Sweet! Now go out and make a video for us. I was told if you're going to mount it outside, keep it inside the clear plastic (waterproof shell). You get less wind noise. Also, don't forget to switch to low sensitivity (for outside recording) and high (for the inside).

Video now or

hahah. Like I said, no memory card yet. Newegg is much slower than Forged

I've already played with it a bit to set it up. Changed it to 1080p, set the time and date, etc. Unfortunately, the setting to flip the video (hang the camera upside down) is not in my camera, and the firmware isn't available for the HD Hero on GoPro's site at this time. I'll be giving them a call I guess.

That might have been true for the last, non-HD model. But with this one they've totally revamped the audio capturing capabilities. There's not even a HI/LO setting like the last model. With the HD model you'll receive 2 kinds of backings for the mounting case: one will be solid for a waterproof housing; and the other is slotted for higher audio sensitivity. So if you want to hear that exhaust, for example, use the slotted backing. If you plan on reaching really high speeds or need it waterproof use the solid backing. Its actually pretty impressive compared to the non-HD version at how good it is of avoiding wind noise when mounted outside.

I'll try to figure out how to upload some of my videos to show you guys what I'm talking about.

YouTube supports the videos recorded by the unit with no issues. I've found that even the backed housing picks up exhaust and other sounds just fine. I'll probably run one day this weekend with, and another without.

Do you have any shots of how you have your camera mounted?

Glad to hear you're using your Kingston 32 with no issues. I just rememberd the feeling when I ordered my camera and found out some of the big name cards were not 100% compatible, so I'm just hoping to help some potential buyers avoid any confusion or card problems.

You better post up some vids man! I'm sure these guys arent as interested to see the videos mounted on my Evo X. There are literally NO bad angles on the 370Z so I can't wait to see what you got.

I'm thinking about getting balsy (if it's dry this weekend) and doing a fender shot including the wheel. It'll be a fun vid if so
