GoPro HD helmet hero

The gopro website finally put the HD helmet hero up for sale (although it's still just a pre-order for November)

But, what does everyone think of this product? I think it's sick that it is only $300, is nearly indestructable, has a 170 deg. FOV, and can shoot up to 1080p.

never really liked watching helmet cams, although it would be cool so you could claim epic runs lol

GoPros are pretty dope.  Had one (non HD) this winter to play with and it was perfect, took tons of abuse, and was easy to use.

Check out 14:20 for a bunch of shots from it using the chest mount.

did they up the storage???

my current go-pro will only take up to 2GB cards,  which is not a lot of HD time.....

waiting for this to release so they drop the price on the non-hd's.  gopro started out so lame with their surf wrist cameras, now the gopro surf and everything else is getting so sick. props to them for making an affordable sick toy
