GoPro Night testing

Lazy cruise up Palomar.

GoPro HD Hero wide angle
720p @ 30 fps

Video with the G in front of me wasn't very pretty... this one is grainy, but not TOO bad...

<object width="853" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NC5YRi4SSeQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NC5YRi4SSeQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="505"></embed></object>


Verdict: Do not use at night.

one thing to note, 1 sec of video ~ 1 MB at 720Px30fps. At least at night.

Video quality isn't the best, but I've been trying a lot of cameras, and in-car, this is by far the best for the price in the "readily available" category.

Forged has them for 299 shipped.
