we didn't need to worry about finding a custom battery in the backwoods of Canada! This camera is simple to operate and phenomenally priced. I'm getting one for my husband for Father's Day so we can both shoot video at the same time. I highly recommend this camera!
