just youtube

comes in wide angle

depends on what card u order. largest card is 32gb and thats roughly 9 hours altho a single charge only lasts 2.5 hours

just check gopro.com

the sound quality is abit shit and you have to be really stable. other then that tho, solid cam def worth the price.

Exactly what he said ^. Camera is amazing quality it's smaller then my palm, comes with a water proof housing, and a non water proof one, this one allows for better audio. Depends on the setting you shoot at for the wide angle part everything has a 170 degree view angle except the 1080p it's 120 degree I believe.

The camera is awesome, but a pain in the butt to edit the raw files because they are mp4s, I use adobe premiere cs4 so it can export mp4's but not edit them.. but now that I figured out how to edit them, it's painless and awesome.

Looks really good, so it can take lots of abuse and is water proof? What kind of attachments it does have? And how much was this?

Believe it or not the camera is only $299. Yes it can take abuse in the casing, it's waterproof and apparently "bomb-proof" is what they say. The helmet cam comes with a strap and little flat mount where you can attach the camera, but you can also buy different attachments like sticky mount plates for surfing, or to put on the hood of your car whatever. I have suction cups prior to getting the camera so I just use those. I also bought small clamps that come for the go pro as well for clamping onto bike handle bars, etc. comes with like 3 different sizes. I also bought a chest mount which is a little seatbelt like strapping over both shoulder and a flat mount plate in the middle of your chest where you attach the camera. I've yet to use this attachment yet because I just bought it and was trying to buy my new HD camera too. I just bought the sony HDR AX2000. so I'm pumped for that to ocme in the mail.

But yeah awesome camera not only for the money, but for all the things you can do with it. like I made that video out of using random crap that happened and it's entertaining to watch, you can get really cool shots that you never could before, I.e underwater with the canoe paddle.

I will warn you now though. The Go Pro is awful in low light. like to the point where I wouldn't use it inside my house. So be warned about that. But for outdoor stunts and skating or whatever film making your doing, it's a definite must have for unique shots.

Cool video. I really liked the fishing shots and you bare handing a snake like a total badass.

Did you mess with the colors at all? These cams seem to produce nice warm colors outdoors.

I dont think he changed the colors at all. and I have never heard it being bomb proof, I doubt it, the casing would rip apart, but the casing is pretty stong dont get me wrong. and yeah I forgot to mention it is horrible in low light. really bad :(

but yuss everyone can just go to www.gopro.com and have all their questions answered.

Sucks about the low light issues. I could see myself using one of these cameras for a band shoot, but most of them play in dark venues.

yur questions stupid.


but to answer it, the go pro camera is just like a really small digital camera almost, with no viewfinder or lcd screen, that then has a casing that u can use to attach it to accessories.

They do have a new one that has a half view finder not sure if it's a bit more expensive though, it would be handy.

Oh wow I didn't know it was a dumbed down version that sucks, I wouldn't suggest going that way then, like slavin said it's really not hard to point and shoot, all the footage in the video u just watched was done without one
