Gopro or what?

[Trials Rider]

Hi All

I am looking at the idea of a Gopro or similar helmet cam, I am not a techno wizz on whats hot and whats not and there seems to be a number of units available, any tips would be well received, good and bad.

What I would like personally is remote control on the handle bars so on/off would be quick and easy, dont know if it is available.

I have a Gopro HD version 1 and it takes great video. I believe that the Gopro HD 2 has got wireless remote availability and is supposed to be better quality than version 1. I can't comment on any other cams though.

One thread will usually suffice. You're welcome.

Most people use gopro for a reason... they are the best on the market, there are a few other brands close but not quite.

go pro are great, make excellent vids, and easy as to use.
just dont borrow one off a friend and lose it off your bike at 200km/hr+, youll never hear the fucking end of it . . . DAMHIK

V.I.O P.O.V HD about $500 Canadian much better design than the go pro.
they have to be ordered on-line though as most of the shops market go pro & contour

When the wifi back is released, it'll work on the Version 1 as well.
The only thing it won't do is remote preview on an iPhone or android. That'll only work on a V2.

I'd borrow one first & see what you think before forking out any money.
Jatz bought a go pro which I think he wants to sell. I got a contour HD as part of a promotion & after using it for a couple of mountain bike rides it's lost its appeal.

You should be able to get some more appeal on TradeMe or eBay.
It seems to be a common problem.

Tried the search box, it came up with nothing, its not a very good search system
