Go Pro at Costco

[Flash41]

Hey gang, might check out your local Costco for Go Pros for $99. Don't know if its local or nationwide. Denny

do you mean ride like a pro?

[Art708]

Video camera I think.

[Brake Pad]

is that the mini, that you can attach to the bike, in a clear case?

Look closely before you buy. There's more than one kind of Go Pro. At $100 it's probably the older lores version rather than the newer HD version.

I tried 5 of them and never had one record worth a darn. they vibrate too much unless you have it mounted to your head. the "anti viibration mount" they claim it has is not. throttle and road shake it horibly. I tried the $99.00 to the $499.00 version. they all record the same.

 

I found a $199 regular CF card camcorder works better had a far clearer picture and wrapped in a towel and bungiee corded to the rear rack aimed back. I simply lead the pack and then slow down and then speed back through. My wife will hold it for other shots...

 

none of the "sports cams" are worth a darn if you want clear video that is not shakey.

I have a three year old Samsung sports cam that has "anti shake" technology. I use a 3" RAM mount off of the right mirror base and try to place the lens right up against the windshield to help support it. The video is still a bit shaky, but I'm doing ride videos, not feature films. It'll do.

 

For someone who's not already doing video, anything may be better than nothing. At this point, I'm prepared to be a little bit more picky about the next camera I buy. On the other hand, as long as I can keep using this one I'll wait to see where the technology goes.
