Hero Cam - Test Video

nlakind · 02-03-2009, 12:10 PM

I just tested out my new Hero cam, it's a 170' wide angle digital action sports camera that mounts to your car..ANYWHERE! I was skeptical, you never know how these things will turn out in real life but this thing is fantastic. I'll be using this camera A LOT for canyon runs, the track, road head, etc..haha This was just a very small test..Nothing special..

I've since learned how to adjust the volume so that you can actually hear the car, but besides that..Let me know what you guys think.

I got one and used it once on my american iron race car. The wide angle makes everything look very far away at speed, the cars in the video are much closer than they look. The quality also didn't impress me but for $200 or whatever it was its not bad. Ill definitly be going back to a regular hd camcorder, and ill probably just use this gopro as a rear camera...

nlakind · 02-03-2009, 04:27 PM

^ i'd say it's unbeatable for $200
