Oh My God! This is even worse than VA's Cyclegear 2 Hour Only Sale last week!!! I hope this one sticks around at least another week. Thanks for the post Eric.

No prob! I know what you mean Billy. When I have money to spend, NO ONE has a sale. When there's a BLOWOUT sale, I have no money!

Very tempting! Just got the tax return last Friday. Damn you Eric!

I'm hoping that this one may last a little longer. The only problem is that when people get wind of this it will only be a matter of time until they are out of stock. $213.00 shipped is an insanely good price! I have to find a way to take advantage of this one. I have a sofa selling on Craigslist right now. Hopefully I can get that sold pronto and turn it into a new GoPro!!!

At that price, I'm inclined to get a 2nd one and have one hanging off the front AND rear on the same ride!

I'm going to fight the urge right now.... but if they're still in stock tomorrow night.... I might just have to pick one up.

I just watched the video, hilarious, the guy uses his mirror to hold his bag of food and somehow he holds his drink up near the speedometer.

This is really making it tempting to go out and get a regular (non-HD) GoPro Hero... but... the price on those is still $150... I'm not going to pay that for a regular GoPro when the HD is $213.... and the problem is... I don't want the Hero Wide either... just the regular Hero....

maybe missing....but does this have a small screen to preview?
Looked on homesite, it appears that only preview option is from some accessory that is not released yet....anyone confirm?
Thanks,

Aaron, buy one. The full 1080p video isn't too bad for wide angle. 720p is where it really fisheyes the screen.

I really don't have the need / want for 1080p.... I really just want a $100 or so camera that does a decent lob... like the original non-wide gopro hero... if someone here has one.. and wants to sell it.... I'll buy it for the right price.... 1080p for me is not a big deal... I already have several cameras that will do that (That I'll use for tutorial videos).. but for an on-bike camera... 1080p does nothing for me... On youtube, it doesn't make a huge difference.. 480 looks pretty good on YouTube these days... and I'm not keeping my riding videos for myself most of the time... unless it's footage from when I've learned something special....
Don't get me wrong... I'm sure people love the HD 1080p... but... for an on-bike camera... I really don't need it.. the files are a chafe to deal with... take up massive amounts of room.... editing takes forever...
but... if someone has a GoPro Hero.. and wants to upgrade.... I can help offset that cost of the HD model.

I wonder if Billy unloaded his? He was looking to sell his to upgrade to an HD but I can't remember if it sold...
I completely understand though Aaron. You know it can do much smaller files in 480p itself as well, right?

I still have my setup here but Aaron is looking for the GoPro Regular which is not what I have. Mine is the Hero Wide. If I don't find anyone to buy it, I'll keep it and use it in junction with the GoPro HD when I go to Deals Gap for some simultaneous video from front and back.
