Great videos and very easy to use!
Went with the wide over the HD since I didn't see the need to pay the extra $100 for the HD. Very happy with the product. Out of the box it was easy to set up and get used to using. Now I just need to track down more places to mount it on my bike! Helmet mounted it's pretty cool, but at high speed feels like it's ripping your helmet off, but other than that... awesome! I would buy another one!

Great product, takes good movies with good sound. Easy to use. You just can't review your pics or movies w/o a computer so pick up an extra sd card or 2.

This is certainly one of those well worth the money purchases for the sport riding enthusiast. Cost vs. what you get in quality and versatility is very good. I actually witnessed a GoPro dismount from a bike on the track and be returned without damage for the most part. "Mount was not on smooth surface so no fault of the product" Very good product for very little money.

Awesome Camera!
Okay I absolutely love this camera, quality is amazing! One downfall is I wish the sound would be louder but it gets pretty muffled from the housing.
Stability is awesome, even when I'm rippin up the twisties! I only wish they would get the 4GB version already so I wouldn't have to stop every hour to download my video to my laptop. Other than that it's an awesome investment and you should buy it!

GoPro - Hero Wide
I had ordered and tried out this camera. Right away I was a little disappointed with the construction quality. It seems like it is made completely out of plastic. The lcd display on the camera displays a few different symbols that you will need to look up in the manual the first before using the camera. Resolution of the camera is much lower compared to other cameras available around $250 - $300. A few comments on video quality. I noticed strange black dots when viewing bright light sources such as the sun. I would recommend this camera for bright outdoor use only. Low and medium light conditions are very poor such as indoor with the lights on. I do have to give GoPro props for the audio of this camera. It was able to capture the engine and exhaust sound while filtering out the wind noise quite well. Unfortunately my GoPro unit melted because the battery compartment contains springs on both the negative and positive sides of the battery compartment with just enough space to compress one spring but not on the other side. This seemed to cause a short which caused the plastic of the camera to melt. I would highly recommend spending a few extra bucks and purchasing a better camera.

GoPro Hero Wide - Its a no brainer!
I gotta say the unit, mounting accessories you get (LOTS OF THEM IN-FACT), and overall quality of video is FAR-FAR above what I was expecting. I've used it on my Vision a few times now, both in the N.GA mountains and just returned from Daytona09'BikeWeek after using taking 3hrs of vidio there also. Amazing little camera! Only "complaint" (which is why I rated features a 4) I might have are their instructions could be a tad better, and the LED display to see what mode you are in just a bit larger. (Display is fine, the icons are small and could be larger). WITHOUT HESITATION I'd recommend this to anyone. Not just for price, but for quality. (Lets face it nobody likes to throw money away).
