Very cool. Is the cam packaged differently with mounts for different applications? I would like to have one with helmet mounts and a fixture to mount like you had in the video. Suction cups?

Yeah, there's a couple different mounting options available. I got the roll cage mount and clamped it around a seat pedestal.
Some cowlings vibrate more than others. When John suction-cupped mine onto his cowling last summer, it just had too much shake.
it was blowing about twenty mph that day and kept getting a nasty crosswind had to let out of it a couple of times but did run about 95 mph on the last run! The gopro 3 comes with a couple of sticky pads that stick hard and hold the camera solid no worries! The gopro 3 has wifi so you can control it with your phone you can see what it see's for setup and turn it on and off

Very cool and I am very jealous. Notice everything is still nice and green, water is still soft and it just looks WARM.
Meanwhile its 21 degrees here in Kansas.... I HATE THE WINTER! (at least in Kansas!)

I am jealous too. We are at 18 at night, lakes are icing fast now. I have a boat that I got late fall that I ran once. Spring couldn't come any sooner! Kurt

Every time I finally talk myself out of buying a new GoPro, somebody (you!LOL) post an awesome video and I go back to thinking of all the ways I could mount one on my boat. Nice ride and nice video Cuz. I loved it.

If you want to make a few runs with mine, meet me at pickwick some weekend, I'll bring mine, and you can make videos until you run out of gas.
Honestly I don't use mine as much as I thought I would when I bought it. I've put it in the boat during the rally the last two years, and in my jeep once. I keep thinking it would be cool to make a fishing video when the big stripers are really on fire, but I never take the time to get it out when I have that kind of distraction.
