GoPro?

Is $179 considered "low cost"?

Any particular model GoPro? Looks like there are several different models. Thanks.

The one Nick linked is the least expensive (I think it's the only non-1080 model they've got now). You can always add additional mounts if the included ones don't match your needs.

Both GoPro and Contour make good cameras, and have a lower priced model that would likely fit the bill for what you need. If you opt for a model above the base Contour offering you can get an add-on connector that allows you to use an iphone/Android phone as a viewfinder as well - pretty slick...

That takes you out of your budget range for right now, but may be something to consider when selecting which model you buy.

I picked this one up:

JVC WP-10AUS HD Waterproof Video Camera

http://www.microcenter.com/...l?product_id=0345716

Really like it, but can't mount it on a helmet or bars.

You can get an adaptor that clamps onto the bars for a camera...

How many hours can it record on a charge? Does it take big SD cards, i.e. 64GB?

Don't know in terms of "hours" probably 30-45mins.

Just picked it up and used it for the first time at IMOO.

It does take big SD cards, need a class 4 or faster for HD recording, I picked up a class 6.

Downside is no swappable battery.

The 960 is a great camera (960p resolution).

Also worth looking at the Contour's I saw for US customers that they're doing a good deal atm on the normal 1080p CoutourHD on amazon.com

Here's the ROAM which claims to be waterproof to a meter:

GoPro, Can you take still pics with it?

Kodak Zx5. a bit cumbersome if you mount it, but great for the pool

Ask Rappstar about that, he can tell you from experience that you can indeed take pics with it.

Contour HDs have been popping up on the deal sites. It is a good camera.

Here's a link to one of my cycling videos. I mounted the cam to the handle bars. I've raced with it a few times.

Tachyon MicroHD Helmet Camera it does have audio and is waterproof to 100ft (there's a video at the link that shows the camera working at 160ft in the bottom of Lake Placid). It also takes still shots. BTW - this camera fell off my bike the first time I ever used it at about 35mph. I stopped and went back to pick it up from the middle of the street and its worked like a charm ever since. It friggin' tough as nails!!

I don't have one, but have been looking. Leaning toward GoPro.

Here is a comparison:

Any suggestions for a smaller one that you could wear on your helmet pretty much full time? The GoPro would be redonkulous.

I need you to hurry up and buy something so I can borrow it and take it to Utah :)

The Tachyon micro comes with a helmet mount. Its really very small, not much bigger then your thumb.
