Great little camera. Comes with:

Suction cup mount

3m stick mount with quick release pins. Comes with three sticky mounts. I've seen them used on helmets, bumpers, roll bars, etc. I have one on my helmet and it won't come off without serious and I mean serious prying.

USB and video cable

Video camera

Batteries ( I suggest buying really good batteries for it. It does seem to drain them quickly)

 

Performance:

30FPS and will hold 56 minutes of video on your 2gig SD card.

Resolution 513x384 at 30fps

Auto exposure and can be used as a camera with a 10 second timer included.

3megapixel camera also

super lightweight.

 

Here are some videos taken from camera. http://gopro.vsocial.com/

 

The only downfall to the camera I have seen is it's need for light and sound quality. It is in a waterproof container so the sound can be a bit muffled. What I did on another camera was drill a hole in the back of the container so that sound could be better heard. It loses it's waterproof to a hundred feet, but it still keeps off the race crud. As long as you point it outside, the lighting is fine. I just wasn't happy with it when I tested it inside at a go-kart event. It was a little dark which made the image look pixely. Outside it's fine as seen in the videos above.

 

Retail $179

Brand new in box $165 shipped to CONUS.

You can't beat a camera WITH a mount for that price. Plus you use an SD card (Not included but $18 at Best Buy) so you can put your video's on Youtube, or burn them to a DVD for home use. Very quick and versatile.

I've got one of these - good little camera but has to be used outside as indoor lighting is too low.

Sorry for the delay, I didn't check back here.

It is still for sale. Jaje is correct, it works best in outdoor lighting. I just used one yesterday for a Lexus event for their new IS-F and we got great footage for them using it. Pretty cool.
