we got a couple of those cameras, we strap them to our helmets when bashing the dunes in the desert, always funny when the person who has the cam gets thrown of his bike or quad lol

I tried strapping one onto my helmet but found it just got in the way of the activity. Not for me I'm afraid.

Chocoholic , its quite funny when you can hear them scream as they go mid air and their shoes fly off lol,

and also no complains so far, they are tough little cams, let me check with my friend to see which one is the best so far and i will let u know,

so what r u going to use it for?

i strapped one one on my remote control plane and took some nice shots from the sky down, i didnt know there was a pool on the roof top of that hotel next to the world trade center lol

general_A , The Hero 2 is the latest model, supposed to have gotten rid of any bugs the original had. The OH wants one for his sky diving, also we'd strap it to the tower on the boat to film skiing and wakeboarding and also mount one on the boards to see how that turns out.

Do you know the Sandstorm guys?

--- Jan 04, 2012 ---

The Hero 2 is great. Retails about £250-£280 in the Uk, the slightly more basic one retails at £199 now. Great on quads, bikes & for skydiving, also wake boarding etc. When you do those kind of sports then it's a must!

Sandstormlady , Nice! The shock proofing and stabilizers must be working over time on that. Fantastic footage, thanks for that.

There's lots of footage on you tube, just search Sam Sunderland. We sponsored him in this years Dakar along with Belray Honda. Sam works for us, also a mate @ Sandstorm.
