Product Description
GoPro's HD Motorsports HERO is the world's highest performance 1080p HD on-board video and still photo camera. Professional quality 1080p, 960p and 720p HD resolutions record at 30 frames per second (60 fps in 720p). The HD Motorsports HERO easily mounts to any helmet, motorcycle, ATV, car, plane, jet ski, boat, snowmobile or other vehicle. The camera's quick-release mounting design makes it easy to re-position the camera around your vehicle for professional quality HD video from several angles. Record up to 2.5 hours on a single charge and up to 9 hours total on a 32GB SD card (not included). Included are mounts for two helmets and three vehicles, as well as a suction cup for maximum versatility and convenience. The housing is waterproof to 180' / 60m. GoPro's obsession with sound has conquered the wind. At 85 mph on a motorcycle, you'll enjoy the throaty sound of your motor, not the wind. Inside even the quietest street cars, hear the pull of your motor...not the drone of the wind and road. Included is a 1100mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts for up to 2.5 hours of constant recording. With optional accessories, you can also plug the camera into a wall outlet, cigarette lighter, or with any USB-compatible power adapter, wire it directly to your vehicle's electrical system. The battery will charge while you record. The camera can also shoot automatic 5MP photos at 2/5/10/30 and 60 second intervals during your drive or ride, hands free. Pre

 GoPro HD March 15, 2010

I got the this camera a few weeks ago and I am SO glad I did. I have had NO problems with it whatsoever. It is extremely durable, completely waterproof, and the video quality is fantastic.
Battery: I charged the camera ONCE when I got it and it lasted well over a week of playing around with. On a full charge, I was able to use it for an ENTIRE day of snowboarding and it barely used half of the battery.
Lens: Yes, it does fisheye a bit due to the wide angle lens, but I personally like the look and it makes so much more visible to the frame.
Mounts: Stuck one to a snowboard, one to my helmet and they haven't budged. The bolt it is tightened with just has to tight or the camera can rotate up or down. The suction mount is extremely strong and I bet it would hold at 100 mph.
SD Card: I have a SanDisk 16 GB Class 6, and it works great. For some reason, the camera doesn't show up as a drive when plugged into the computer via USB, but I use a card reader so it hasn't been a problem.
Navigation: This is about the only thing I could complain about. The waterproof case gives the buttons a bit more resistance, and as far as the unit itself, it navigates somewhat slowly (about 1.5 second response time after each button press). There are a ton of settings and options, though.
Resolutions: The only ones I have used are 720x1280p at 60 fps, which is LIQUID smooth, and 1920x1080p, which looks beautiful (the more lighting there is, the better. On a sunny day, the footage is GORGEOUS. However, is low light situations, you can encounter grain, so be sure there is ample lighting to ensure high quality.
Here is a snowboard video I made with it: [...]
Definitely worth the money, but I got mine for $[...], not $[...].
Highly recommended.

I bought this camera to use on off-road single track rides and adventure races. It worked once on my road bicycle commute,but has not worked since then. Customer support has suggested changing battery types without any difference in performance. It just will not stay on in a bumpy environment. If you buy this camera hang on to your warranty and purchase documents do you can send it back. I have encountered other people on off-road rides who have expressed similar concerns. Amazon will not respond to my emails asking for assistance on a return and Go-Pro insists on documentation. Perhaps my experience is unique, but hang on to your purchase documents nevertheless.
Extremely Disappointed Customer March 4, 2010

I purchase a Go Pro HD Hero waterproof camera and have not been able to take any videos or pictures due to a defective camera. I was able to set the time and date, but as soon as I place the SD card into the slot, an error code "tEL" flashes on the LCD screen. That's as far as I get. I have tried everything from removing the battery, to resetting the camera and yet I still get the "tEL" code. I even tried using another SD card and that didn't work. I have sent numerous emails to GoPro and have not received a response. I have left a phone message and have not received a returned call. The GoPro customer service sucks to say the least. I am also getting the run-around on getting a refund of $299 that I spent on this camera. I am a very dissatisfied customer and I will not be ordering from AMAZON.com again if this problem is not resolved immediately.
 Great camera, poor customer service February 25, 2010

The camera is great. It is waterproof, has a ton of features, and can be mounted just about anywhere.
Pros: 1. Bombproof
2. Great video
3. Battery lasts a long time
4. Tons of cool features (self time, interval pictures, multiple video modes)
Cons: 1. Directions say you can't mount it upside down and capture video, but the firmware update still isn't out
2. Tried to talk to customer support about firmware multiple times...no answer
3. Lens is a little too wide. It distorts a lot. I prefer the Vholdr lens.
I can't fault the camera too much because it takes great video and stills when there is plenty of light, and it's way tougher than the Vholdr.
Lot's of fun! January 20, 2010

I bought the camera to film dual sport rides on my Husqvarna TE610. I bought a 32Gig card and the mounting kit.
The camera is pretty easy to use and once you go through the menu a couple of times it's easy.
I takes great movies but the extreme wide angle makes things hard to see ahead very far and it's hard to see
evevation changes IE up and down hills. I tried different methods of viewing the movies and I like Quicktime
the best. Uploading to U-tube takes hours and you have to be careful not to go over 10 minutes or U-tube won't
take it. I'm sure there is some way to get around that but haven't figured it out yet.
Overall very pleased. On a motorcycle the hard mount does not work well. I use the helmet srap on mount that
comes with the camera, works great.
Also check around for prices, after I purchased this from Amazon I found the same deal on E-bay for $50 less.
