Thumbs up GoPro Hero HD testing.
Just testing the camera angles in the 951. Need a cage to mount it to.

Here is the video from the testing.

Definitely a better picture than the standard GoPro. Where did you mount the camera for the last angle under the column? Interesting angle. How is the sound recording with this unit?

Wow - far better quality than the regular Hero. How large are the files?

BTW, you should also put a mount on your helmet:

I have absolutely zero need for one of these, and can't justify it one bit. But that is very cool and I definitely want one!

Here are the other 2 videos I have tried with it so far.

Files stay pretty small recording at 720p but get pretty large at 1080p

I reckon you can use them in tandem with another camera. That's if you want to do some editing. You can put
these little suckers on parts of the car that a normal camera just can't go.

True.. Something like a camera for a wheel or something on the outside. Button broke though.. I threw mine away..
