My only problem with these cameras is the quality of the videos suck. Had to check a few times if it was actually is 1080p, looks like 480p. Hopefully the next version of these cameras have way better quality, or maybe it's just the GoPro? Thought the fly looked a little fuzzy too.
EhI could be wrong, to much political crap, but if they can get away with doing this for a POV camera what is next, maybe during SX they will start bluring out now championship sponsors logos on riders and bikes.

How popular was that.
Going by this Monster would have been better off just saying not one can wear or promote another energy drink.
People seem to be OK with this contract due to it being a POV camera company. What if it was exteneded to something like race wear or Helmets, Googles, boots.
Yes by all accounts the contract is legal and can be inforced, that does not make it right. or the best thing for the sport / riders / teams trying to make a dollar to go racing.
How would the photographers at the track feel if Nikon coughed up some money to be the offical camera gear of the series and only Nikon cameras could be used to capture any photographs at the events.
On that subject, GuyB, when you guys produce your "ONE LAP" articles on Press day, do they have to be recorded using a Go-Pro? or because it is press day can you use what you want.
If it is restricted to only using a Go-Pro, does it restrict the riders that can be approched due to conflicting sponsors?
What GoPro are doing is effectively the same as the technology and method pioneered in the first matrix movie–"bullet-time"–The Fly camera works like quicktime QR rendering, a single source capturing a wider field.
oh and who were the fans who floded their inbox, im sure there were literally , figuratively "millions " of them. right.
Collin Kapernick was fined because he shows up to games wearing Beats headphones when the league has a deal with Bose.

Whats next? ONLY Lucas oil can be used at the Nationals?
Only Amsoil can be used at all Loretta Lynns races?
If Moto Hose become a sponsor can we demand only our hoses get used by all competitors?
MXSports isn't their problem but gets them more attention.
We'll see how they do against the hard hitters when the contracts are up.

The GoPro deal has been in place for years, back before they were any other POV cameras in the space, so it was made exclusive, in both SX and MX. Chad's deal was announced three days ago, and now he's threatening to quit the series unless we break a pre-existing deal with our own longterm series sponsor who has helped make the TV packages and live-streaming a reality (and why Discount Tire and Monster Energy and Shift and all of Chad's other sponsors support him in the series, and i'm guessing part of the reason why Fly360 wants to sponsor him now).
This is complicated matter, and we will try to work through it, and hopefully see Chad continue at the races this summer.

Chads agent should have known the stipulation with the GoPro deal.
Chad should have also known that.
Either way, the camera is getting talked about.
I am betting Chad will be at the rest of the nationals. He has other sponsors that have paid him money to show up, unless his Fly 360 camera deal is worth more than all of his other sponsor deals combined, he would be a fool to sit home.
