GoPro Videos on the FZ8

[trixster8]

Here are a couple videos I've been messing around with. Bought a GoPro Hero HD camcorder and tried mounting it in a couple different places. So far, I've been very impressed with the quality of video feedback straight from the SD card in the camera. But once I try editing the video with Windows Live Movie Maker, I loose some of the quality. Anyway, here's what I've done so far.

awesome camers, been looking at this since last year for my dirt adventures, now that I have the streetbike it may justify the price. What version did you get and how do you mount it?

I got the GoPro Hero HD motorsports kit. So far it's been awsome, been shooting at 720p 60fps. It can shoot at 1080p, but only 30fps. I also bought the bar clamp mount, which doesn't come with the motorsports kit. I've been trying different mounts, suction cupped to the tank, clamped to the passenger peg bracket, clamped to the handle bars, clamped to the forks (custom made clamp). The key is to get it mounted tight, with very little movement.

I'm also plan on using it on my 400ex and snowboard helmet.
