Default Any GOPRO HeroHD or HeroHD2 owners?

Does anyone have one? I want to get one for recording tones and driving the mountain roads to truly see my style.

If you do have one does the 3M tape mounts actually hold up to 100MPH?
Don't want to spend $300 and have it fly off!

I'm in a local car club, and alot of my buddies have one. I can definetly testify that they've held up to 90mph maybe higher. we go on long cruises in the mountains so it involves alot of sliding around corners and alot of straight ways.


see if this linky works of me in a cruise. it was on my buddies teggy. (PS: its uber slow to load in the begining)

That 3m tape is amazing, I've seen video of it holding up better than rivets.

I've only taken two test videos on my GP HD Hero2 and the image is pretty sweet. If you can, go for the newest version. You get double the pixels and from what I've read, the controls are easier to use too. They'll also be coming out with a bluetooth adapter so you can use a remote.

I saw all that coming out, I'm trying to see if I can get a pro-deal with them. I want the LCD backing and the remote would be sick as well.
