Default anyone used GoPro Hero wideangle camera?

Trackdaze are offering it at a slightly reduced price if you order before April 5

Just wondering if it works well for in-car video purposes.

Yeah thats the only draw back. You can play with it some but not much. I video a race with me and two mustangs ill have to try and but up. The sound is a little better on it. Ill try to put some video up in the daylight too.

I just ordered one for making motorcycle vids. I have a 3 pod sticky mount for the car and also a lipstick camera for that.

I read that you have to have this in the right sound setting for what you are filming. LO for out of car/motorcycle, helmet etc to keep wind buffeting down. For $160 shipped it seems legit. I'll update with vids and review. Also it works best with Energizer Lithium under extreme cornering/braking it can cut out with regular or rechargeable batteries.

Yeah there is a wind setting. I had it on with the video. I got it turned off now for the in car shots. It eats through batteries if you dont use the lithiums.
