Questioning how one mounts it correctly to the seat tube, I emailed GoPro from their website explaining what happened and asking what I could do to not have it happen again. I didn't ask for any type of replacement parts as it, as mentioned above, was 100% my fault for mounting it incorrectly. Jakob, GoPro support specialist, emailed me back saying to mount the camera upside down to relieve the strain on the mounts and asked me to send in a picture of the damaged/broken parts plus my mailing address. He sent out a replacement mount and a new lens kit for my GoPro at no additional charge to me.
Simple customer service story and he didn't have to offer anything but the advice. But, he turned this GoPro fan into a RAVING GoPro fan!!
I carefully prepped and cleaned my smooth and flat surface. I mean REALLY cleaned it. And I dried it. And I cleaned and dried it again. I mounted the adhesive mount, pressed it on with all my significant weight, and I let it set a good 18 hours.
3 turns on my snowboard was all it took for the mount to fail and the camera to disappear to who knows where. No crashes, no bumps, no impacts, just 3 turns and this very expensive camera AND the 32GB class 10 card I had in it were gone, never to be seen again.
Although advertised as an active sport camera, the mounts are obviously not up to task. if you want this camera (or the hero3), don't trust the mounts. Treat it with kid gloves, or you too will be lamenting the disappearance of a very expensive toy.
Get the flat-lens dive housing if you're going under water with it though... the curved lens regular housing gives you very foggy results under water.
For my own sports, in addition to biking, I love mounting the GoPro to my kayak, fishing boat and the OUTSIDE of my Prius V (with a Ram mount suction cup). As a photo enthusiast who owns various "L" lenses, including a 500mm, as well as Gimbel mounts, I love the portability of the GoPro. Now I can be IN the action instead of just filming others. See the pics included of my GoPro mount.
I bought this camera for filming on my bike and mounted it with the separately sold Handlebar Mount right in the center of the handlebar. The camera is great and fulfilled my expectations, even the photos come out good (which I didn't expect from a video camera and after reading many negative comments on the photo function.) I don't like the Handlebar Mount as it keeps moving no matter how hard I tighten the screws, just read the negative reviews on Amazon about this mount. Anyway, the camera itself deserves five stars.
The test video was shot in Bogota (Colombia) using the Handlebar Mount and recording at 1080p 30fps, then converted to 480p 30fps @4000 kbps for upload on Amazon.
I didn't want to spend extra money on the separately available screen. In order to get my bike computer exactly into the corner of the test video, I had to make a few test recordings which I checked at my computer. In my case that wouldn't justify the purchase of an extra screen.
Battery life is good. I never record more than one hour (@1080p) and the battery status would still show two of three bars. If I ever needed longer battery life, rather than buying an extra battery I would simply connect the camera to a USB charger that runs on 4 AA batteries, since the camera is able to record while being charged over its USB port.
There is a learning curve for using just two buttons to control the many functions and menu settings, but you will get used to it by using it.
Battery life not the best, so buy spares if you're doing extended filming.
"Auto Off" on mine was set to 'Never' which you can change. "Never' is OK but if you space out and forget about it the camera stays on and drains battery. Best to set it to One Minute unless you need it to stay powered up for time lapses, which it also does very well.
Quality for the price = this can not be beat.
If the button pressed too long it flipped to photo shoot mode and capture photo not video when I only can find it after the event happen.
What is the point of having one button do all things when most people would use it as a video camera?
Why gopro doesn't have dedicated video record button?
Now I hate this thing and would not recommend to people.
I am having problems getting warranty work because of this. The camera appears to be a refurbished. I am trying to work through GoPro... but, my recommendation is to not buy anything from DBROTH. Having second thoughts of buying anything more from Amazon.

Less than 2 weeks after buying the whole kit ($575) GoPro came out with Hero 3. The sales manager at GoPro (Nelson) said Sorry "we did not know until the day before". This stinks of GoPro price gouging customers right up until the last minute. Even Apple doesn't do that!!
So beware GoPro should not be trusted to do the right thing. I found out to my cost that Hero 3 is not compatible with Hero 2, leaving me me some very expensive plastic. Skeevy.....................
You can feel like your heroes. In the snow or in the water, filming your stunts and playing with your kids.
Definitely recommend getting the LCD display.
Video quality is amazing and a blast to watch. It is a real eye opener to see how one drives in a third eye perspective.
With so many crazy drivers on the road, it is an insurance and added peace of mind allowing more than mere words (he/she said) to describe the moment.
I was planning to just use it in the automobile, but now after seeing how it works, I will use it in many more applications ... esp. while traveling overseas.
I have included a video of footage from this camera to make a point. This is a great camera! Unfortunately, the Amazon footage doesn't do justice to the quality that this camera shoots. (for a little better, search "YouTube for Deal's Gap / Dragon's Tail Run - Entire 11 Miles - GoPro Bumper Camera")
Why did I include the footage then? To prove that this is the perfect camera for motorsports. This camera is mounted 6" above the ground on a small mount thats attached to a non-visible area inside the radiator intake on my bumper. The included mount is removable so only the non-visible sticky mount remains when not in use. I don't know of any other camera that can do that so excellently. I have it tethered to the car in case it falls off, but it never has.
Which brings me to the real point of this camera. Can you get better quality footage? Yes. Can you get smaller cameras? probably. BUT this one is only $300. This camera is great because you don't have to worry when you put this camera in harm's way. That's what it's designed for. 99% of the time, they come back just fine. However, if one gets destroyed, it's much better than your Rebel.
On the Hero 2 vs 1: The differences between this and the Hero1 make this worthwhile. It does get better dark footage, but still don't plan on shooting headlights only. The one time I tried that I could see the road that the headlights hit, other car's taillights and nothing else.
The on-camera interface is improved as well. You can easily navigate through the menus without memorizing a bunch of stuff from the manual.
5/5 stars. Buy one. I'm seriously considering a second.
Updated firmware - still locks up
Replaced the SD card with another Sandisk class 10 card - still randomly locks up.
You have to remove the battery to start again - only to randomly lock up.
Don't waste your money on this product - pretty frustrating.
I have been editing out all the "Is the red light on" comments to co-hikers. I wish there was an easier way to make sure the camera is ON. Battery died out a couple times after a short time. Perhaps because I had charged them and didn't use for a while? After I charged over night the next day they worked fine.
I will love this camera when I am out riding my bike in the spring, I'm sure!
