Releasing new ones so often actually stops me from buying. I've already bought one and as soon as I did a new one came out the next year. Each year after after that has been a new one rendering the one before is almost obsolete. I'm not spending $400+ a year on helmet cams to have the best quality. Knowing another better will be out the next year I just don't buy one. and the cycle of not buying one continues over and over.

So sick of helmet cam videos I don't think I'll even buy a used one. Some are so bad they make me feel sick to my stomach.

Honestly the biggest value to me of everyone and their mom having a helmet cam is so I can see a tracks layout on YouTube I've never been to before. Helps me do a little homework before I ride a new track saving me a few laps of learning time.

I wonder how long the battery lasts if it's half the size.

I'm with ya on that one. I actually don't use mine much for "action" type shoots. I use mine more to get footage of my kids when we are playing in the pool and I do some time lapse shoots with them every now and then. I did one the other day with the venus/jupiter dealio.

Why do MX Sports let some riders use a"Fram" camera? Is it a prototype GoPro?

Exactly me too! I can't get enough of the helmet cams honestly. If it looks good on film , it'll look even better when you're riding there!

"the sound and image may be a little behind"

That cracks me up. Isn't that the sole purpose of a camera?
Depends on how far behind it is. It's not that far behind in my opinion. It's not like comparing a Polaroid to a GoPro. Some people are willing to sacrifice a few pixels and sound quality for better and wider viewing angles. I'm sure the 360 will improve just like GP has. Everyone I have shown the product to and videos too are blown away by the technology.

If 360 does gain any traction, I could see GoPro buying them, which is probably exactly what 360fly wants.
