GoPro HD Hero helmet camera

[steve_t]

I'm just experimenting with using the head strap mount around the chin of my helmet but it means mounting the camera upside down. The info 'manual' with the camera says there should be a thingy in the menu to set the camera to upside down mode or if there isn't, to go to the website. I don't have the menu option nor can I find anything on the website. Anyone know how I can do this? Or should I just email GoPro support?

The manual says if you do not see the 'UP' feature in the menu go to the gopro site and download the free patch.

The upside down thingy isnt available at this stage, but is coming.

Oh yup. Cheers. I googled it and found it will be in an upcoming firmware update. I guess I'll just have to turn the TV upside down when plugged in directly

That youtube clip was awesome. Great quality and a nice ride too.

Dammit, xmas has just passed

I swapped the road tyres for knobblies and went out to Maramarua yesterday. On the road, the 530's power seems quite manageable. But as a dirt bike, it's an ANIMAL and well above my skill level! As seen here...

I continue to be impressed with this Gopro HD. That last stack landed my helmet right on the camera, and as you can see it wasn't phased. It caught every grunt and moan didn't miss a frame. Not even any scratches on the case!

Awesome video.
But damn you for posting that, now I really want one of these cameras.

Sorry for the thread dredge Consider it more of an update
Now's a good time if you were looking at getting one as they're on special at the moment. $399 instead of the usual $549

Hey guys

I just got the new HD Hero helmet camera and gave it a try yesterday. The improvement in video and audio quality over my last camera (an ATC3K) is HUGE! And watching it on Youtube in HD still isn't as good as the native resolution.

Love it. Can't wait for the next track day!
