I have used them extensively with 10/10ths in my car and I also rent them to our participants that want to try them out.
I also sell them and can get you the 10/10ths discount.
I will be posting an end of the year sale this week on them.
PM me if you have any interest.
Thanks
Bill

Can you post some video from the HD version? The original version wasn't the smooth 30 frames a second that they claimed it to be. The picture would jump every 2 seconds or so.

I demo'd one 2 weeks ago at the TX Mile 1 mile top speed shootout event in a buddies LSx powered FD RX-7 (196mph run n/a). Video was crisp and the sound is finally well sorted out. You can film in 1080P mode as well as 720P mode which provides 60 frames/sec. Meaning you can pick out 1 frame from the sequence and use that as a picture since it will be HD quality.
In 2010 they will be releasing as add-on options a remote control and LCD screen which should round out the camera nicely. I'll post up my vids later this week. For $300 they are bad **** little cameras for sure with numerous mounting options to use them on cars, helmets, MTBikes, surfboards, underwater etc.

^ looking forward to seeing your vid's...
I'm currently running a small Sanyo 1080p camera but the GoPro's are much smaller and easier to mount so I definitely would like to check one out

so it looks like good enough feedback to get it! Just have to decide where to put it, I want to mount it on the helmet but I leave the visor open most of the times because the helmet glass fogs up from my heavy breathing!
and on a C5 vette where could I mount it in the front of the car? stick it on the outside windshield perhaps? thanks for the replies
