Best Helmet Cam and where to buy?

[PowderSpecial]

Hey I am looking to purchase a helmet cam, been looking at the Go Pro HD Hero 960. Like the price and like the fact it's HD. What do you all use? And where is the best/cheapest place to get one? Also what size of SD Cards are ya using and how many pics/vids are you fitting on them?
Thanks alot!

You can check out the GoPro HD 960 at: http://www.snowbigdeal.com/servlet/the-533/GoPro-HD-HERO-960/Detail

With a 32GB card and recording at 960p (30 fps) you should get approximately 5h 26m. With an 8GB card, you should be able to get a little over 1 hr.

I'm also looking for the same camera, but am from Canada, the cheapest I've seen so far is a little over 400$ with the motocross style kit, plus you get an extra battery and SD card. If anybody has seen or heard of a cheaper place, please post, saw a video made by a guy on here the other day and it was awesome. i might try searching ebay...

I just got one of these, video quality makes the go pro look sick. Used it at about -15 the other day and it never missed a beat. Get the external mike n mount it in your helmet so you don't get wind noise n ur good to go. 1080p anyone?

I just bought a Contour HD and I love it. Running a 16G sd card and i can get about 90min of 1080p vid. The only thing with the contour is you need to buy a waterproof case for it, and maybe a second battery.

no waterproof case needed for the snow

Although the option to use under water is great!

shot this in Kona with the contour 1080hd in the waterproof case

guess its time for me to take up diving then

Tudizzle....

What depth is that water case good for? I already have that camera and fins so maybe the case will give me some good diving material.

Not sure what its rated for but I took it down about 25-30 feet without any problem.

Kids love playing in the pool with it too.
