Are you thinking about buying one too Dusty?
Has anyone compared it to the kodak waterproof camera? A buddy bought one of those but i havent done all the research as to which is better.
Does anyone mount this on the boat, opposed to on the rider?

Yeah, I think we would really enjoy having one. Doubt I will be able to get it before labor day, but I may try.

I have purchased a total of 4 all from ebay, I have found the best prices there.
I mount them to my snowboard helmet with the head mount strap(pic below). I now use a small tether in case it fall off(my first is 10,000ft somewhere in the Wasatch mountain range).
I also strap them to my leg, mount it directly to my snowboard and surfboard so it faces forward or back towards the rider, I have a chest strap and also mount it directly to the boats. The possibilities are endless. I think they're awesome, but remember the picture quality in only good for few feet.

Here is a really quick vid in HD to show you the detail of the rider, we're using a 60' tow rope.

I'll have to check these out when i get home. Thanks, though.
I have a digital camera i think would work good to mount to the tower (if i could find a cheap way to do it) but i was thinking it would be cool to have something waterproof to get some different angles.
KG, and with this, you can use the helmet strap-mount that is included to pretty-easily mount to the tower... I shot some that came out looking good.
And sorry for the plug, but if anybody is interested, my barely-used HD GoPro Hero will be for sale next week. I bought it in May for a first-person video project that I should be finished with on Sunday. I have the surfboard mount, tripod mount, and a 16-gb SD card that I'll be selling with it. PM me if you are interested.

So, with the helmet strap, have you had any serious crashes withit on? Seems like it would rip right off in a bad fall. You wear an extra tether from the camera around you neck like a necklace just in case?
