Don't pay 500 bucks for your GoPro...

[slofox]

I just ordered it. Now i really am broke. Will have to get the money back selling videos of myself

You gonna get people to pay you NOT to publish them, huh..?

[Timmeh:P]

It took me 15 minutes to get in the box (packaging!) & 2 minutes to figure the camera & case out. Bistards glued the box on the inside..

Ha! Only took me 12 minutes. Granted I had help from two others to figure it out.

This appears to have sold out!

Looks like something you would find in a Christmas cracker eh?

If you have the suction cup mount best you figure out how to release it before you stick it to something. When i get home tonight my first job is to figure this out so I can remove mine from the oven door......

Its a bloody good suction cup. Easy to remove though. Just flick the little handle back down and it releases most of its suction. Then you just peel it off carefully.

Sticks like shit to a blanket springs to mind. I got the little bugger off eventually, figured the handle needed to be down (eventually) & pull its little tongue till something gives. Sticks to the bedroom wall too..

Hope they've improved. Had one of the earlier ones. Eat batteries whihc had a habit of dying partway through shot (the best take needless to say) and could never be sure it was on or off - needed a red light which could be seen from the rear.
Nice and light though - big plus for that.

They use these as batteries now http://gopro.com/camera-accessories/...i-ion-battery/

It is still a little difficult telling if it is on or off. The small LCD screen tells you.

Would be cool to make a little movie out of a LOR ride with video from different bikes.

Got mine last night so just working out the best mounting points on the bikes now. May have to try out tomorrow if the weather isn't totally foul.
