Thumbs up GoPro HD video test on the Nightster

Picked this up yesterday. Be sure to watch it in 720p HD on youtube. I had to compress the video down a good bit for online posting but straight out of the camera and hooked to either my HD computer monitor or my 51" plasma the video looks incredible!

Here's a version with a little bit of editing and music added...

Yeah sorry about the dizzy parts. I'm going to do another vid using the suction mount and get a few different angles off the bike.

I added a edited version of the video with music and stuff to the 1st post.

I like the video with the music in the background with the sound of the bike on top. Too many people have the volume cranked up on some loud, irritating music that makes it painful to try to watch what's going on. You got a nice balance on yours. If you use the helmet cam again tilt the camera up just a bit. For a lot of the video we were looking down right in front of the bike and not further up the road. Made me want to duck my head to see if I could see further out. Otherwise it was a nice clip for me to watch.

Great Vid, i like the quality of the camera and the sound. What editing software did you use to lay the music over the top? That really made a difference!

Looks good, and really sounds great for a helmet cam. You get some bad sounds out of some of those with the wind.
