Go Pro video cam

Has anyone used one? Thoughts?

I ordered one thru an accomodation program as its 50% off, thought it would be a good addition as the one I used last year wasn't water proof.

Let me know..

Some good information here. http://www.rzrforums.net/general-rzr-discussion/39715-board-cameras.html

Awesome.. thanks for the link..
I like the looks of the RAM mount better and the GOPRO roll bar mount.. I ordered those off the link you sent me.. THANKS!

Welcome.

Just ordered the lcd back for the go pro that will allow you to display what you are recording, or playback what you recorded... HUGE upgrade for this thing for cheap!

We ordered our Go Pro HD today ... after lots of research we think/hope it's the way to go!!! Can't wait for it to come in and to get some new riding vids

got the LCD back in the mail today... and WOW..

This was the missing link to make the GO PRO a full featured camcorder.

Updated the firmware, put on the back, loaded it in the new waterproof case and its AWESOME! Can't wait to take it on the trails!

If you get the GO PRO.. order the LCD back!

Which go pro did u get? I saw all those models and dont know what the difference is?

HD video is nice if your going to just watch on your computer. but if you plan to upload to youtube hd takes hrs to process and upload where the same video in standard def will only take 30 min to an hr. what i do with the Sanyo HD i have is record in HD but when i edit the video with windows movie make i change the video back to SD. works great for me.

so u use windows movie maker to take the video off and edit it? Also how are you putting music to it?

I can't get my movie maker to work with it ... it keeps saying the "codec" is wrong, even though I have downloaded what I thought was the new 1 off the website. It's prolly just us though lol ... if you get 1 & figure it out maybe you can help us!!!

I have no idea how to use those video cameras as far as getting them out of the camera and editing them. I am trying to figure it out. Seems like Bush has it figured out!

James, try installing this newer version of movie maker. You need Windows 7, or Windows Vista with Service Pack 2

Ok.. the Go Pro works GREAT.. Tbone, I bought the Motorsports Hero Version since it came with more stuff.. I used a Roll bar mount mounted to the windshield. Editing, and uploading are a snap.. I just got in from doing a test run, I will edit video and upload so you can see.

Tbone, it is all done in movie maker or any other type of video editing software. Your new camera should have came with something also. Check out this youtube video to see movie maker tutorial.

We have the GoPro 960, got it for around $130 shipped. I love this camera!! Like Bush said, HD is too big but the 960 does both if you need it.

Here is video of it on my son's helmet.

Tbone, here is a quick video I put together from this afternoons test ride. It took 10 minutes to make, 5 minutes to upload, and its 720p hi def.

(Excuse my Garage, those boxes are left over from the updates to the Rzr, and my HT system at home.. garbage doesn't come until wednesday)

As Steve said above, you can record HD, or STANDARD.. up to you!

That was way cool. good job gunpilot

does that lcd screen use up the battery quickly?
I love my go-pro HD

Where can u get a mount for the 960 so you can mount it between the seats on the rzr?

I made my own. When you get a gopro, it comes on a square piece and clicks into it. I cut it to make it smaller and used 2 conduit hangers. It works great! Rode HM trails today with it and no problems. I will take a pic and post it tomorrow.

Here are pics of the mount I made for the GoPro. Cost around $2 for it and you can have the camera facing forward or behind you.

Here is the mount I have for the Go Pro. Seems to work fine, and its behind the windshield wiper in case it gets muddy...

Ok well I got my GO Pro Hero today and I am shocked. I thought it came with an SD card. It doesnt. So what kind of card do I need an how much storage is the max on it? Also what is the best setting to record on. Sounds like 1080 takes a long time to upload. Which option do you select to record with?
