I have a Hero 4 silver. The most valuable attachment I have is the extra battery and charger. I use mine mostly for pictures because I usually trash other cameras. If I ever get back to the track, I have the suction cup adaptor. I also have an adaptor you can wear around your chest. Ask Spoolfool, he uses his more than anyone I know.

I have one of those from when POV pr0n was starting to be the new thing.  Felt much less goofy wearing that one than the one that goes on your head facing down.  lol

Way to get creative Earl! Shoulda known you'd put a twist on a trail cam.

I look at everything as a building block or a toy  (on in the case of the costars....   both!).

For the price I'd try the SJCAM 4000 - be warned there are a lot of fakes out there.

I'd give up a little quality for a $300 saving. It'd get your feet wet and then you could decide if you want a better one, and if it falls off and gets ran over....

The 5000 is out now too and not much more.


Youtube has a bunch of clips comparing them:

Jeremy, I got to thinking. Mike has one on his 2002 Camaro. He posted any vids on the LS board? He wasn't out last week with Steve and I...he's our buddy with the turbo'd Hayabusa. Not like Mike to miss a practice session.
