Go Pro Camera

[Tanshanomi]

I use a GoPro at work for product videos (we make truck parts). GoPro is definitely the market leader, but I would not be afraid to try the new JVC Adixxion. I looked it over at REI the other day, and it's impressive. I like the fact that it's waterproof without resorting to the GoPro's clear clamshell.

At home, I have two cheaper sports cameras, a Kodak PlaySport ZX5 and an Xtreme HD. Both run less than $150 shipped

Here are a couple of video samples on our Spyders:

PlaySport (Ignore the jerkiness; handheld as passenger on the back of my wife's RT.)


Xtreme HD (Used velcro strap mount on the RSS handlebars. ):

Guess I should have checked with you folks first. Was going to go with the GoPro 3 but decided on the Garmin VIRB Elite. Now I need to decide on how to mount it on my RT, hope to shoot some video real soon.

Update:
Here is a short video I took on a short group ride with the Garmin VIRB mounted on the dash with a sticky mount.

I am thinking about purchasing a GoPro camera for Christmas this year. Is this camera worth the investment? Is it hard to operate? Pros and cons??

Thanks!

I have and I have a smart phone with the gopro app very easy to record good cam

Those of you that posted videos, especially Sharon's First Ride, where are you mounting the camera.

It sounds good, where can we get the best prices on the Gopro3, thanks

Cabella's has the Hero3 Black (not 3 Plus) for $329.99. Wal-Mart is supposedly going to have them on Black Friday for $299 with a $30 Wal-Mart gift card rebate.

We purchased one of the Go Pro 3+ and would like to know which mount and where would be the best place to mount it on the Spyder RT?

Mrs. Hayfield got me the GoPro Hero3+ Silver for Christmas. I ordered a 64GB SD Micro card for it . . . supposed to arrive tomorrow. I used one of the stick on mounts that came with it, and mounted it right behind the windshield, on the dash. Because the dash is not smooth, I don't know if it will stay on or not, so I've attached a lanyard to it, just in case . . . I'll see how that works. I love the Android App that goes with it!
