PROMO CODE: 6N34GL8 OFFER EXPIRES NOV 8TH 2010

retail is $299, the promo code should get u the price of $200!!!

[versep]

*takes out credit card*

I was always on the edge about this, but this deal just pushed me over :)

EDIT: Deal includes free shipping as well I believe. I got charged $0 for international shipping to my house.

[ilvtofu]

I think someone at one of the RSU meets had one, how is the audio quality, especially mounted up front like the evo in the picture, I'm just worried about wind noise

LOL Bombproof though, how can you go wrong?

EDIT: Hmm watched the formula video at infineon and sound is alright

[FN-2199]

I can't wait for mine to get here :)

[Gh0stRider]

reported as spam...hah jk

[1exotic]

The frame rate and quality is pretty good, audio is decent but not the best... but still for $200 bucks not that bad, especially since it's compact.

[rexsomnii]

group buy? :D:D

[roastpuff]

Ordered! Thanks !SG!

[rexsomnii]

how much was the total, for those who ordered already ?

[roastpuff]

how much was the total, for those who ordered already ?

I shipped to Point Roberts, so $200 flat. They wanted to charge me $20 shipping to Vancouver, and that was FedEx Economy - which will get dinged for taxes and brokerage for sure, so I decided to nip that in the bud.

[SolidPenguin]

I just ordered one too. Too good of a deal to pass up at $200.
Plus i've been wanting to order one for a long time except it was just a bit too much.

shipped to point roberts too, cant wait!

[rexsomnii]

i want to get one too.

please pm to let me know if you are planning to get one.

i will pay you in advance.

[AVS_Racing]

UGHS should i get this or a dvr system !$!@#

[SpuGen]

i want to get one too.

please pm to let me know if you are planning to get one.

i will pay you in advance.

Why don't you just buy it yourself.

[rexsomnii]

Why don't you just buy it yourself.

cuz i cant travel down to Point Roberts and i want to save 20 :)

[1exotic]

you guys ship to TSB Shipping Plus ?

you basically declare what you want there at the border in Point Roberts, they always let you go by easy.

[SolidPenguin]

I went with TSB. I was choosing between TSB and The Letter Carrier. Both their rates were exactly the same but a friend has used TSB before so i went with them.

[!Aznboi128]

I got it shipped to my house as I'm lazy as fuck. Let you know how much I get dinged after.

Off topic but how long do those squash scent last you? My vent one is 3 or 4 months old and i've still got a quarter left O.o

Wish I had the paypal balance to buy the camera, maybe I'll wait till one of you guys resells it used ekeke

[SolidPenguin]

The coupon code adds a second item to the cart. And it is a 33.33% discount. Check the total price again after entering it in.

[genesis195]

yes i got a discount, but no free shipping... anyone else have the same problem? I'm getting it shipped to my apartment in Vancouver.

actually i did, FedEx Int'l Economy was the only choice, at $0.00

[lavabo]

anyone know if FEDEX charge a lot of duty tax??

no, but they sometimes charge you handling fee :rolleyes:

I wish I wasn't broke :(

The checkout process took a while... I just kept checking the billing info, shipping info, shipping option, blah blah. god damn annoyed by the end of it.

Here's a vid I shot at Mission with the GoPro HD

^^ Too bad Youtube's video compression ruins the quality. :(

That said, I'm sorely tempted to pick one of these up. Only a couple hours to decide... lol

Mine's shipped

If I was still on the fence, I would pick it up, especially for the price! They are supposed to release an external mic as well. Here's a video I took @ Mission this year. Skip to 0:51 for onboard footage.

Thanks! I used Adobe Premiere and After Effects.

[gars]

mine's shipped! w00t! thanks for the heads up!!

maybe I'll have it mounted for the drive back from Pt Roberts.

[genesis195]

Just got mine today. More exact. 5 min's ago.
i payed a total of 214 for it beacuse i never had the "free shipping" that people kept posting about. But either way i went with it since to me it was still a kick ass deal.
Anyways I had it shipped directly to my house, and all i can say is. Guys just drive across the boarder and pick it up.
I had to pay a total of $47.25 CAD for customs.
GoPro has sent the package at a value of the original price, 300. So on the official recipe that i received from them, it says $299.99USD for the price on the camera (i find it odd). But ya I paid a total of 261.25 CAD shipped for this camera.

