Pros
i like the fact you can use the screen to see what your aimed at. unlike the gopro units.and the qaulit of the footage is excellent
Cons
havent found any yet as ive only used it once so far and my friend also has 1 and he also likes it.
Review
for the price i payed its awsome.
Pros
Sturdy and weatherproof, I'd be comfortable falling while riding with this or riding in rain/snow. The quality is very good, especially when compared to other "bullet" cameras, and everything works as advertised. Several mounting options are included in the kit, and they all work well. Viewfinder on the recording unit is very convenient.
Cons
The remote doesn't provide any feedback directly, so there is no way to tell if a button you pushed actually performed the intended action. I tried using the remote with both modes, and ended up just letting the POV1.5 record continuously for rides. The microphone does pick up a bit of wind noise, but this can probably be remedied by wrapping some foam around it. I don't usually use the audio and instead overlay music to the finished product.
Review
This was my first bike-specific video camera and it's been a lot of fun. I've been posting things to Vimeo which you can see here: http://vimeo.com/ckdake/videos If you like documenting rides and have the money to spend, this is a great investment. Don't expect to get HD quality video, but it will look alright on big (42") TVs.
