After watching many GoPro videos on YouTube, one thing became very clear. The videos need to be edited. It would be great to go with a group of people all sporting videos cameras. Then you could get multiple points of view.
I have also been thinking about other uses for my GoPro. It would be cool to put it on my dog. I think she is a bit small though.

As far as the comment that they need to be edited - that's spot on. My buddy that got me hooked on the camera has a bunch of LONG driving videos on youtube, and quite honestly they're very boring unless you were on the trip and want to relive it. Otherwise, an edited 3-5 minute video is the way to go.
Here is an edited video I put together this morning as an example:

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.

Next time I think I'll mount it (again using duct tape) to a backpack I have for her. That way it's more of a view of her head and beyond. On the collar I got her snout, which was really funny.
Sorry I don't have any of the footage online - when I get some time I'll upload it and share. It's enough to keep you laughing for a long time.

I just order the handlebar mount for mine. It should fit well on the cross member of my Rugged Ridge stinger.
I appreciate all the videos that have been posted up. I have some good ideas for filming now. I wish I had some freehanding skills, I would storyboard some of my ideas.

You guys any closer to completing an e-doc for the '011? Just wondering...
