You can't beat go pro for the price. The black edition is nice cause it has a remote and can also be controlled from your phone. The ones at target are the older models. They still work great but are not the latest editions.

Working on it...and more.
I will say that if you are actively looking for a camera don't wait on us. We are not 100% sure are even going to market.
I'm still willing to build a one-off but I can't commit to a date at this point beyond saying it will definately be after TWS.
That's a lot different from a currently marketed and supported camera, be it a Go pro, Stealth, etc. You might spend $100-150 more but you won't hurt my feelings by going with an obviously very good product. I've always liked the Steath vs the Go Pro but regardlless, you can always buy one of mine later
Our March test is only going to be able to get us through about half of our base system test cases so not sure how much of the A/V stuff we will even get to.
The plan has been to focus on A/V at TWS including the computer vision stuff (e.g. "follow the action", and more). I really want to do some of the A/V testing at Cresson but with the board re-work I need to get that all sorted first. *Hopefully* I will at least have a couple of the pan/tilt cameras to show off.
I have been very happy with my Drift. It has an LCD, so you can actually see what you are videoing. It has zoom, so you can mount where you want, not where it has to be to get the correct shot. It has green, red, and blue lights for power, record, and charging. None of that ridiculous hard to decipher multiple button press issues that the early GoPros had. I hear GoPros have come a long way, but I also heard Sean having a ton of problems with his at the last race. I'd buy something else. My Drift also has a remote, but it only works to start and stop recording, it will not power up the camera. I normally get Wendi to power it on at the 5 min whistle, and then I start recording halfway through the warm up lap.

+1 to what Wade said. I've used a Drift for all my videos.

I have an older Drift170 that works very well. The lens can be rotated to always be "up" in the event you want to mount the camera goofy.

My iphone recording was definitely worse than usual. Not sure why.
I bought a wifi backpack for my gopro2, but it didn't work. I intend to link it to Harry's lap timer, and use my phone for a rear-view.
GoPro's are rather finicky. We have a rig that uses 6 of them at work, and every time I've used it, there was always one that was out of sync. When they work, the results are fantastic. Every comparison I've seen always lists the gopro at the top, though sometimes their reasons are odd.

I have the GoPro HD2 - worked perfectly this weekend. I did try to charge it and make sure I started each round with a full battery. Turn it on with 3min to go. Once it's on it's fine.
You have to resist the urge to "push the button again" though. Mine is set for one push to turn it on to video camera, then one push to start recording. Sometimes it's slower than others and you just have to trust the one push.
