testing out the "gopro"

braden picked up a go pro so we just hooked it on the truck and drove around

(check out the axlewrap / wheel hop on the bridge need some trac bars)

the 2 little gravel burnouts were 2nd gear leaving at 5psi

look forwards to new vids trying different angles and settings

I ordered the GoPro HD Hero2 last Sunday.
  • Professional 11 MP sensor,Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista, 7 and Later, Mac OS x 10.5 and Later
  • Professional low light performance,1-Year Limited Warranty
  • Full 170º, Medium 127º, Narrow 90º FOV in 1080p
  • 120 fps WVGA, 60 fps 720p, 48 fps 960p, 30 fps 1080p Video
  • Ten 11 MP photos per second burst, one 11 MP photo every 0.5 sec in Timelapse Mode


$199.00 from Amazon then.
Today it's $253.99 there.
It's crazy how the price bounces around.
It sells for $299.99 at Academy Sports here in town.

I'm not sure just how much I will record.
I do know that I will be documenting some work runs.
This is the one that convinced me to get it: Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - View Single Post - The Birds Nest

Update:
I have a GoPro Hero2.
I bought it from Amazon.
The current ad for Academy Sports has them for $179.99 with a 8gb SD card included.
I've added the wifi bacpac combo that I purchased from GoPro directly.
It included the remote.
$96 and change taxed and shipped.
I set up the smartphone app last night.
I'm in awe of the technology that this system represents.
