I love it. I really can't say much other than it captures my adventurous, fast-paced moments well. I couldn't have asked or a better camera.

I recently purchased the Motorsports version directly from GoPro. This gadget (and the free Cineform editing software from GoPro's website) has a bit of a learning curve, but if you are reasonably tech-savvy you will figure it out quickly enough.
The first time I used the camera, I used the handlebar/seatpost accessory to mount it on a saddlebag guard rail on my motorcycle. Although I achieved a tight mount, the inner radius of the clamp did not exactly match the outer circumference of the bar... The result was excessive vibration and unusable video. On my second attempt I mounted the camera directly on the handlebars. Correct fit, better video quality, but still a little shaky. Harley Davidson bikes just have a fair amount of vibration- it's the nature of the beast.
Then I tried the suction cup mount and stuck the thing on my gas tank right behind the gas cap. SUCCESS. The rubber part of the suction cup acts as a vibration damper, and I got the video quality I was hoping for. The suction cup held fast at 70mph, and when I removed it from the bike, it left no mark on the tank's paint finish.
I also purchased the LCD Backpack accessory, which gives the camera a live view/playback capability. I feel this is must-have accessory. Maybe future generations of the camera will have this built in.
Transferring files from the camera to the computer is easy- connect the camera to your computer with the included USB cable, and your computer sees the camera as an extra storage drive. Then just copy the video or photo files to your computer's hard drive. Even faster transfer is achieved if you have a laptop with a built-in card reader slot.
I have not used the time lapse photography mode yet, so I can't report on that.
All in all, I am very happy with the results I've achieved so far. 4 out of 5 stars, only because I haven't explored all the camera's capabilities yes.
4/6/12 update; I'm thrilled with the results I'm getting with the HERO2. The suction cup mount is awesome- last week I mounted the cup on the SIDE of my H-D motorcycle's fuel tank and the thing held fast at 75mph. GoPro says it will hold fast at 150mph.
Some users are poo-pooing the free Cineform software available at GoPro's website. I think their problem is, they are trying to work outside of Cineform's designed workflow by taking the not ready for use .avi files and trying to edit them. Cineform provides for editing of the .avi and then EXPORTS to your harddrive as MP4.
I then take those MP4s into Windows Movie Maker and do whatever I want with them- clip, add music, wipes, captions, the whole 9 yards.
I like the HERO2 so much I'm thinking of getting a second one so I can get alternate views without having to pull over and reposition the camera.

I had wanted to get this for so long. Saw the first commercial back in 2010 and wanted it ever since. The $300 price tag kind of discourage me from getting it, until I saw it here for a much lower price. Obviously, I did my research and saw plenty of review for it on youtube and amazon, all the features, pros, cons and all that. But watching the videos of people actually using them and how amazing the quality was is what really sold me on it. I decided then that my life was too boring without this and I MUST HAVE IT!!! So I got it, the MotorSports edition to be precise, and instantly loved it. I loved the quality of the video and pictures. The menu system was very easy to figure out. I read through the manual a little bit but then started messing with the buttons and figured it all out in under 5 minutes. Low light performance when taking pictures does leave a little more to be desired. You have to be in well lit areas to take good, clear pics with them blurring or so. First thing I did was charge it of course, and I dunked the housing in water without the camera just to make sure that it was fully waterproof...it was. I also got the dive housing for it since I have seen a dozen videos showing the video quality contrast between the regular housing and dive housing underwater. Not sure why gopro couldn't make the regular housing give clear video under water, but the dive housing fixes that issue without forcing you to modify the regular housing yourself and voiding the warranty on it. The dive housing is excellent by the way. The suction cup works great, held on tight even through big bumps and potholes. I haven't used any of the adhesive mounts because I didn't want to waste them on my car. Another accessory I got was the gopole, very useful for recording yourself or going underwater with. I got the 3 foot extension and I really like it. Overall, I really like this camera, looking to do much more with in winter and next summer when I actually learn to swim. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a small, wearable, tough, underwater and all other condition camera.

The camera is good, but the video quality is not as nice as I was hoping. Very poor in low light, so make sure you shoot outside and on a sunny day. I recently ran into a problem of it stopping recording video and I am not sure why. The memory card still had a lot of space, so that remains a mystery.
Even despite its shortcomings, I still like it, although if you can spare a little extra cash, I would recommend springing for the Hero3.

