Filmed myself bombing my hill on my moped with my newly bought Go Pro Hero 2. It took a little bit of experimenting with different mounting positions on the actual moped to figure out that helmet mounted is definitely the way to go. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, and with the camera's performance in general so far (other than a shoddy LCD screen attachment that was replaced by the shop painlessly).

Let me know what you guys think!

That looks like a ton of fun :D Good camera work too! Very steady, and not careening around trying to look at everything at once.
 
Woah, looks awesome! That's a beautiful place you live in. One of my friends got one of those cameras for Christmas, can't wait to see his videos too.
 
Very nice to watch, really liking the scenery.
 
Thanks much guys! I was worried the camera wouldn't convey the sensation of speed very well since it was mounted so high up, but I think overall it came out pretty good.
 
Looks awesome, my brother lives only a couple of hours from St. Louis.

So you're liking the Go Pro Hero 2? I thought about buying one to make my boring life more exciting. Or to simply relive boring life moments.

I should attach one to my dashboard cause I see some crazy stupid ass drivers in Texas.
 
Personally I'd have gone with the Move Master Superstar 4, but the Go Pro Hero 2 is pretty good too I suppose.
 
Amateurs. The Super Uber-Cam Expert Deluxe 500 is the only one worth your money.
 
What?! Nah, that one isn't worth shit. You can tell just by the name, it has no notion of movement so it probably lacks any stabilization, plus it doesn't mention any sort of exceptional personal quality. When you're using the Go Pro Hero 2 or the Move Master Superstar 4, you're increasing your chanced of becoming a hero or a superstar. This one just brags about itself being Super-Uber, and only mentions that it's for experts, which is only one step above "Pro" and actually a step down from "Master".

Nah, I couldn't trust a product designed by a company that could butcher it's name so badly.
 
I was trying so hard to think of another word that went along with pro or master, and when I finally thought of 'expert' I forgot about the motion part. DAMNIT.

Super KinetiCam Expert Deluxe 500

There.
 
I've been trying to come up with one that uses "Sensei" but can't think of one that isn't completely awkward.
 
Until you actually looked down at it, I thought it was a longboard.
 
Good shit. Actually looks like your typical New Zealand suburb, except maybe not as hilly. ;)
