Still waiting for the item. It has been over 8 days and it has not arrived. Would rather buy this at Pep Boys for $199, if I knew it was going to take this long.

Overall, the GoPro Wide HERO camera was easy to use, worked well and captured good video and pics. Despite minor complaints about the mounting brackets for the handlebar and subpar audio, there’s really nothing not to like about it. We’d recommend it highly, and it’s a bargain compared to some other sports/helmet cams on the market. There are other options with more features and higher quality video, but the prices jump more than tw0-fold. For general cycling antics, the Wide HERO is a great camera, and the wide-angle lens helps add to the visual experience without distracting from the central image. A couple of our friends use this same model for motocross and love it, and we think you’ll love it, too. Read the full review here: [...]

This product is outstanding, the vibration canceling effects are second to none. It takes a little getting use to the small icons in the front but other than that there are no problems with this product. Put it anywhere on the car and enjoy the footage later.

Good quality, love the wide angle.
Biggest hassles are: 1) Battery drain. Even with brand new lithiums, only good for a couple of hrs of use at most. Less if you leave the battery in the camera (not sure why, but camera continues to drain battery even if off). My commute is 45 minutes, I have to recharge batteries after every use. Ridiculous.
2) Limited to 2gb SD. This is silly, as the camera is a memory hog.
Note to Manufacturers out there: If I could find another wide angle camera that doesn’t have these two limits, I’d throw this one in the trash and buy it.
