| Why not get directly from their website since they got international shipping. If don't want also can get vpost to help shipped over as well. | |

| @ GL, I want to have a physically feel on the camera and how it operates..remote control etc. Also if the price is competitive. If it is just a bit more, i prefer get locally. If there is any fault, easier get support and repair.
@ DD and ztcc. There are a few HD video shot and edited. Quality is impressive. I check out the cam when it was launched, the SD quality not that good, but with HD, its worth investing. | |

| hi guys,
i got the GoPro HD Motorports Wide. just bought the handlebar mount and tested last sunday at East Coast.
there's 2 type of case. waterproof and non-waterproof. the waterproof one should cut-off most wind noise. though i have both cases, i only used the waterproof case for last sunday.
on full-charged batt, i still have 1/2 power after 1hr leisure cycle covering 16km, based on last sunday's ride. i always carry spare batt and sd card.
btw, i got mine from Talk & Play at Vivocity, 2nd storey.

| Hi mdaan
Thanks for sharing. Able to share the cost? Its stated USD$299 on their website. Are the HD clips as good as what we see online? | |

One of my friend thomas the stunt MTB extrodinare has it... we tried the water proof properties on one ride.. u can see the result here http://smallwheelsbigsmile.blogspot.com/2010/09/gopro-hd-video-camera-water-testing.html ..confirm is water proof... Thomas had the helmet mount which is cool but he keeps asking me if the camera is on.. there is a button on the camera and red LED.. The only problem is that u can really tell if the camera is on ur head. | |

| hi Matt, yes its the USD299 HD Motorsports Hero.. i got mine for last year for abt SGD540, if i remember correctly. calculated with shipping, its abt the same as ordering online directly. there's a few video quality settings to choose from. i've used the mid-range HD quality as its more than enough for normal TV viewing and youtube. also, saves me memory space. true HD recording used more memory yup, the quality is really that good, as seen on their website. i've used it as my in-car video recorder and also used it while flying down Sentosa's Megazip. hope this helps. | |

| the camera is really as good as they say it is.. And I agree with the reviews here too.. The HD versions now come with a rechargeable battery pack which helps in the battery life unlike the AAA batts in the earlier versions.. However, I do have a gripe about the camera.. U wun be able to review the footage immediately unless u bring a portable player along on the rides or any other activities. (GoPro is launching an additional LCD screen accessory to be used with the camera tho.. Should be available as we speak). The wide angle helps, but still precise positioning of the camera is required in order to get the best angles.. resulting in many NG shots and have to repeat the activity again to try to get the footage again.. Perhaps, i am just an inexperienced videographer.. | |
