Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/ROPYY9NBPBX6 This is the Gopro Surf Hero on the nose of my 6'4" Fish. It was easy to attach to my board, easy to video and easy to edit. The camera does eat batteries.
Great product. July 30, 2009

I got this for father's day this year and quickly put it on my longboard. I love the videos it produces.
Everything was pretty easy to set up. It does eat up batteries, but that is ok. The video quality is excellent.
I've already recommended this to a number of friends.

Great product for the price. I used it on my surfboard for a trip to Nicaragua and then at home on my motocross helmet. I highly suggest for any action sport.
Great camera for the money January 21, 2010

This is a great camera. The video is smooth, the wide-angle lens is awesome, and it does what you want it to do. I mean, I could keep going with good things but you get the point.
On the flip side, battery life for rechargeable NiMH batteries is pretty bad. Sound is a disaster and I still haven't been able to flip the display so that it is right side up, but I don't really care. I paid ~$150 so that I could record myself surfing, and I am more than satisfied with my purchase.
The camera I initially received was defective and I worked with their customer support to get a new one. They were not able to reimburse me for the shipping but did offer me a grab-bag of mounts and a discount off of any future purchases, so I am very satisfied with GoPro's customer service as well.
My biggest dilemma before buying was whether or not I would actually fit in the frame, so if you want to see how things look from the nose of a 6'4 board with a tall (6'2) guy riding, click the link in my profile.
Bottom line: it isn't perfect, but it was exactly what I was looking for and I thoroughly enjoy using it.
 Overall good camera for action vids. March 20, 2009

I've been using this camera for scooter ride videos and it works great. Accidentally got the surf one, but modified the mounts to fit, one on my helmet and on the air filter box pointing backwards. Both angles make a cool video, but the one actually attached to the bike can get a little distorted due to engine vibration. It takes cool wide angle still photos too, looks almost like a fish-eye lens. Only problem I have is it makes everything look farther away than it is, so it takes some getting used to. Haven't tried taking pictures underwater yet, but it is definitely waterproof. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with this product.
