I've got the GoPro SD, and there's a high and low mic setting. There must be two versions of the non-HD GoPro. With the low sensitivity setting, wind noise is almost non-existent.

lolll I thought Tekmoe was going to time-warp in his video. The recording made it look as if the air was starting to bend and curve all crazy-like

I had the older Hero SD which had the High / Low settings for the mic, the new HD model just has two backplates, one open and one closed. Apparently the open backplate is better for more windy applications.

Video clip of the Hero HD on 1080p setting with open backplate.

I just have the regular GoPro. This is on my old car, my E46 (I miss STX )

Here are my videos from an event. IIRC mine is on the high setting:

No, you'll need it on Low.

Personally. Just take the camera...a couple runs (if you're doing auto-x) set it on high, and then change it to low...

You can upload the videos and see what you like

My company actually sells these. If anyone is interested in a group buy I'm sure we can get a good deal. I've been wanting to get one of these for myself.

Hmmm....what model were you thinking of getting? A few to choose from.

Might be interested in a group buy if the model is decent and price point to hard to pass up.

I personally would be interested in the Motorsports edition. The only real difference is the accessories. They all come with the same HD camera (unless you go for the SD model). Actually the 960 is HD but only 720p. Since I would be using strictly for the car.

Here's the one:
http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-motorsports-hero-camera/

Depending on how many people we can get I can see what kind of deal I can work with our distributor.

I'm in -- I'm looking to pick one up within the next month. Let's start a new thread? Certainly doesn't need to be limited to this forum. Could you get in touch with your distributor and figure out pricing tiers for 5, 10, 20, etc. units?

Amazon currently has them for $275 w/ free shipping. I'm definitely in if we can get to the $230 tier but for $250 I'm iffy on giving up Amazon's awesome delivery and return policy (prime member). I won't be a party pooper though so I'll throw down if you're at the tipping point.