I'll preface this by saying I'm not a filmmaker and aside from my iPhone 4s I have no experience with shooting video or pictures. So far I've found the GoPro camera to be very easy to use and very fun! I bought this camera specifically for 30 minute flight in a WWII B17 Flying Fortress that I just recently went on. I wanted something that took a nice wide angle shot, was HD, and that I could wear and therefore enjoy the experience of taking this flight and not have to be constantly snapping photos or holding a camera and trying to get "the shot". All I can say is I love this thing. The camera worked perfectly, I shot continuously for about 40 minutes with it in 1080p/30fps mode. I still have plenty of room on my 32GB SD card and the battery still has nearly a full charge.
The GoPro is a great buy, I highly recommend it.

Overall a great addition to the camera mix. I use it a lot - it's durable, does a good job for it's intended purpose. What more can you ask in a product? Well, maybe the ability to review the video without having to hook up to another device, or purchase a viewer. Other than that - two thumbs up.

I'm not going into any technical specs of this camera since I'm sure there's tons of it already on Amazon. What I will tell you is this:
The audio is horrible
The menus are almost too rudimentary to navigate and everything is in symbols like heiroglyphics
You have to buy microphones and backup batteries and special holding devices...just for simple video
Battery life at 720 x 60 fps is dismal
Video quality is great
Lack of zoom is bad
Overall, a very narrowly functioning camera. I wish I had spent the money on something with a screen, zoom and scrollable menus.

The camera worked fine until I upgraded the software per GoPro's site recommendation. These things "brick" once you do that. Google "gopro freeze after update" to read more but get the word out... DON'T update the software! GoPro won't fix this either so there's a class action law suit started since THEIR software update destroyed the camera's of tens of thousands of people.
UPDATE: Contacted the Better Business Bureau and they got GoPro to send me a new replacement camera . They will replace it no matter how long it has been since you bought it. Too bad it took this much effort but EVERYONE can now get a replacement camera shipped to then free if you ask.

Bought the Hero2 for scuba diving. Haven't used it there yet, but figured I'd better test it out on dry land first. Camera setup is really simple, scrolling through the buttons for functions takes a little practice but once you know what each does, it becomes straightforward. Bought the Hero2 in large part because of the multiple mounting systems included, particularly the head mount (for diving and not having my hand(s) occupied). Haed mount is REALLY secure, both in holding the camera and on the head. We'll see how it holds on a wetsuit hood, but my dry-demo seems to be GREAT. Buying the 32-gig memory chip is essential, as video takes up a LOT of memory. Shot about 20+ minutes which used more than a gig of data, so 3+ gigs/hour matches the 8-hour video claim for the Hero2. Download to my PC (using Windows Vista) was easy and straightforward, as was erasing from the chip. For viewing on your TV set, you'll need to buy separately the video/audio cable hookup (check Ebay), but that, too, worked out fine. The view through the lens is rather fish-eye, so you get a LOT of scenery, but the edge distortion is peculiar.

The Hero2 was a fun little device. Whether at Burningman or while lobster fishing it worked well. Then I bought the wifi backpack and was in the process of upgrading the camera firmware per the instructions and it failed. Now it's a brick. Apparently, this is a very common problem based upon articles I've read on the web.
I requested service and they had me try a couple of things. After that didn't work they told me that I would need to send it in. They issued me an RMA number and I sent it in from the post office 2 miles from the warehouse you ship them to in Riverside, ca.
That was the last I've heard from them. I've opened another case trying to find out what the status of my repair is.
I emailed the person that gave me the RMA number. No one will respond to my emails.
It's been more than two weeks since I sent it in and have heard nothing from them.
I was considering the Hero3 but based upon this experience, I will pass.
So, in closing, if you don't mess with it, it is a fun camera. If you try and upgrade the firmware and you brick it. Then sit down and wait. They might get back to you someday.
Update:
After opening a couple cases asking what happened to my camera I was told that it was shipped back to me on the first. I never received it. A few emails later I was told they were looking for tracking info. A week or so after that I received an email stating that it would arrive today. Looking at the tracking info it showed it was shipped last Friday (the 16th). It arrived today but unfortunately I left for T-giving vacation before it arrived. Hopefully it has the latest firmware installed in it.

2 stars since it was 5 stars when I first got it. :(
When I first got the camera it worked great. loved it, I was excited about the wifi connectivity option. Once I got the Wifi backpack, and did a firmware update I have had a lot more freezes, and the Wifi still doesn't work properly. No live video feed on the app. Gone through several firmware updates with varying degrees of usability. A friend hasn't been able to use his at all since the update.
GoPro needs to fix the firmware so that it works correctly. According to reviews the Hero 3 has the same issues, I will probably replace mine with Sony action cam rather than Hero3.

