I guess then you could use the bigger 32MB chip and not run dry.

I order the battery but have not got time to get mine working all the time. Seems like it down loads all the data but then only plays every other movie. Have to put the GF on it.

They are great! May try tomorrow as I want to go into the ocean in my kayak on Saturday for some good film. I would hate to get into some good water and not get a vid.

John, when in your car can't you just hook it up to the 12v outlet?

Yes! Biggest problem is getting in the car if I ever finish it. I think I want to mount it on my head so the camera goes where I look.

I will use it on the kayak in the ocean and bay and on a trip so bigger battery will be good there.

I ran my video camera off the cars power.

Are you thinking off of the right side of the helmet? I just got my camera yesterday and at 1080 it has quite a wide range and height. It is going to take some playing with to get it right.

Now, kayaking in the ocean You are a better man than me!

I'm rollbar mounting mine, and ordered the battery today. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZU3Hu3YDj8 to see the sample. I did upload it at 1080P if you're willing to wait on the download. I also ordered a skeleton case for next weekend to see if the sound is better.

I have a drysuit as the water is about 37 degrees. If it is over 2-3' seas I won't be in the ocean this time of year. I'll stay in the bays here. I need a lot more experience at it. Something like this is ok http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USvIfNShxzI this is probably gopro too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44A5l...eature=related

Years above my ability and probably never. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fftJUKvcBA I'll take the rough water but not the rocks as I advance.

I was thinking the side of the helmet but I am not sure if they even allow it at a hpde. I could mount it on my 4 point bar. I need to get car together and then take it out and see how the field of vision would be from the bar.
