Battery is charging, and I need an SD card. Coming soon, more video. Hmmm, so, can I strap it to one of the dogs?

Is it one of the HD ones? I sold one to a customer & couldn't believe how good it looks on a 55" screen :)

I love mine. I've used it for autocross, mountain biking, and...uh...other personal uses where it didn't like the...uh....low lighting conditions ;)

Costco has the non HD ones for $100, for anybody looking for a very GRM version.

with any luck, I'll be getting some footage from my GoPro HD from both inside and outside of Sparky tomorrow, to be uploaded next week once I'm back at home

The HD version is well worth 3 times the price of the non-HD. I recommend low places such as:

That's because most of us think Bruce Willis peaked in Moonlighting.

Stay away from the non-HD.

Also, watch out for those suction mounts. You can get a great low shot off a Miata front bumper, but if the cup lets go and you drive over your GoPro, that cute little plastic case ain't worth squat for protection. GoPro parts all over the road.

Day late and a dollar short....I got it, though. (Only because I rewatched it last month.)

I picked up an HD one last year. Easy to use and the picture is great. The sound is pretty good, too, even if mounted outside. Considering the last video camera I bought was a Samsung digital tape recorder in 2005 for $600, the GP HD for $300 is a steal.

Yes. The non-HD is a total waste of money, even at 1/4th the price of the HD. Also, the HD is only ~$280 on Amazon brand new.

I'd have to disagree about the non-HDs being a total waste of money. I have one and it is acceptable especially considering how cheaply you can get them.

That said, I bought mine before the HDs came out. You would be a fool to buy a non-HD now.
