We know they wont allow Honda to wear their sponsors cameras during SX because GoPro has the exclusive sponsorship or whatever crap they say. Is it the same outdoors? I didnt see any other cameras on any helmets through the broadcasts of hangtown.

Anyone have any info on whether or not they are allowed to run the monopoly for outdoors as well?

I think the better question is where are the GoPro remixes those guys used to do? I always looked forward to them... Am I somehow missing them??

Am I the only one who thinks that the beauty of a bike & rider in motion is ruined by the goofy square box protruding from the top of their helmet? It is almost as bad as the yellow stakes mucking up a potentially beautiful moto photo.

I don't mind it as long as they keep showing the complete motos.

I don't think the new camera's can do a full Moto. If they can it would be close. They don't stop for a baterey swap. LOL

The Hero 3 battery can't last 35 minutes?


Anyone else think Go Pro is getting to big and cocky?

isn't that the American Dream ?

invent a product or service, go to market and dominate.

Congrats to Go-Pro for getting it done.

I use my roommates all the time and even with the "always on if the camera is on" lcd display screen add-on it lasts for way longer than 35 minutes. LOL.

Isn't battery life around 2 - 3hrs with these things? I know a buddy who posts on here that rides with one and he said he gets close to 3hrs of video out of one charge. It should be able to do a 35min moto without breaking a sweat.
