I'm interested in this topic too. Last year's Go Pros are being discounted quite a bit and they don't seem to be much different than the new iteration (GoPro 3?) that's out now.

Get one. I've got several of them. They just came out this week with a sportsmans mounting system. They're great fun for close range filming.

I used the bike mount and mounted it to my shotgun and shot skeet with it. I'll see if I can find the video and post it. The bike mount worked but it was a little awkward aiming.

My buddies and I have several of them and use to film Fishing trips mostly. Here is my 2 pennies on them. I don't like them for duck hunting....even at close ranges, they make it look like the birds are far away. I have cheap camera's from Wally World that take hd video and cost about 1/3 or 1/4. They do much better at catching close up action. You can set them in various locations and even zoom them in if needed. Biggest draw back is that they are not waterproof, but when I can get them for $25 to $30 on clearance, it doesn't bother me when 1 of them in 4 years has got ruined by water.
