I know what just moved to the top of my Christmas list.

[Keyser Soze]

Dune season is upon us. I've been meaning to pick up a GoPro for while now.

At least they actually provide solid performance upgrades and add useful features unlike Apple. Getting ready for Apple fanboy attack in 3..2..1..

How much video does a 32GB memory card...anyone know?

[JKOL]

From GoPro FAQ section:

How much recording time do you get?
Recording time will vary according to the resolution setting used and the card capacity. Here are the average recording storage times for a 32GB SD card: 1080p (30 fps): 4h 21m 960p (30 fps): 5h 26m 720p (60 fps): 4h 21 720p (30 fps): 8h 09m WVGA (60 fps): 8h 09m

You can find them for around $50. Check out Slickdeals.

If anyone is looking to upgrade but wants to get rid of the old stuff, I would be interested.

[TransNone13]

Damn, these look great. I will likely post up my GoPro 2 with battery backpack, lcd, and wifi controller if they aren't compatible.

EDIT, it doesn't look like they are.

[modette99]

A 16GB card is more then enough video to mess with editing. One issue with these toys, you end up with a back log of video and its a pain in the butt. what I like is the extended battery pac a must have.

If I was someone that just bought a GP2 I'd be pissed.

[Shanky]

Every fall there is a new GoPro, not sure how anyone is surprised. I have been waiting for this to come out after I broke my HeroHD and didnt want to buy a Hero2.

[Zach929rr]

But seriously,

720p @ 120fps and 1080@60fps

Madness

[johne303]

After watching the video on the main page, I want one so bad!

[Sean]

Yes, please....

This. Super slo mo dirt wrecks will be epic.

[Aaron]

That was an amazing video on their front page.

:yes: Thinking of upgrading to the white.

[ChangBang]

Been looking to get one, might have to get the black edition after watching that vid on their website.

[t_jolt]

Im thinking the same. It would be bad ass to have a tablet streaming your race to the pits...

[blaircsf]

Might just have to get one, kind of glad now I didn't upgrade to the Hero 2. While not opposed to future proofing etc, I do wonder about the >1080p (4k) etc. I usually already just record in 720, don't see a need for higher, easier to edit, smaller etc. I wonder what a 4k file will look like in terms of size.

[TransNone13]

Yup, just listed my whole kit!

[Clovis]

That looks pretty sweet!! Don't forget your ram mounts! :)

[modette99]

I might get one...you guys have me pumped...I do a lot of video so be worth it.

[modette99]

Damn you all...I showed my wife she was impressed and said I could get one.

I'm sending them a question on maybe buying some to sell, bulk order...I'll let you all know how it goes.

[derekm]

might be time to pick one up!

[Graphite675]

I love my Gopro(s) and they are definitely the best cam on the market but I really wish they would change the form factor of the camera. And maybe make a "weather resistant" model for those that don't need a full under water cam. And also improve the microphone.

So - I have a question about these things: What are the mounting options for a GoPro?
I've seen videos that were clearly on the helmet (which seems very logical if you want to show how a rider is constantly looking around / aware of the surroundings), but what about mounting ON the bike for that perspective? Is on the front of the cowling possible? Or is on the dash / through the windshield the primary mount point?

[madvlad]

I wonder if that dude at cherry creek will have hook ups on these.

Just think of it this way....if you want to mount it somewhere, there's a bracket for it out there.

[Snowman]

I've seen these things mounted anywhere. Had one mounted to the swing arm looking backwards. One attached to the frame slider. It's all in what view you want to see.

[Keyser Soze]

Mount example...

[Snowman]

Maybe next time he should mount it under the car...

Just about anywhere, depending on vibration and how you want it to look.

Suction cup mount on tank:

Mount on front, at base of the windscreen:

I've also used a cheap pencil cam facing backwards, but will most likely get another GoPro
