A couple more paid units! Will order as soon as the checks arrive.
Make mine 3 units! The Snap-On guy wants one, and has paid me already.
Also, a friend of mine wants one, can he just send you a Paypal with his address and such?
Yes he can, not a problem.

does anybody have experience with the sound quality on this unit?
(Eric or anyone)
I want to find something with a little bit of sound quality or at least better than the static you sometimes find on in-car footage.
in car & not in direct wind the sound is awesome.
Even in the wind it's not bad (when it works):

Sadly, I already picked one up for about $275 from a retailer, and all I can say is "GET ONE"!!!
These are perfect for us gear heads! The camera goes everywhere with me and can go everywhere on my car.
Want to see wheel movement on a turn - Attach it to the fender
Want to see my hand movement on a run - stick it in on the harness bar
Want to watch your throttle linkage in action - put it in the engine bay
IT GOES ANYWHERE and in the rain too!
A GREAT tool and great images too!
[url=
group buy is a great idea, Time to tell my 914 friends to get in on this.
BTW, it is a great tool for videoing small children too. As it has no screen they lose interest in it and will accept it being around them instead of the constant struggle to keep them from behind the camera that I usually have.

Yes, agreed. Wind is your enemy here. Now, the GoPro guidance says to use the sealed back door with wind over 100mph, but I'd say use it over 50mph.
The problem with my in car mounting location is that it is right behind/between the seats and as I am required to run DE with the windows down, the wind is really strong there. The clip above is with the sealed back door.
So, as the GoPRO has no external input for a microphone, that is as good as it gets for that location. Moving it to a calmer location would be a good bet
Now, if I were trying to get the best possible output, I'd run two cameras;
1. Where you can see everything you want
2. out of the wind, near the engine
Then just use the second camera sound for the first camera.
Make sense?

These cameras have been ordered, the first 15 anyway, & should ship out to me today. I was told that I will have them by Friday. Once I receive them I will start getting them shipped to you guys. This price is still good for now so if anyone still wants one just let me know.