I am very frustrated over this product, what a let down. From the minute I plugged the thing in, nothing but problems. The first thing the manual does it point you to a firmware update page. You go to the page and it says its for the original hero, not the hero2. Did a little looking around and found the proper download. Install the software and go to do the firmware update, after a minute it says update failed. Tried several time, same result. Pulled battery tried again, nothing. Rebooted computer then ran it again finally it seemed to work.
Finally go to use the device and everything seems OK. Initially tested the 1080p video, I was expecting a little better quality video. Low light had a lot of noise. Next thing I tested was the time laps video. I live in Florida and wanted to capture the sunset. Set it up for a shot every 2 seconds. I let it go, and the red light blinks every 2 seconds as it should. Come back two hours later, red light still blinking every two seconds. I stop the recording and plug it into my computer. Nothing happens, no ding from Windows like you usually get when plugging in a USB device. Try again, nothing. I notice the buttons are no longer working and I cant go through the menus with the USB cable now unplugged. So I pulled the batter and put it back in, reconnected to the computer and it recognizes the device. Pull up the SD card files and there's only 10-15 minute worth of imaged. Needless to say but I was pissed.
Next day try again. Let it go for an hour. Come back, plug it in and same thing. Pull battery, replace, access files and about 10-15min worth of images yet again. So next I pulled the SD card and put it into a SanDisk card reader. I fully formatted (not quick), Fat32. Tried again, same process, same results. At this point I've filed for a replacement from Amazon. Until I get a working unit, I'll leave this review at 1 star.

This product is absolutely great! I am very picky when it comes to my camera selection, and so after a couple days of thorough research, I finally bought this camera. I got this camera, a few days later and I could not ask for a better action camera. This a camera is good for almost any outdoor activity I can think of, and has the superb GoPro quality, that the company always makes sure their products have. The mounting brackets, and all of its accessories are easy to install, and so far over the last couple months I have taken it on a wide range of activities from river rafting to long distance biking to sky- diving. Despite constant abuse however this product has not even been fazed, and still operates and and looks like its out of the box. I couldn't have asked for a better, more durable product, and I would recommend this to anyone.

I bought this camera a couple of weeks ago. I must say that I was extremely excited to receive it. However, EVERY single photo I took with this camera was blurry to the point that you couldn't even make out what or who the subject was. For video it was fine, as long as your subjects are up close- if they are a distance away you better count on not seeing them as there is no zoom. I knew this before hand but I still had high expectations due to all the positive reviews I read.
I wanted to get some cool action shots of friends skateboarding and underwater shots. I couldn't do either.
Also, before purchasing this camera I would make sure to buy the add on lcd viewfinder. Trying out the camera meant taking a few shots and video then uploading them to my mac just to see how they turned out. And that is an awful inconvenience.
I have sent this camera back. It didn't meet a single expectation for what it is supposed to do.

I was extremely disappointed in the gopro packaging. It came in a very worn box that appeared to be used. It had rips in the box that were taped. I am happy with the product but do not give it a higher rating because if I pay full price I do not expect to be sent one that looks as if the box has been used.

If you can find a HERO2, keep it! HERO3 is the next version of the GoPro family, but in reality, it sucks. GoPro tried to compensate the market by lowering the price on their HERO3 models, but I didn't bite. Just before HERO3 was introduced, the price for HERO2 dropped dramatically. Most people can find it for under $200. But right after the consumers are starting to report how buggy the HERO3 devices are, the overheating issues, the short battery life, the shutting off by itself just after 10 seconds of use, HERO2 prices shot back up again and retained their status as the version to keep in the GoPro family. I paid $334 for my GoPro HERO2 Outdoor Edition. And I was glad I did. I used it to document myself running my first full LA Marathon in 2013. Here is what I can say in a short and simple description: The quality of this cam is superb, it is light, the battery lasts somewhere around 4 hours. If you're into sport events and want to record your activities, I'd say get it with no hesitation. Stay away from HERO3.

They are f****ing awful, forget about changing settings quickly on the go, which should be easy considering it's an action camera. Once you get it functioning, it's quite good, comes with plenty accessories/mounts, and photos look great for such a little and durable camera!

