They the same ones that were used for this?

(how do you embed videos??)

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

Yip, the same. $480 free shipping.

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

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.

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 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!

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.
