Today, I was just informed how GoPro's help save Motorcyclist's bacon on the road from hit an runs. I guess that is one reason Joe has one.
I heard the Silver model for $400 is as fast of film speed as you need, saves $100, and has touch screen for immediate playback (a pragmatic choice.)
Other than maybe the waterproof case, I was thinking about the remote control and battery pack for up to 3 or 4 hrs (??)
My only question for now, if all else above looks reasonable, is where to mount it. Maybe on the bars and on the helmet too. On the bars seems better for picture quality, but on the helmet (top??) would be more flexible as to what you are looking at all around you. But I just don't know if that would be that much more of a difference, and if straight ahead would be most of what you should capture. And moving head back and forth, you may miss something important. You'd never know what it was aimed at until you reviewed it later (the handle bar mount like Joe does is sounding better and better vs ultimate flexibility.) The helmet mount would be cool for looking behind you and seeing how cars are running up on you: for defensive strategies. Of course that would be the day you needed pointing straight ahead!
If anyone has any suggestions, please respond. GoPro is kind of a motorcycling requirement in the big city. Joe's no dummy :clap::clap:
