GoPro Camera


http://gopro.com/

The footage from this camera is pretty good, and it certainly makes me want to get out of the country. No doubt about that. But of course, what they don't show you is that it's impossible to actually see what you're filming.

I have a helmet camera already. But the trick is to get it mounted onto your helmet, and then video the trip, with absolutely no idea of what is being recorded. What you need is a heads-up display inside your shades/helmet so that one eye can see what is being filmed. Without that, you're just filming a bunch of stuff and who knows what you'll have until you download it into a computer and view it. Then, you'll be like...holy sh1t...instead of filming a ride across mexico, I filmed the sky over mexico. Very difficult to know what's being recorded. Too hit or miss, IMHO.

However....give me a real-time video inside my helmet, and now we've got something.
