Gopro Camera

Anyone here use these???

Thinking about going that route and looking for some feedback.

Phil uses them alot and we use some in Alaska. Great waterproof camera/video for HD. Sound is a bit muffled in the waterproof case.

What DD said. They are great cameras. Brian Wise is using them now too.

I have one and have used it for mountain bike riding and bow hunting. I love it! I would also agree with the sound in the waterproof case...

You can mount them almost anywhere with the grab bag of mounts they sell.

Come by the house and borrow mine if you want to try one out. All the pics on here that I have taken has been with one. The only drawback I have with mine is not having the ability to zoom in on something. Fixed lense with the 5 mp. The newer ones have a larger mp, but still no zoom. Other than that I love mine!

Impulse shopper's nightmare. Once I got mine, I couldn't stop buying mounts and gadgets for it. I mainly use it as a helmet cam on my bike rides. File sizes are much bigger than I am accustomed to, but that's the norm with high-def. Love it. Thinking about getting a second one, and possibly flirting with the 3D setup.

I use mine exclusively when I'm on my kayak. Best $300 i've ever spent. The underwater video is blurry unless you get a flat lens for it. Makospearguns.com makes one for $20. The underwater video of the smallmouth on beds that I shot is shot with a GoPro.

Hey Chief, another good website that gives good advice on them is eyeofmine.com

Thanks for the info fellas. I am pretty sure I am gonna end up with one of these.

No zoom huh???? That kinda bites.

no zoom but the trade off for incredible full 1080p HD video is worth it. plus the new Hero2 has even better low light performance and 10Mp still shots. scotty makes a nice little mount that will fit scotty mounting brackets. greenfish also makes a pretty awesome mount that provides a ton of flexibility. personally I use the handlebar mount on my light pole. the uw video was shot with the handlebar mount on a extendable pole.
