Very cool. Too bad there isnt a wireless audio option. I'd use this at work!

I just bought a silver edition hero pro 3. You can access the camera from your smart phone, and also turn it off and on through your phone. its super sweet

Darren you can have mine when I am dead. I want to mount one facing me and play it at my funeral.
I can hear the wife now, "look at the look on his face. He was really enjoying his last ride."

No one will care to see a movie of your funeral. Unless you can rise from the dead sit up in your casket & do a Linda Blair.

Burt you will not be invited to my funeral. Invite only. I was giving away all my Marauders at it.

I have the Hero 2 combined with the wifi backpack so I don't need to get out of the car to turn the camera off and start recording. I also like using the handlebar/seat post mounts to attach it to my swaybar. Makes for an interesting angle that I'm sure not many people have
