OK the Gopros came in today. Excellent that they have a bunch of helmet mounts included in the $129.99 price.

I can see using it for biking but now I've got to decide if it's cool for an old guy like me to have a camera mounted to the top of my head when skiing ? Especially when I'm not into big air anymore.
Most skiers/boarders I see with helmet cams are kids in the parks.

No, the answer is no. Do not become a tele-tubby more concerned with your cinematography than the location of other skiers around you. Tele-tubbies are approaching the top of my list of skiers / boarders to be avoided at all costs because they are inherently dangerous.

lol, I've never had anyone call me a tele-tubbie before. That's a great word for distracted skiers/boarders isn't it. We'll probably see a few this year texting too as their cameras roll.

Resolution was 960 30fps I think...and I used the headband mount as I don't wear a helmet.:confused:

Ditto for us with the headband mount. Seemed to work ok, got a bit of a headache to be honest. Post some pics and vids later
