Here are two sequences (had to split them in two because of the length) that I shot on Saturday. I got my hands on 2 GoPro Hero HD cameras and wanted to test them for a Sunday shoot and decided to hit Latigo Cyn in Malibu, CA for a test run. My riding is what it is and the cameras could have been set up a bit different (the low camera set to shoot a bit lower, the high camera a bit more forward) but I think you'll get the gist of it. This was shot at 1080p, and I have to tell you - these cameras rock!!! And for the price, they can't be beat (I think they're available as of today). So here are some shots of how the cameras were set up and some links to the video:

High Mount - going back the other way - Part 1

High Mount - the other way - Part 2

Youtube says that they are still processing as I post this so the quality should improve...

Enjoy!

That's some nice footage you took there. How much was the camera with the mounts and whatnot?

NICE OP!

I ALSO have this camera and these F'n ROCK! I have no idea how that dont vibrate, but they dont! I have always gotten rock soild video's even when one time, i literally stuck it on the shock itself!

I have the non-HD version though, but the pics is still amazing! i may decide to upgrade to the new HD one, but im trying to decide if its worth it... becuase the normal one is so good already i mean

About $300 with a variety of mounts included. Look here:

PS - I don't work for these guys, just stumbled across them while doing some research and was able to them to let me borrow a couple of cameras for some work I was going to do. Awesome guys; a great company!

He's got the new HD which does up to 32 GB card, 8 hrs of video, rechargeable battery pack, optional addon secondary battery pack, runs off the car charger as well.

Mine is expected in the next couple days!

I know what to ask the wife for Christmas, especially after spending a ton of money on her new riding gear, which she has only worn around the house.

WOW! That is some great video!

DanielW0830 · 11-22-2009, 12:44 PM

and the audio is very nice.

FZ6R's sound so nice stock.

Extremely Nice Footage! What exhaust you got on your bike, sounds great!

Did the mount for the camera to go onto the front fork come with the camera?
