It takes 2 Gig cards and comes with bits to attatch it to your surf board ........... :P

There advertising parts to attatch to your car , bike or helmet so might get in touch with Ram Man ...... :)

The leaflet says it's good for 150 mph but it's best to turn the mic down .....:eek:

I got one, which I've used a couple of times. The quality is ok, nothing compared to the 720p/1080i/p produced by some of the new cams which have come out the last half year.

Mine is collecting dust, as I got annoyed with it as it's close to impossible to see if it's on/off and if it's recording as it only have a very small diode in the viewfinder and a display on the front:(

But if you can live with this you'll get some ok videos.

Based on Casper's video I'd say that they are pretty good quality, considering Youtube compresses them significantly.

They've just brought out a new GoPro that does 72/1080 High Definition which is supposedly much better than the old model.
Got one from the factory in California last week - but I've not had chance to use it yet.

The new one takes upto 32 Gig cards but i've only put a 16 Gig in mine. It comes with attachments for your helmet or car. If you want the surfboard thingy you have to order it separately.
 
A friend of mine got one before we headed off to the alps last August. He skimped on batteries, and the thing would stop recording after a couple of minutes. He got the motorsport pack as well (big sucker fixer thing and some sticky mounts).
I mounted one of the sticky things on my Bandit's swingarm (excellent MotoGP style footage of St Bernards Pass!), BUT one of the lads suckered the cam to his lid, which was good for about 10 mins, when it dropped off. As there were cars behind, another mate booted it on to the grass verge - hardly a mark on the case, we were all gutted though as it had stopped recording for the moment his size 10 clobbered it!

I've got a Veho Muvi , very impressed with the picture quality considering the size of the thing [ 55 mm tall ] http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&so...__iIBQ&usg=AFQjCNFgaJKon6l-HvzIa942rxWp3ANOIA


Mine has an 8 gb card in it , which should give 5 - 6 hours of recording .....

Santa paid about £50.00 for it , the standard 2 gb card doesn;t cope too well once you are on the move , so I got the 8gb one ,which is the max it will take .




I need to buy the extreme pack to get the attachments , but I strapped the thing to my head using some laccy bands and went a walkin the other saturday ..............

That piano must have been a bit awkard in the snow .... :mmmm
 
Thanks for that .......... :thumb2

The quality is good enough for me and even better the price ............. :D

PS ............. Where did you have it mounted ....... :confused:

I have it mounted just in front of my left wing mirror - just a RAM mount.

I'm not home right not (no picture), but I use:

RAM-B-202A (took the bolt out as the GO Pro come with an M3 pad)
RAM-B-201U-C (the longest I could get my hands on)
RAM-B-252U

You might have to use a file to take off a bit on the handle bar side to make fit. I used the mirror bolt to hold the base.
