JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I picked up a GoPro Hero HD this weekend. The mounting options for these are almost too versatile. I know there are several people on these forums that have GoPros. I would like to see how/where you mounted it and a photo or video from the GoPro. Also, if you mention which mount you used that would be fantastic.

If you mount it under your jk make sure it'll clear rocks. I'm still pissed.

My buddy has one. We use it for jeep'n , motocross, and wakeboarding. The go pro is amazing. It's very simple, but it takes incredible video.

Ouch. I was watching some videos on Youtube where they were mounted underneath. I couldn't think of a safe place to mount it. I doubt they will replace it under warrenty, but you may want to call. Did you SD card survive?

I use the suction cup mount typically on the window or on the body somewhere. Don't mount it on the hood, it vibrates way to much. I have been toying around with some ideas to attach to the bumper but I have nto come up with anything yet.

I mount mine using a Manfrotto 035RL Super Clamp directly to my bumper. You can see some videos I took with it this past Friday here: http://smu.gs/iOH6S9

Very simple to setup and use. I have the HD version and my laptop has to work hard to keep up with the file size - they're big. As long as your computer is "current", then you should be fine.

Only gotcha I've found so far is that the standard battery only gets you about 2.5 hours of video time. I've added the 2nd battery backpac and get 4+ hours, which is nice.

To be honest, videos of jeeping are just 'okay'. I've had more fun attaching the camera to my dogs collar and seeing a different perspective of life.
