Includes Camera Only! 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. 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. 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. Great little camera for what it is, it is the best bang for your buck. It has lasted me two years. I'm disappointed that it has not lasted longer, but I've also had it in some pretty rough... by Scott Barnes [...] gives it 4.5 thumbs up!

Still waiting for the item. It has been over 8 days and it has not arrived. Would rather buy this at Pep Boys for $199, if I knew it was going to take this long. by Anthony Theriault Gopro Great Item This product is outstanding, the vibration canceling effects are second to none.
