We use this one,i like the fact you can see your video on the camera, that way you know its pointed the right way, and the remote can go on your wrist so your not fumbling for the on/ off button.

this was my boy's first attempt at a video, we have not tried the H/D setting yet.

I didn't mean to spark another Gopro vs "x brand pov" camera discusion. Ive been using Gopro for a while and these are my thoughts.
Although it is ugly as a helmet cam it functions very well as an all around POV cam from an under water cam to the tip of a redbull plane. The contour has great features like bluetooth but seems like this new version of Gopro will have that too coming this winter with a bluetooth bacpac. I think if you want more than a helmet cam then Gopro is the ticket if all you want is a helmet cam id use a lipstick style cam probably like the contour. Mine has been on my bikes, underneath 100mph+ cars, snowboarding, dipped in cold fjords of norway and tossed around and dropped many times. I even gave it to my 1 y/o niece and it survived! I love it and look forward to all the future products and expansions.

All cameras have good and bad points, I agree the gopro has a fantastic picture, and the new Drift is black, id like to talk to the genius who thought a black off road camera was a good idea, we get what is best for our needs.I know if I am in 300 feet of water a leaky camera is the least of my problems lol
