I got the V.I.O POV.1 I love it it's rather expensive much more then the go pro, but I saw someone with it snowboarding on their helmet...Lets just Say I'm happy I stuck with my decision, I love it quality is awesome it's tiny and it's very versatile

I saw the Go Pro Hero in issue 72 of AutoSalon... ...Think this might be the one I get... ...It seems to also be the only unit in the market that is Mac compatible...

Just a few things keeping me back... ...It says it can only have 2Gb SD cards... ...I've got a few 8Gb SD cards lying around since I changed to a Sony "happy snapper" and had to invest in new cards... ...It seems to only run off batteries... ...I'd like to see a lighter plug power version... ...No "Shock Record" with leading buffer... ...If you're out in the street and happen to be in an accident it would be great if it could start recording with a few minutes pre-recorded before the accident...

There was a duel camera setup (outside and inside the car) a few issues ago in AutoSalon that had the features that I want... ...However it isn't Mac compatible... ...So no go for me...

If the little Hero could take bigger cards and record longer with bigger cards... ...then I would get it...

I think they have a newer model which can read the larger SD cards now, something they didn't tell me when they sold me my Hero off the shelf... probably getting rid of old stock and it was more expensive than if I bought it from Lucas. Oh well.

Picture quality is 'okay' for the price, but I wasn't happy with the sound or the vibration (which I fixed by wrapping gaffa tape around it, I know this isn't hard to do, but another process all the same).

Look closely at the picture (when all is still) and you will see a heat like warp in the picture, sometimes its much worse and I think its electrical interference

RaceRecall sells great suction mounts and roll bar mounts. http://www.racerecall.com/mounts__cases.html

Still haven't bought a mount yet... I really want to get one for PI. The clamp style is my preference to clamp onto my half cage. It's a pity there is no one locally who makes one..

Instead of making a new thread... ...I'm going to Bump this one...

I got me a Go Pro Hero Wide MotorSport kit... ...I ordered it from the U.S. and it arrived yesterday... ...It will be coming out on the next cruise for sure...

Has anyone had any experience with the gear from Camzilla?

I use a VIO POV helmet camera which came with a mount which holds the tiny camera on with really strong magnets. Quality is ok. Here is a pic of it on my roof.
