So I decided to buy a go pro after the Bathurst cruise Aza put together last weekend and I don't know what prices where before but the best one on the go pro website is for sale at 299 ( give or take exchange rate for aust) just putting it out there for people who might have future plans in buying one or many :D
gotta get there one day :)

Yeah have you already bought it?

Personally I think the GoPros are way overrated.

And every single Go Pro video I've ever seen has 'staggered' footage. Even the 'professional/sponsored' videos you see on youtube.

There are better ones out but are a bit more on cost but will worth it in the long run.
But for somthing that you just want to chuck on the car, helmet or where ever you like ( well some places would not be a good idea ( just getting in before others do )) .

ZFL45H1, I got a email from Brakes Direct today and it has the entire range of Contour Cameras + Accessories, including pics, prices, stats.
PM me your email and I will forward it to you ;)

P.S. still no free brake fluid yet :roll:

Hi Philip,

Just a quick email on the Penrite Free Brake Fluid offer, as well as a showcase into the award winning Contour Camera's which we proudly stock!

Free Penrite Offer Update!

Firstly a quick update on the free Penrite Super Dot 4 brake fluid offer! We've now received over 10,000 requests for the free botte, and although we're commited to getting them all out, it will take time! We're also sending them out by state on pallets from the Brisbane warehouse, so logistically there's quite a bit to do! The picture below with the 3 pallets of bottles packed up ready to go is only about a 1/4 of what needs to be sent out! As we've said in the last couple of emails, if you need one urgently, or are ordering other parts, let us know and we'll send it out straight away!

I've got a ContourHD, much better camera than the GoPro in my opinion.

The thing the GoPro has going for it is the mounting system though. So many different mount options. Contour is not bad though.

PS: If anyone has a spare GoPro flat mount, I need one for the racecar ;)
