-For when I go bicycling to capture motorists who try to cut me off and then say that I did not stop at the stop sign/light.
(there are actually bicyclists that stop at every light and sign)

-put on my car dash so when the police come and the noob in the loser honda that jumped the light and I subsequently crushed with my Caprice Classic tank starts telling lies, I just bust this out. STFU nub!]]>Jul 23rd 2009 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/Jul 23rd 2009 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/

Also, a lot of these setups don't have image stabilization either, which IMO is a must... at least if you have a pencil neck like me! The other option is just to use any old digicam, mordeth style, like this: www.youtube.com/user/DumbDuck44]]>Jul 23rd 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/
There is a radio frequency feature that can support wireless mics, but I am not sure on the details. I will swing by their booth at the show today and get some more info about it!

As far as stabilization goes, it is not needed! Based on all the sample footage I have seen (lots), connecting the camera to your body is all you need! Again, I prefer the chest mount option over the helmet mount for almost any application. I was surprised at the stability the chest mount video looked when the user was riding a dirt bike over very rough terrain and on jumps. Check out the current videos on their website, and keep an eye out for all the HD samples that are sure to appear very soon!]]>Jul 23rd 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/
@ Scotty T... uhhhh, all the motorcycle vloggers both on and off road out there as mentioned, or even just people that want a first person view of open cart racing or any aerial or skydiving footage. We need a mic in the helmet.]]>Jul 23rd 2009 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/

My only real complaints are:
1) The pivot point on the helmet mount makes it susceptible to bumps on the plane knocking it forward even when fully tightened down. I'd like to see a more robust mount that holds it in position even I smack it on the door of the plane on climb out.
2) There's no way to set the date/time. This means that every time I pull in footage to iPhoto I have to go through and update the date on the movies and stills.]]>Jul 23rd 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/gopro-offers-1080p-high-def-in-a-little-helmetcam-with-the-hd-he/Jul 24th 2009 7:05AM
