Title: GoPro HD movie camera..... Post by: thumper on July 23, 2010, 02:55:52 PM I just took the leap and bought one.
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed and get a little intimidated by this stuff so I thought I'd ask for help. Any suggestions that will help get me started would be greatly appreciated. I plan to shoot pretty much all videos so...... SD cards? Settings? Mounting hardware (handle bars)? Thanks Title: Re: GoPro HD movie camera..... Post by: hubcapsc on July 23, 2010, 08:20:48 PM They come with a bunch of mounting plates and stuff, and they sell extras... my favorite has been the simplest... I put one of the stick-on plates on the left air-wing... (http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~hubcap/bridges/dewyRose.jpg) my non-hd one can take 45 minutes on a 2 gig sd card, and 2 gig is all it will take... don't know what the limitations on the newer hd gopros are... wouldn't be able to put 45 minutes of hd on a 2 gig card, but maybe they support bigger cards... 45 minutes of video is a lot, and it is kind of a drag editing video on my wimpy laptop... those are the kind of things you'll end up thinking about... a studly PC with fast disk drives and a lot of memory is a good video editor. You probably need to set the microphone to "low" (or whatever they call it) or you'll end up recording noxious wind noise instead of sweet Valkyrie sounds... -Mike Title: Re: GoPro HD movie camera.....

The HD will take a 32 gig SD and talks 2.25 hours of video. Can't wait to get started. Title: Re: GoPro HD movie camera..... Post by: hubcapsc on July 24, 2010, 02:27:09 PM Thanks for the reply Mike.

As far as I know I'm going on a ride on some South Carolina roads with the North Georgia club on Aug. 7, hope you're going on that ride... I went on a ride today, it's 100 out there, hope it's not 100 on Aug. 7! -Mike Title: Re: GoPro HD movie camera..... Post by: big turkey on July 24, 2010, 03:27:22 PM Hi Thumper, don't have a clue.
Give me a call when you feel like it man. i mean after you mount your video maker on two wheels. First things first. Big Al Title: Re: GoPro HD movie camera..... Post by: thumper on July 24, 2010, 05:44:03 PM Glad to see you back on two wheels, Al. That Dragon run last night sounds like fun!

Post by: KerryNolan on July 25, 2010, 08:08:00 PM I have mine mounted on my helmet, that way, I can look in the direction of items of interest, and with the super wide angle, the transitions are seamless. Yoiu will love this camera. I might suggest using the 720 HD setting, because it gives you the full 170 degree wide angle view.
