It's on like Donkey Kong now son! That's it, you better be up and running by the Fall Classic. I'll put my ass in Novice on the 'tard and show you how it's done!

I will have been off the track for so long by then that I'll be happy if I can run :32's.

Sorry bro, I'm a broke-ass college student working two jobs, I'll stick with the less expensive one! (Although if I had the money I would get the nicer one)

Never said it was cheap... just friggin badass!

Here's a nice youtube vid showing how good the GOpro is.

I see a ton of people with those at the track. They're easy and produce decent video, but the sound is muffled and crappy, has no zoom and is bulky. But it's rugged and cheap enough that if you crash you won't cry.

vid with a Gopro HD:

I run an Aiptek camcorder with a Helmetcamera lipstick cam velcro'd to my helmet. It works well and is compact, but the mic picks up a ton of wind noise and the input jack on the camcorders tend to go out.

What my rig looks like (hard to see in the pic: camcorder is in the fanny pack and the can is on the rear faring pointing back)

I've used mine and it's okay, don't forget that Go Pro now has a HD model that comes with all of the accessories to use it any way you want. Cycloe Sector was doing them for $229 shipped.
