I'm thinking about getting a GoPro helmet camera. I have a website/blog (http://blog.lpmultimedia.com)about motorcycle racing and I think a helmet camera would be a great asset.

A few of the pro riders are running the GoPro Helmet model:

It's only $170


There's a few sample videos on that link. Check out the one on the right side.

Are there any other helmet cameras to consider?

Check this link out.

That go pro camera looks pretty good.

I was considering on buying this one last year..but balked in the last minute.

I'm still waiting for something I could hook up to a HV20 and record HD.

Angles on the cam a little bit extreme no?

Adjust to cover more of the horizon and less of the ground maybe?

Nice find on the cam btw I just might get one!

I agree with you 100%...the camera was tilted a bit low. It was the first time using it on the hill so next time we'll get it dialed in.

But yeah it's worth the $170 for sure.Get one!

Thanks for watching

Check out Action Cam kits from adrenaline systems. I got their helmet cam v 2.0 kit. I love the resolution and integrated stereo microphone . I swap use of their DVR 200 with camcorder depending on how much weight i need to bring.
