I'm pretty sure this footage of the Lake Erie Monster was shot with one.

I tried it the Jr but I didn't do something right so I only filmed after she was out of the car but it does a great job.

They are durabale that much I do know. The first time Scott tried it it came off the wing of the Monster around the 1/8th mile mark and still worked when they found it

Very nice camera, I use a conventional (not the wide angle) and it works very well. It record on SD card up to 45mn on the same card...

I'm using a standard def GoPro and a wide one too. I saw the HD Wide is now available.

The camera itself is one of the best non-professional items you can get (apart from that, you can also use a HD camcorder, but you won't be able to install it everywhere). They will stay on at real high speeds, anywhere you install them.

There will be a remote trigger kit available soon, that will correct the only real problem with these cameras : making sure they are turned ON and filming.

Here's an example of a video a friend did with what we shot during the Classic Days last year :

All in-car footage was shot with Gopros, the inside shots with the wide angle.
