More info on the Go-Pro please. I know they make different types. Suction cup on the helmet I would assume.

Very Nice! Thanks. How did you pan around front to rear so smoothly? Was it your passenger doing the shooting? Doesn't seem that with a helmet mount you could turn your head that much and if you were holding the camera or that it could be that smooth and still keep focusing on the other rider!

Nuke, Coach, they are the rage in motor sport and extreme sport. For a couple hundred bucks, they out perform $2000 dollar incar cams. Visit their site and check out some of the vids. The new Hero 2 is the best so far. Screen options are much easier to thumb through than earlier versions. They come with a slew of mounting options with plenty more available.

Standard disclaimer... I have nothing to do with GoPro. But I've been using them from the day they first hit the scene. If you want to see where your eyes are really pointing through the turns and examine your racecraft in the twisties, car or bike, they rock.

Glad to hear that for I bought one of them before I went home last time, but did not have enough time to try it out. Mainly got it due to being able to hook up a external Audio. Have the GoPro Hd also which does great picture, but audio could be improve in many cases when trying to get the right rumble of the engine and not the wind noise.

Have a couple of older Bullet cams that had to be plug direct in Recorder and compared to the HD, not as good, but did like the ability to use external mics, so the Contour Plus seem to fit the target.

So good to know someone is happy with theirs and I did not get a POS.

Hopefully next time home will put multiple cameras on and see if I can work on some realy interesting vid.

Yea guys I'm actually holding it in my left hand. I know this could be dangerous but what the heck. I tried to keep smooth recording. I purchased the go pro pole which you can grip with your hand. love this camera!!!