While I know that I have seen what looks like this unit being used in several of the reality shows I watch-dirty jobs, swamp people etc., I was thoroughly disappointed in the quality of the product for the price. You can get a fully functioning video camcorder with the ability to grab shots for about the same price and it comes with a LCD to show what you're shooting, and buy a seperate generic house for it.
The unit come as stated without the LCD capability, you have to select the shooting type via the monochrome low-res pixel display on front. There is no standard mounting hole for mounting unit on a tripod or conventional made stuff in the industry.
I got the Motorsport vesion with the suction cup. All interlinked arms of unit, including the one that hold housing w/camera in the box was cracked at the point where the metal nut meets the plastic arm piece, in all 5 were cracked with only the suction cup piece not cracked, it's made of a different type of plastic.
I contacted the manufacturer via their web site and they promised a 24hr response time, to this date I have received no response.
As far as picture quality, it is pretty good, extremely wide angle and the video quality is good.
The unit, for something that is made to be used for extreme sports, is made of plastic. When I contacted company via the web they wanted the seiral number off unit, to do this I had to remove back cover, which is poorly made with just little tabs to hold it in places. Upon removing the cover the battery was hard to remove and I was scared of damaging housing in trying to remove it with small flathead screwdriver, not good if you have to swap battery in the field. Upon removing the battery the serial # was a sticker placed on the unit, and this area of the unit seemed wavy, not the sticker but the plastic housing.
I know the unit is made for fun and is suppose to be smallest video recorder in world, but I purchased a camera for about the same money, granted no rough and weather proof outside housing, but unit had LCD display, view finder, face recongnition, builtin Flash, standard mounting 1/4" hole and had a titanium housing.
I returned the unit because I figured if the mounting arms are that easy to brake, I don't think I would trust it to stay mounted while I use it for skiing, diving or other rough activities.
Nice idea, poor follow thru.

I bought this as a wedding gift for my now-husband and he loves it. He's used it snorkeling and on multiple fishing trips, as well as just for fooling around at home (i.e., putting it on the dog's back, etc., lol). It's very simple to use. He did buy the upgraded lens for underwater use which apparently gives underwater video a better quality. Wish it had come with the original package, but oh well.

Love this camera. Have taken it 60ft deep scuba diving, well below freezing snowboarding, dropped on the concrete, surfing, and strapped it to an AK 47. It has performed flawless, and captures some really awesome video. I'd buy another without hesitating.

This is possibly the most fun camera I've ever owned. I recently attached it to the end of a hockey stick and rollerbladed around the city with my friend's dog, taking high-frame rate footage of the dog sprinting everywhere. It made for great slow motion footage.
It takes great HD and wide angle videos in bright light settings, and pictures as well. I do have a few caveats, though, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars.
First, for indoor shots or shots in minimal lighting, the videos and pictures get kind of grainy. This is likely due to the automatic internal ISO settings, and the user has no control over that.
Second, the sound is pretty awful. If you're trying to capture people talking or animal noises, or any other defined audio, you'll need an external mic, which means you can't use the plastic casing.
Third, for underwater shots, they will be kind of cloudy unless you get an additional attachment for the lens.
Otherwise, I'm very impressed with the camera, and have used it a lot already.

This Hero2 model is brighter and a bit more crisp than the new Silver edition even though they both have the SAME guts and resolution specs, the H2 is cheaper, better and has less problems than the new H3 Silver, go figure...

Well, maybe great for some things, but basically sucks. My greatest issue was underwater. You would expect a camera capable of depths of 60 meters to take photos, even at a few feet for snorkeling. No, sorry. In their FAQ they say yes to 60M, but you don't see until you get the question on diving with the camera that pictures have "a slight loss of sharpness with underwater images." This translates into unusable pictures. A week's worth of unrepeatable photos snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef - wasted!!!
Yes, there is a fix to fuzzy underwater photos... Buy the diving case.... Why do we need another case when you already had a 60m case? Flat lens on front. Hero3 seems to have that out of the box, but Hero2 we are left scratching our heads thinking we have an underwater camera instead of a fuzzy boat anchor.
Ok, more issues. Basically horrible controls. Off, on, hard to use at that. Basically you need perfect lighting. Fixed aperture also meant that unrepeatable total solar eclipse movie also a waste of time and money. This issue also spoils most pictures and video with sun in foreground. With a wide angle lens, this is about half the time.
Software is just bad. Can't get cropping to work. Poor editing capabilities for color and exposure (mostly because of the poor quality video is poor to start with).
Maybe this is great for a few action sports in the right light, sucks for everything else.

Captures high definition video mounted on my helmet. Great dirt bike footage! Video is very clear and stable, even at high speeds.

I have the hero 2 and it was doing great, bought the LCD screen and updated the firmware and now the thing freezes all the time making it useless as I have to take the battery out to unfreeze exposing the camera at inopportune times like when rafting last week. The website isn't clear and you can see this issue in a bunch of online forums. For $300+ I shouldn't have to try to figure out how to load firmware onto my computer and reset and everything, total nightmare. I'm going to try customer service again to see if I can send it somewhere otherwise I'd suggest one of the other simpler cameras unless you want a science project

In less than a years time and less than 10 times underwater, the waterproof housing leaked. I have lost all the money I put into this and the warranty does not cover replacement for a leaking housing (because it could be due to user error). Well it wasn't (my dive instructor also tried sealing it and it did not seal), and I am not satisfied at all. Not sure who is to blame for selling me a defective item.
