I can vouch for the GoPro HD Hero 2 cameras - brilliant bits of kit. As there's a new model not long out (only upgrade appears to be built in
wi-fi) older units appear to have dropped in price for new and second-hand items. I've used them for kite boarding, buggying, surfing,
snowboarding and off-roading and it's never failed to live up to expectations. Only thing is that the battery doesn't last too long
(think it about 2 hours), so I bought a few extras on eBay. Std 32GB SD card hold plenty of pics and movies....

I went for a ContourGPS. Very happy with it. Full 1080HD @ up to 60fps and GPS tracking. It has a mobile app to check alignment and alter settings
remotely from your phone... and a new upgrade to the app that gives remote record/stop function (although I've not tested that yet). It's
neat and compact and it has a big sliding record/stop switch that can be operated even with thick gloves on (I'm sick of GoPro vids that start
with a close up of the user saying "hang on, I'm just trying to see if it's on" ? )
Although the GoPro is well recommended, I just didn't want something that looked like a '70's instamatic. They appear particularly
clumsy when fitted to a helmet.

I have got and use daily a Gopro HD version 1, great bit of kit but not too good in poor light
I also have the contour GPS which is different but still has its uses. Main problem with this cam is its easier to damage and the sound is far worse
than the gopro. I still use it but mainly for model aircraft as its a neater fit and cost me less as it was second hand so can bite the dirt when its
the right time.
I would go for the Gopro and as said before go for the cheaper older models if money is an issue. My V1 is great so a V2 must be stunning let alone
the newest V3 'black' versions.
sorry neither are for sale 
Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

Me too, i have the V1 GoPro and love the quality and neatness of it(very compact and non intrusive). However i have just purchased the V2 as it has an
external microphone socket to allow for aftermarket mics which allows for a much better experiance in the video. The V1 suffers badly (but not as bad
as the Contour from what i'm told) with wind noise. It does come with an enclosed(windproof) case but it blanks nearly all the sound out.
Hope that helps

Hi Sean,
Shop around on ebay, i did a fair bit of research and ended up on any of the go pro models. I've just got a V1 gopro for £80, works perfectly.
Took a couple of weeks to get the bargain though.
Kind Regards
Ed

HD Pro is a good piece of kit, but why no roll bar mount in kit as standard?

Nick - does the Motorsport package not have one in? I know GoPro do numerous kits aimed at different markets (surfing, kite flying, motorsports) you
can purchase from new, but you can buy all the accessories separately anyway....

Charlie, I know they can be purchased separately, but the Motorsports outfit doesn't come with one, unless I've been misinformed!!
Cheers, Nick

Ive just ordered this as cheap alternative,
Http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221237942355
Dual camera is great for motorsport (rear, driver or pedals)
Saw this clip when discussing insurance cameras on another forum, which is taken from the same camera and felt the quality was vgood for £40.
