The video I posted last week was done with a go pro. They are a bit power
hungry requiring a new set of lithium batteries every 40 -50 minutes.
They use standard SD cards.
It cut off for some reason with one or two laps to go in the Kastner Cup.
I've had pretty good luck overall but the sound isn't very good if the
camera is in the wind. I'm going with the chase cam next year because I
already have the traqmate. I have a second HD camcorder I use sometimes to
the rear and sometimes on my instruments. The sound is poor on that one too
even with baffling over the mic. I don't have a port for a remote mic which
would solve that problem. Here's the link again, you can judge the video &
sound quality for yourself.

Alison has a question for those of you using video cameras.
She wants to get me a video camera that we can swap between my 3 and dad's
4. We have been looking at the GoPro cameras.
Questions:
What are the advantages of going with the latest $300 hi-def version over
the $149 standard definition?
Do you have to buy GoPro's SD cards or can you buy them at your favorite
tech store?
Would also like opinions regarding wide (170 degree) vs standard lens.
Thanks in advance.
Greg