[gars]

Apparently HD Pro is cancelling orders. A few people on RFD posted that their orders got cancelled - someone posted their tracking info - and it looks like it got to Ontario, then got redirected back to Cali...

crossing my fingers.

[SpuGen]

Mine is apparently on it's way..

I'd pick it up at Point Roberts, but theres a warrant for my arrest in Washington. hah.
:(

[gars]

hahaha good job

Mine's on the way as well, but I'm just hoping it's not going to change - shipped to Point Roberts.

[roastpuff]

At any rate, mine looks like it's just about to be delivered to Point Roberts... we'll see what happens.

[SpuGen]

Fedex guy just dropped it off.
$47.
Now if I could figure out how to take this damn thing out of the box.

Edit:
Got it.
Jam a knife just inbetween the White box and the Black Box. There's 2 spots that have adhesive on it.
Jam knife in. Cut.
Pull out.

I wanted to keep the box. If you don't care, just rip the bitch apart.

[SolidPenguin]

Gonna go pick mine up from TSB tomorrow or friday. Cant wait

NEVER FORGET!

mine's waiting for me at pt roberts.

[StylinRed]

aw just browsing this thread now, i thought it was some spam thread at first

this would be awesome to get its really steady (basing it from the formula race car video)

and yeah it would be insane attaching one to that RC Jet (it'd probably throw off the balancing though?)

[gars]

picked mine up at Pt Roberts this morning. No tax/duty coming back across the border - the guard was nice.

tried it out, it's pretty decent quality, i'm happy with it. Note to self: make sure suction cup is securely mounted before driving... we drove for a few minutes before realizing it had fallen off, luckily, we were just on some side roads having some fun...

[SpuGen]

^
Gotta clean the cup and the surface.
Otherwise it's gonna fall.

Don't touch it with your fingers after cleaning.

[gars]

i might get some alcohol wipes to clean with

[SolidPenguin]

That suction cup is pretty damn strong, how did it come off.

Make sure you press all the air out first with the button then flip up the tab. I couldnt get the thing to budge if i tried, and i didnt clean the surface first.
The suction cup even works on my motorcycle helmet which is pretty cool so i dont have to leave one of those 3M tabs on there

[gars]

we didn't clean the surface off first... i guess that was the problem.

[!e.lo_]

we didn't clean the surface off first... i guess that was the problem.

yea that suction cup is pretty strong. got stuck on my friend's desk.
just need a clean surface. then like previously said, press down on the button then flip up the tab to lock.

must have crazy frequency considering how far it went...
does this guy work for NASA or DoD?

[TOPEC]

so has anyone actually try out their gopros yet?
i did some tests today and found that day light performance is good, but night time performance is very sub par.
editing the vids and will upload them to youtube later.

[SolidPenguin]

Heres a quick test i did with mine right after i picked it up.
Used the suction cup mount, at 1080p. Not too much vibration, sound is good. This is with the open backplate that isnt waterproof. 2:40 video ended up being around 240mb. So close to 1mb per second in 1080p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0obQxHEEJs

[sleepywheel]

Now that really makes me want to get onto a bike again....:drool, it's been too long.

Good video, should have cleaned the windshield first though ;)

Anyone have trouble formatting a SD card? Or getting the camera to erase the last video?

There's a software upgrade on GoPro's site that gives you a few more options, like having the camera upside down but filming right side up.

The Lexar is faster, and I trust Lexar/Sandisk more than Patriot/Kingston. Especially since I've heard not-so-good stuff regarding Patriot LX Signature cards.

[sleepywheel]

What do I know about memory cards, haven't bought one in a couple of years and don't have time to keep up with all the latest advances. Good to hear about other people's experiences. I'll watch for any problems with mine after I pick it up, if it screws up, back it goes for a Lexar.

I currently have a Transcend 16gb class 6 card.
