Gopro GWH5170 5 Megapixel 170 Degree Lens Camera with Housing
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.
this is a high quality camera to use on your motorcycle or any vehicle, works really well
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.
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.
Picture quality is good. Use is not intuitive. Instructions are lacking in clarity and organzation. I discovered I can power it off its proprietary USB mini cable and a car lighter adapter purchased from another vendor online. The drawback is it must be removed it from protective clear box or else drill a hole in box. The USB cable is bundled with the RCA cables. A ferrite bead filter is molded in which dissallows seporation. Can not set time or date. GoPro promised firmware update for 4GB memory capability and has not delivered to date – April 09. Automatic memory overwrite feature would be a big plus. I saw it avertised for significantly less one week after I purchased it. Not thrilled, but not dissappointed either.
