Figured I start this thread. Most of the forums that talk about the GoPro's it settings and mounting options, ect. are all about mountain biking(?). No sense in me signing up on yet another forum and then talk to a bunch of guys that go mountain biking.
SO anyways, I figured I'll talk about my setting and tricks that I have found on here, maybe encourage you guys to buy one too and record some of your fun.
First off, the GoPro IS the ****. One of the coolest little toys I have ever gotten as a present. I have the motorsports HD hero. I went out and bought the LCD BacPac and a 16G scandisk sd card for it, tested it out over the weekend.
Took a little bit to figure out what buttons to press, how long to hold them and if it was or wasn't recording, but within an hour or so I had the hang of it.
Two tricks I have found already; ziptie the arm to your helmet so if the mount brakes or it becomes unglued, it's still attached by the backup "rope" to you. Also, the prong end is the same one that a tomtom uses, so if you have a tomtom car charger, you can recharge your gopro out on the trails when you take a break.
I'll post up some pics of how I have it mounted on my helmet and my plans for mounts on my quad. I'm also puttin together a lil video of my first time out using it. I watched all the clips over and over again on Sunday. I felt like I was back out on the trails again. MAN it's a cool toy.
