I've thought of getting one too. Never thought of mounting it to the crash bar. It works really well in that location.

Very fun.

I was wrong PIB, he was over here tonight and said this is actually 720. I wondered why it looked kinda crappy. Wanted to wring his neck he didn't film in 1080.......

A couple of things. The corn should be harvested already. You only rolled through two of the three stop signs.

That would be a great setup for going through scenic areas. That would be better than looking at your back.

I see Best Buy has a 1080 version for $199. Would be interesting to have.
The video you posted didn't look too bad at 480 but 1080 would look so much nicer. Thank you for putting some good music in the video too

Schu, actually it's not in 720, it's 480 max. Most don't film in 1080, due to a more "fish eye" effect which is great for some things, not so great for others. In fact, at 720 resolution, these cameras are razor sharp. I will point out though that GoPro has released a new, more advanced version of their camera about 2 weeks ago, selling at the same MSRP.
