In my experience, we have been seeing 10 minutes of recording per GB. I'll be interested to hear what AimCOtaco says. YMMV.
Also, that video needs more mudflap.
It depends on the chosen resolution but IIRC that one was at 960p / 48fps and the original video was 13m:37s long and 1.51GB (i cropped out the part where I sat forever waiting for an Explorer that never made it up the hill I was waiting to come down and had previously been up) so pretty close to 1GB/10min.
The gopro is a blast, tied it to a kite last night with my daughter and flew it Ben Franklin style into a storm (before the lightening started). Kite lifted it no problem but the wind was a little over the kites rating and I was worried about breaking the string and loosing the GOPRO. The camera was just hanging and got flipped all over the place so the vid will make you hurl but I grabbed a few cool stills... more of this fun to follow for sure. Endless fun, chased fish around the fish tank, working on a dog mount, can't wait for some whitewater and motorcycle opportunities, etc... Fun Toy!

Sounds like a reference to "cowbell"

Hopefully it will arrive this week in time for some weekend 4WDing! I'll be sure to post the videos here !

GoPro footage on the Gold Coast Australia

Do you need to mount it with the plastic cover ?

mooooooooooooooooooooooo,
It is always mounted in the clear plastic housing, all the mounts use the housing (if that is your question). The camera itself is just a cube.
Have a blast, congrats on the buy, looking forward to more Australian footage!
Anybody tried mounting atop the side mirror? I figure it's a good FOV, easy to control, harder to loose (notice when gone) and it will pick up more engine/tire noise and less of my rambling commentary. Oh, and reduced windshield glare.
OK, I'm off to find some more mudflap/cowbell!?

would be cooler mounted to one of these Video Camera Mounts - Horizon True - Camera Mounts and Waterproof Video Cameras
cool. So the audio recording "just works"?? If so, you're gonna love my V8 with it;s performance exhaust system!!

How so? I see it's a stabilizing mount for a boat and therefore costs a s*** load (a lot more than my camera with mount cost).
I actually prefer the cam to follow the vehicle and with off road impacts I don't think the hydraulic stab. would do much... probably great on nice rolling waves while sailing however.
It has a built in mic that is so so (good for engines and chat, not music). You can capture audio if you use the perforated housing cover which is obviously not waterproof.
Were killing this thread with chat so here is some desert, with a 70 series encounter at the end (not super exciting but fast, audio remove to spare you my babble with passengers):
I was being a little facetious about the mount. I think it'd be cool to have a self leveling mount so you could have a little different perspective for off camber situations. I'm thinking about trying to build one.
Now your talkin'! That could be some fun.
I like boats and watersports but if it's for a boat it costs a ton!
Here's my first GoPro HD Hero2 on YouTube recorded this afternoon.
It has the stock settings, so i'll change that tonight. Let me know what you think!!

Very nice, great sound you have coming from your cruiser. My thoughts on your vid are that you struggle to get any perspective on the trail, you cant tell if you going up or down or what lies ahead. If its an open trail then i think the side mount idea is great but for closed in trails then perhaps a bonnet mount or roof mount would be better in my eyes.

Thanks for that. I actually wanted to hear how the V8 sounded outside which is why I mounted it there.
Also the camera is set to the factory settings so I'll change those. I'll be back up there tomorrow and mount it either on the bonnet/hood or inside on the windscreen.

here's an unedited one where you get to see my beautiful self!!
it's "unlisted" on YouTube for now which means only people with the link get to see it.
So that's anyone here, and i've also posted it to G+ (Google Plus)
Enjoy!
(crank up the volume too!!)
