GoPro HD vid from R500 this morning
Discussion
I'm still running in the R500 (short shifting), but at last it's stopped raining up here!

(for some reason converting to wmv chopped the last 2 secs off. Strange.)

How are you finding the GoPro HD? I've just purchased one for the Help for Heroes Road Trip to capture all of the trip. Is it true that you have to modify the clear box to charge it on the move?
I havent seen it yet as I'm currently out in Afghanistan, but was informed this was the best on the market.
Is it easy enough to use/mount on your car? Want to get some good footage of the Nurburgring and Stelvio Pass!!
Thanks for any advice you can give!!

Can't advise re charging I'm afraid.
The manual is pretty crap - but once you've sorted it out it's very easy to use. One tip - when you turn it on, don't hold your finger on the button too long or it won't open in the mode you want, and you'll have to go round the houses to get back to it.
Audio quality fair, picture quality stunning. V easy to mount to almost anything.

Steve have you ever thought about renting your life out to people less fortunate?

My Dad worked 40 years as a train driver on the London Underground, and wanted me to follow in his footsteps. This fact alone is probably why I ended up in the Highlands as far from underground as possible!GetCarter said:

Maybe i should look into this train driving malarky so when i have kids i can steal their cars GC, that looks stunning. I recently bought a GoPro myself & am currently fiddling with mounting points in/out the car.
Any pictures of how yours is mounted? & I assume you used the transparent casing for the GoPro to sit within?
PS - That road/scenery is stunning...Can't wait for my Alpine road trip in a few weeks now!

Yep... transparent casing and 'sucker pad' (which holds perfectly, as long as you have smooth surface)
I havent plucked up the courage to use it on the outside yet if I'm honest May try it shortly.
