So this is my first ''movie''. i shot it with a GoPro HD 920, so turn on the 720 HD in the lower right corner. Ive never used video editing software before, let alone a mac. it took forever just to learn how to use the apple. It's cheesey but it gave me some good ideas for the future. This was all filmed at Katemcy rocks outside of mason TX. it was the lone star landcruser round up.

Love it! ez to use and super tough! I got the 920 to save some cash, then had to buy a new computer to handle the HD :lmao: i also got the suction cup mount. it is crazy strong!

Very cool. Did you just run it continuously? How much video can that card hold?

It's a good spot back there, you can also hear the exhaust which sounds good and I agree nice first video, look forward to more.

There's a Toyota group up in BC that uses the GoPro cameras on their runs, not sure if they're running multiple cameras, but the point of view seems to change two or three times throughout the videos, dash shots, driver side on the rear panel, passenger side from the door, etc.

Did you just run it continuously?

some times but the battery dies before i fill up the card. it only has about 90 min of battery life and can hold 4 hours of video with the 32G SD card. i would like to get one more for the dash and i have a point and shoot that takes ok vid that i would have liked to put on a tri-tod but since i was the new guy i didn't want to hold every one up. here are a few more vids. i need to remember to take all the cans from the night before out of the bed so it doesn't sound like a coffee can full of nuts and bolts in a dryer.

Heck with the tri pod. Get a motorized control for the camera where it is mounted now, stick a joystick where it is accessible in the cab, use a blue tooth connection to show what the camera displays in your shades and you are good to go.

I've really wanted to get one for dirt biking and put it up under the helmet visor. Or maybe on the front fender.

Sweet videos, Todd. A setup like that would have been fun to have in Moab.
