GO PRO Camera
I'm plannig on buying a GOPRO Camera. I'm having a problem trying to decide between the $149 non HD and the 299 HD. I can get these on ebay alot cheaper than the above prices. I'll use the camera just for my own showing and may put some on U tube to share. What are the pros and cons of each?

Price. Not to point out the obvious. I used to work at CycleGear in Florida, til they closed it. Long/short story.
From what I remember, the HiDef version can store more initially.
I have a lot of friends with the GoPros, used them on my old sport bike. The HD comes out so much more clear than the regular, especially at 50mph and above.
Just my .02

The HD version is definately the better buy. I have friends that use mini DV cams for recording downhill mountain biking and the picture quality of the GoPro HD is the best without question.

I really like mine so far. Only have a 1GB card, which isn't enough at all even on the lowest video setting (have a much larger one coming). I got the HD version.
Took this photo yesterday, the camera was sitting on my desk.
Also, I would go ahead and get the handlebar/seat post clamp too. The videos are pretty cool.

I look at the one in Cycle Gear here in Tulsa every week. I'll pick one up eventually. They used to have video for both the HD and non-HD, there is a very noticeable difference. I'm just concerned on where/how to mount it on my Ultra.

Hey, does the GoPro come with that suction cup mount?

I borrowed a buddy's non HD Go Pro recently for a trip. I am underwhelmed by the quality of the pics compared to a decent point & shoot.
Spend the extra $$$

It comes with the suction cup, but I don't trust any suction cup, hence the 'saftey wire' attached to it.
I have pretty good photos from it while moving. Haven't tried anything stationary with it as I have another camera for that.
Just got in my 16GB card and handlebar/seatpost mount as I'm typing. Sweet.
