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.
Picked up one day before yesterday and used it for the first time @ Butternut.

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