Im ordering a few Go Pro HD Heros. $250each anyone else want one?

[Rich]

Im ordering a few Go Pro HD Heros as seen on their website:

http://www.goprocamera.com/products/hd-motorsports-hero-camera.php

This is the HD version, wide angle lens, all the mounts etc etc.

Ive already met the MOQ for this price, $250 each (RRP$300) so there is no minimum number of people required. If you want one let me know. Ill pm you bank details. Im ordering them next week so transfers have to be made by Friday. Its that simple.

Depending how many we order postage will be $5-$10 on top.

[monk_13]

Yeah why not? Was gonna wait till after xmas.... Pm details through Rich.

[Rich]

to avoid getting stung by customs im going to have them sent a few at a time. which means we wont save on bulk postage so make it $250 plus $10 for postage.

[Kilma]

Highly recommend these. I had the SD one and it was brilliant. The suction cup in the motorsports kit had no issues holding onto the bike at 200km/h+. The sticky mounts are also nothing short of brilliant.

JUST MAKE SURE IT IS PUT ON PROPERLY!! Have heard of a few people who didn't, camera fell off their car and then they ran over it.

[regi]

also keen

[Turbo2.6L]

PM bank details please Rich :D

[DISTRBD]

[Rich]

[DWRacing]

[Rich]

Serious? I might have to give them a call and see what price they will do them for.

[Reverb]

Keen as well, least us know your details.

I wouldn't try using less than a class 6 SDHC either.
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/ has some pretty cheap deals on SDHC cards if you wanted to do a group buy.

[mod]

http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=sdhc+class+10+32gb&spos=1

price for most 32gb class 10 avail in Aus,
pick one and go from there but they might not have it in stock.

[Rich]

payments received from:mod, deano, protecon, reverb, turbo4L and Regi.

I will back this up, had it on many drag cars, even a tyre shaking six second altered and it hung on :)

[protecon]

Any idea when you're going to place the order for these?

[Rich]

I'm ordering them tomorrow.

[Rich]

[Turbo2.6L]

+1

I have noticed freight being particularly slow this Xmas :/

[Rich]

had to wait for them to get more stock in, spoke to them this morning and they should be on there way this week.

[AusZXxx]

Bought a GoPro in manhattan a few weeks ago to use playing ice hockey....absolutely awesome piece of kit. I'm sure you'll all have a blast with them!

[Rich]

update. they had some in stock which were sent straight away and should arrive early next week. They ordered more from Go Pro to fill my order, but Go Pro sent the wrong ones. Had to wait for Go Pro to resend the correct ones. Im still hoping the rest will arrive before the end of next week in time for those that want them for MV but I cannot confirm unfortunately. To keep it fair ill give them out in the order that payments were received. So the first 6 will go to:

1. Monk_13
2. Frostitute
3. Protecon
4. Mod
5. Turbo4L
6. Deano

[monk_13]

If they arrive Monday or Tuesday I'll be able to pick it up Rich. Otherwise will have to hold off until I fly home on the 26th.

[rat]

Ah shit, cant believe I didnt see this thread earlier!
Just yesterday I payed $280 for mine on Ebay coming from the US...

I did alot of research and have seen these in action and they are awesome! Cant wait!

[Rich]

tracking says late monday. so should be here by tuesday.

[Fujiwara13]

So just to confirm, I think I was ~15th. Does that include me in the 'hoping for the end of next week' category?

[Rich]

bad news. wont be seeing the second shipment until after motorvation. sorry guys.

[s1mon]

Bugger, that does suck

[Rich]

yeah not happy. sorry guys. if any of the guys in the list above arent planning on using theirs for a couple weeks and want to give up theirs from the first shipment to someone who needs it for MV let me know.

[deano]

Yeah i'll give up mine since i wont be at MV this year.

[s1mon]

Im easy Fetish, appreciate the effort mate

[protecon]

I'll need mine for the weekend of the 15th (get home this Monday) so I'm keen to pick mine up. Cheers.

[BassMstr]

That is from a supplier i use all the time. I'm about to order 4 cards for myself.

Will check with them now about cost for airbag them by weekend if needed.

Team make a heap of memory related products and are well known for there RAM.

[WRCjosh]

guys, im an authorized dealer of go pro... if you have dramas, give me a shout, i will do deals.

[mod]

I got my off deal extreme
Transcend SDHC Memory Card - 32GB (Class 10)
For $60 + free delivery, been posted yet to arive at my home

[Rich]

checking the tracking on the remaining go pros. it says they will be here Friday. Im going to be flat out friday getting stuff down to the motorplex so unless anyone desperately needs theirs for this weekend Ill pick them up next week.

[mod]

anyone tested their camera yet?
getting bad sound quality lots of wind with both the water proof cover on/off
am recording it on 720p @ 30fps - tho i think it might be my shitty SD card class 2, 4 gig lol
still waiting on my class 10 32gig

[Rich]

I'm using a class 10 16gb at Motorvation and I'm getting some wind noise too.

[tinto]

That is just how it is with the GoPros so far.
I was thinking about trying to stuff some shredded cotton buds around the mic, but they are built with very little room for that sort of stuff.

[mod]

Ok thats fine, the pic quality even at 720p is really good

Whats video editing programs do people use pref free if not torrent it lol

[Reverb]

Sony Vegas

[AusZXxx]

My latest hockey vid using the gopro.

http://www.vimeo.com/18811286

I also use sony vegas primarily.

absolutely loving this camera. Going to use it to shoot a lot more games in future. Also want to timelapse a full game and see how it looks. Timelapsed a house party last night and its pretty funny to watch back 3-4 hours worth in 30seconds.

[Rich]

the rest of the go pros have arrived. im busy the next couple nights. should be able to do pick ups from Rivervale thursday night. someone remind me and ill shoot out some pm's with details.

[Rich]

if you are available today come and pick up your go pro. Ill pm details.

for those that have asked me if they can order more. the answer is yes. ill organise some more over the next couple of weeks. stayed tuned for details.
