Got a GoPro HD camera
Woohoo. Picked up the new GoPro HD camera today, ill be testing in the next couple days. Just taking it out of the box I was amazed at the number of mounts it comes with, including a massive suction cup that has been said to remove dents from cars.
This thing will do everything up to 1080P, sample video online is amazing.

Sweet! i have the non-hd one and i love it. the suction cup works very well, so long as you stick it to a good surface. my bike has a not so great rattle can paint job and its not very sturdy on there. but when i put it on the tank (factory paint) it feels like i could lift up the bike with it.

I am so jealous... the regular cam is awesome, I saw that the 1080P option uses a slightly narrower field-of-view, and is widescreen, which is awesome. Definitely on the 'want' list.

i couldnt get the hd one from my buddy when i got mine but the vid is still pretty good from the non hd. the suction cup is wicked i was moving my 300+ pound computer desk by it, lol.
also those 3m mounts are wicked, it took a 10 inch prybar to pop it from free from the plexiglass plate the display one came on. just wicked

this was using the suction cup on the rear facing forward for a different angle.

Me either. But good news I figured out how to play the video in HD. Just add &fmt=22 to the end of the URL. Here is the HD version.

looks good man, did you remove the little seal from the case or is that with the seal still in? i found with the seal in on my go pro wide angle it muffles the sound a bit, doesnt give you the full soun as its in a complete waterproof box, but the folks at go pro say to remove that and it should bring in alot more sound.

Retails for 299 just came out a few weeks ago. A local store here the helmet center is selling them for 275. They make different versions the naked,surf motorsports etc. Same camera but with different mounts. If you already have a gopro then get the naked as its just the camera for about 250ish.
