I finally received my GoPro HD Hero camera (from California) yesterday. I have been making a few crap films (crap as in not interesting to anyone but myself) to see how it works etc.
Last night I stuck it to the passenger window and moved the arm so that it faced out the front windscreen. The pillar was mainly in the way and because of the windscreen wiper sweep I only really got half the picture.
So, this morning on the way to work I stuck it to the front windscreen on the inside again. I have posted a video on youtube of the pure results. I took the .mp4 file off the cam and uploaded it direct. This is at 720p. The files come out to roughly 2GB per 30mins and my flash storage card is 2GB so I have an 8GB on order.
Also, the flash I'm using cost just £2 and the write speed is poor. I've ordered a Class 6 Transcend card which people have been getting some good results from (according to google).
The only real bad point is that it does not yet have a LCD screen or a view piece so you can only roughly point it. There is a LCD screen in development which is simply plug n play.
Comes with rechargeable battery and a 60metres waterproof housing. You also have a non-waterproof housing back plate to enhance the sound but still protect the tiny camera. Also comes with the HDTV out cables to connect it to a HD TV or composite. Since I got the "motorsports" edition (same price) I get all the external mountings to suck it to bodywork / glass, plus sticky mounts and clips for curved surfaces.
