i’ve had the go pro hero camera since Christmas and i do like it. i only use it when i ride in new places. here’s a short video clip of my friend doing an endo when i visited him in Los Angeles:

that quality is uncompressed. when you upload it to youtube or other sites (like this clip i uploaded to ning)

the clips are usually compressed so the hosting sites can save bandwidth.
both of those clips were taken from the helmet mount. i do have the handlebar mount and i had a battery issue the only time i used it. but during that 1 minute of use, it did seem a fair amount less shaky. there’s also a ‘high vibration’ or a ‘low vibration’ setting on the camera (when you go through all the "mode" menus), and one of them works better, can’t remember which. i am going to a new place in VT next week, so i will definitely be taking some footage. regarding batteries, Lithium batteries work far, far better than alkaline and rechargeable ones. when i used lithium, it lasted for more than 2 hours and maybe even 4 hours. it makes a world of difference.
