    I saw a Cobra that looked nice for like $130. That's not as big an issue, as something that is easy to use.

    I just want it mostly for videos of hills, canyons, 2 lane'n, etc. Not so much worried about people crashing into me.

    But I have no intention on having it implanted in my head like Scottie or anything like that.

    I travel down some really nice 2 lanes, would make nice videos.

    I like this one myself but now they have the Pro version at $139 from Amazon. What would be the one, or more, thing/s that this cam does or doesn't do, that you would want it to do?

    Ive used a GoPro since my first mile. I use the Hero 4 Silver because it has a screen on the back and I can edit or delete the video as I see fit. Not an inexpensive item, but also versatile so it can be used to film yr kids playing or a fishing trip, whatever.

    Ease of use. The "pro" version probably means more of the same features, that is something I'm not interested in.

    Something that will make good videos. That I don't have to fool with for 45 minutes when I'm tired.

    I had a slice of Flying J pizza today, and I am ashamed. But it was delicious.

    Better quality video is the key. Video quality can make a difference in court. I will pay for better quality, other than that, not much difference in the two.

    If I got one that displayed my speed I would want to be able to disable that feature.

    Don't get the POS z-edge it worked for a little over a year. It spent 9 days at HOME in AUG. and is toast.

    I have 2 new ones waiting for me at home now, I'll go through all the 100-150 cameras until I find one that works, it's just going to take a while.

    Next vitims:
