    Hi I'm looking to buy a HD Camera. I have a motorbike trail riding booked in spain some track days on the road bike and some days on the MTB.

    Anyway, im looking at the two cameras and am wonder if its worth paying the difference.

    Anyone got an oppinion or experience or ideally both.

    Thanks,

    I have the HD Hero Motorsport and it's a fantastic bit of kit and at that price I would highly recommend it

    The camera is housed in a plastic casing so wouldn't be affected, plastic casings are about £15 should it need replacing

    They are excellent cameras.
    I just bought the GoPro Hero2, but only because i found it for £220.
    The Hero is still very good.
    Main differences in the "2" are the lens is twice the size, it records at full 1080p resolution and the frame rate is 60fps against 30 on the hero.
    My nephew has the hero and i would recommend either.
    Plenty of places do the hero for £150 now.
