I had this whole thing typed out about why it was so good.... I'll just let that video explain how awesome it is. Search Amazon.com for the cheapest prices. The Camera is from GoPRO. The entire video was filmed using them.

IMHO GoPro is the best. I have the GoPro 2 and I love it.  Before I bought mine I searched  around for the best price and I found the price to be the same just about every where.

Best Buy carries GoPro and just about all accessories they make.  The GoPro Hero HD runs about $ 100.00 cheaper then the GoPro Hero 2 HD which sells for $ 299.00 but is well worth the extra hundred.

I did find some a little cheaper on Ebay but after paying for shipping it worked out to be the same price.

Go pro hero 2 is $299 at best buy and you can buy an extended warrant for a few buck more.  The thing shoots outstanding video as you can in the friggin awesome video of the flying man! :ThumbsUp.gif :ThumbsUp.gif :ThumbsUp.gif

I have found i get the best video when i have it mounted on my helmet. I have my on the side.. Seeing the helmet in the video isn't the greatest but i am afraid i would get it knocked off while riding in the woods.
