Seem to handle the high speed shaking better than most units, mint

[cheese]

Yip, the same. $480 free shipping.

[DrunkenMistake]

Great Cameras, I have one myself and love it,
I found it was a tad cheaper to buy from GoPro themselves but your only looking at a saving of $100 - $150 if your lucky, then you have to wait god knows how long for it to arrive haha

[cheese]

At the current exchange rate + shipping your looking at near on $600 for the full HD motorsport pack.

Great cameras, you'll see loads more of these than anything else at trail ride events for, good reason.

They take a little bit of setting up and I spent a day out at Woodhill taking some lovely vids of my visor on my first attempt, but once you've got the hang of them, they work a treat.

If you do purchase one, be careful about the SD card you use, plenty of info on the net, but they are sensitive to specific brands and card types. Not a major issue, just don't waste money on cards that won't work.

[Transalper]

I have one and would love another for that second angle cutaway shot... if only I could afford to spend the money... which is a no unfortunately not at this time.

As for cards, I spent $130something on a nice slightly upmarket and fast SanDisk Extreme 16gig card which works well before discovering the ADATA Class 10 16gig for around $40 (http://www.dragonpc.co.nz/p.aspx?170712) works well too. Peeteey put me on to them as he uses them too.

$480 delivered + warranty? Bargain. Love mine to bits & I have finally managed to convert MP4 to AVI so now I can edit with WMM & no quality loss & no money. Woo hoo. I'm also close to getting my Black belt in GoPro mounting.

How do you convert to AVI? I had a few attempts when I first got mine, but then started using Sony Vegas Pro instead and forgot about converting the files. Would be nice to have the option.

Im in the USA as we speak, and have bought a unit for a friend while Im here. its quite a bit cheaper than that if you purchase correctly.

The issue I find with them, is what youre gonna use them for, if you intend to upload footage to the internet, you're better off saving nearly half the price, and getting the 960, instead of the full 1080p HD. Try uploading a full HD video to youtube. (Its fine if you live in the USA with no data caps etc) If you want to upload, youll only end up compressing the originally HD recorded file, or filming in a lower quality anyway.

Of course, if you intend to seldom upload, then the full HD will be fine.

Just my two cents.

Don't forget import duties on top of that!

[oldskool]

Make sure you get these. They prevent the inside of the protective casing from fogging up in the humid wet conditions we get here (Auckland). The GoPro has a battery warmer (yeah right) for sub zero temp recording but what it does is warm up the interior of the casing which in certain environmental conditions causes fogging.

theres lots of little extras you can get to go with!

[DrunkenMistake]

Under $500 you wont have to pay Duties, I imported a grands worth of exhaust system and didnt even need to pay the GST on it. Chances are fuck all.

Really, i've been caught more than once, and on under 400 before. You take yourc hances i guess but its a shit when you get a leter than your new toy.

Shit I have imported heaps of shit ranging in prices and the only time I have ever got a letter was because it was an illegal weapon and I needed to produce a letter from the Police, I didnt know it was illegal of course, and left it at that, and that was some time ago

I have a digital Vio POV for sale including a nukeproof mount if anyone is keen and also have VIO HD units for sale.

PM me if you are interested.

[cambocambo]

What do you get extra in the motorsport pack?

[george formby]

How do you convert to AVI? I had a few attempts when I first got mine, but then started using Sony Vegas Pro instead and forgot about converting the files. Would be nice to have the option.

Tis a bit of software called "simplevideoconverter" & it is simple, quick & easy. You will have to hunt around for it, a friend gave it to me. It is freeware so should be easy to find.

[sil3nt]

What do you get extra in the motorsport pack?The motorsport pack is the only one with the suction cup. The helmet pack just has extra mounts for helmets. You can buy all the mounts separately anyway so it doesn't really matter what you go for.

Do you want to part with yours? :shifty:

[Pierce]

Yeah I ended up getting the 960 and i'm well chuffed with it. Only problem is my last crash I ended up hitting my head so hard the mount broke.... Needs me a new mount now:facepalm:

[Jay GTI]

Jesus, you must have been going some, I've had a few crashes so far, as well as collecting a few low-hanging branches and the mount has been steady as a rock...

[BoristheBiter]

Or you can make 3D movies now with them
