I mounted the camera on a snowmobile helmet. The package comes several sticky camera mounts that are designed to stick to either a flat or slightly-rounded surface. The rounded camera mount stuck perfectly to the helmet ... and it's permanent. The HD image is crisp, saturated, and color balanced. The clear plastic case is tough, and at only [$], I will put this camera into harms way and not worry too much. Sound recording is muffled when the camera is inside the water-proof case, of course, but you almost have to mount it inside the water-proof case.

yes I would buy this again, it is a very fun camera to use. Why only three stars? First I only give five stars if it's absolutely awesome in all respects.
Even though I love playing with the camera it just doesn't produce the quality of images I can use. The lens distorts the image so it's (footage) use is limited to an accepting genre of applications i.e fun extreme sporting events, but placing the camera to get unusual POVs from other facets of life the distortion comes into play. The still images are not RAW, a major minus considering it's use as a time lapse camera for the ability of bringing in blown out detail.
Would of liked to seen a safety attachment loop and an easier interface menu system. Would of also liked to see a bigger movie resolution, applying any stabilization requires cropping the file. All in all a very fun camera but again only for a specific niche.

There are a million and one ways to use this thing, and you're certainly not limited to mounts provided by GoPro either. What's great - how easy it is. Major improvements over the original product. Not so great, I think it would be nice if there were a version with a lens that's not so wide and that has some preset focus options. I'm tired of having everything razor sharp. Also, still could use a mount with better shock absorption.

Comments about GoPro HD HERO2 Motorsports Edition:
I bought this right before heading on an adventure to Costa Rica - it went through waterfalls, ziplining, rafting, cliffjumping, swamps, and anything else I could beat it up with. It was a champ through it all and took some awesome footage. The picture quality seems to be much more reliable in more situations than the footage quality (footage depends a lot on the surrounding lighting).
Only big critique is the battery wouldn't last through more than half a day. I would definitely invest in a backup battery or two if you plan on shooting consistently throughout the day.
