eldadgold, the one on that link looks like the one a friend got us from Sam's Club; about $50. My honey mounted it on her helmet, and took it kiting yesterday. It certainly takes good video and collects pretty good sound, too, though wind noise is a nuisance. We're stoked! At that price!

I'm trying out the gopro, helmet hero. Main reason is its waterproff up to 100ft (i do alot of freediving). So for the video is great I'm pretty happy with it. I will try to post some later on

I am happy with it, espesially close in shots. but I know little to nothing when it comes to quality of filming

I am going to start carring them in my shop (thats how impressed with them I am)

I got a Go-Pro wide angle for Xmas too ... yet to get it out but playing with it looks good :)
... it was a great, cheap option for me as the Japanese Yen vs US $ is so good at the moment ;)
