wow thats not a bad idea...wonder how well it works?

 

nice find, eyeofmine gives links to two postive reviews, but I found this video by someone else that bought the fix and still has problems with wind noise

I started building more tow hook mounts for the Go Pro and tested a new design yesterday. With the enclosed case with the Hero2 I had very liitle wind noise at speeds of 0 to 80 plus mph with the mount on the front tow hook, you can clearly here the intake and the engine on the video. I haven't tested it on the rear tow hook mount yet. I was surprised when I watched the video after returning home. Here are some pics of the tow hook mount . Thanks David

Got my mount from David (aka: Bama) tonight! I'm not ballerific enough to have a GoPro yet, but I use my Canon SD980, which will do 720P. This thing is sturdy as shit and I think my damn tow hook would break before this thing would. Cool thing is that I *think* I can replace the center nut with a smaller one and mount my camera on the windscreen too. At any rate, I'll throw my .02 more in and maybe post a vid when I get the chance.

Special thanks for Dave for delivering on the day he said he would! Mad props!

 

Mocky and I have been talking about this for a bit on and off. I found some great info about the remote mic on a different site.

Basically the Gopro does not provide and power to a mic you hook up, so be careful, because if you get a mic that requires power, but doesn't have it built in, you are hosed. Also, the site admin provides a link to a cheap mic on Amazon, and recommends a wind sock to go over it.

 

Also, instead of a Stereo splitter you could get a stereo to mono adapter, and mount the mono mics in different spots to play with the stereo input.

Anyone buy one of those external battery charger with battery kits off ebay? If so how is it working and which one do you have?

 

had mine for a few days now but haven't had the chance to really try it out. i bought the helmet hero and a extra suction when amazon had the nice deal so i got both for around 200 shipped which wasn't so bad.

although i no longer have an s2k i'll post some videos once i get to play with it during my vacation. to make things worse, i just came back from a trip to the tail of the dragon and i wish i had this so much. but thanks for the info in this post, very helpful as i couldn't find much info online. (kind of wish i got the hd2 though)
