  • The GoPro takes decent pictures...

    Ive never taken a still with it, but I was installing a mount in the 'Mont this afternoon and snapped one to see what the view was like. Im impressed, for what it is, and in a fairly dark shop, to boot.

    I would agree that's pretty impressive quality from a video camera.

          I'm amazed how good they work. Lots of guys mount them on their kart and get great vid's of the race.

          Except for the the every now and then flying off the mount and onto the side of the track. Or get crashed.

            There are a few that end up being brought up by corner workers at our events, they are usually announcing that they have one if someone hasnt let them know that one fell off before it is brought up.

            I dont like putting them outside the car for that reason. None of them that have been knocked or fell off needed more than a new case, but still, I dont want to have the risk.

                  DJ, is that still the original hero HD? The quality looks too good, it looks like a Hero2

                    I think it is the H2. You have the original, right? Mine has the miniusb on the side that I can run off the cig lighter, yours doesnt, correct?

                      I have the orig and I just got a H2, both have a mini usb on them. The H2 says H2 right on the front.

                        I dont have it with me, but Im reasonably sure it is the hero2. Come to think of it, It has to be the 2, I have the LCD backpack, and they wont work on the og.

                          Everyone at T2k2012 had one mounted on their cars.

                            Oh don't get me wrong, it does good video also, I was surprised at the picture quality in stills mode.

                            Here's a very short clip I edited out of the a long segment to mess with another team about leaving their has cap off and trying to gift me some fuel.
