Picked up a GoPro HD Motorsports Hero last week and got a few test videos. The quality of the little thing is awesome! I think I smudged the front of either the lens or the case at some point, because my other videos have a strange glare to them. Anyway, here is the short movie I put together with the test clips.

Thanks man! That was only 720p as well. Didn't feel like waiting on 1080p to process last night. I love the little guy. Only complaint is the lack of a rear LCD screen (which they now offer as an add-on) and will actually be picking one up next week! Having a live view while positioning the camera and being able to review the clips on the go will be very nice. The different mounts available are really cool. Bought a head strap mount and should have a handlebar/seatpost mount coming in soon. I'd def recommend one of these!

damn. I'm going to have to do it now. I wish I would have known about the camera while I was in colorado. It would have been sweet for snowboarding!

The first time I saw the trailer for this camera I was like WOW!! It's amazing how it has a steady cam look to it.

Plan on taking this one snowboarding on spring break! That's one of the main reasons I bought the head strap mount. Might be cool to get some shots with it suction cupped to the board also. Should be interesting. Of course, I'll have to bring the DSLR with me to Colorado as well.

I use QuickTime to trim the movies into workable clips and then iMovie to edit.

Got an LCD BacPac for it today. Definitely makes a huge difference! Much easier to set up now and a lot more convenient to watch videos on the go :pimp: Also, tested out the waterproof housing for the first time, pretty sweet! The picture is really clear underwater!
