We don't have a big enough budget to do a Gopro giveaway. DefSent from a digital multitool
I airways hook a securing line to the camera so that if it does get loose, especially somewhere it will be unrecoverable, I still have it. It bothers me that they didn't include a cord mount on the camera housing so I bought machined aluminum lense rings with mounting points on them since I use them on lakes and in the ocean mostly.

I have two Hero2's and a Contour GPS. For ease of use and features I think the Contour is a better choice than the GoPro, but Contour has largely disappeared off the face of the Earth so for the most part these days it's GoPro or go away.I also like the Contour better because it has an aluminum housing and can be used without a case- and when you do use the waterproof case, it floats, unlike the GoPros which sink.I only ever use the waterproof backs. Even with the skeleton backs the sound is muffled. I might end up getting one of those cutaway cases with the hole in the side for an external mic.Yes, I have had problems with the case fogging up, but I find if you put one of the silica gel packs that comes with electronics you can minimize that. I have also heard that putting the cam and case in the freezer for 20 minutes before setting out will get rid of the humidity issue as well. I keep thinking about buying the anti fog inserts, but I'm pretty sure they are just silica gel packs and I'm too cheap to pay for them when I have hundreds of them from all of the other things I have bought.Def
Also, they make lanyard attachments of you replace the lense bezel. (Image removed from quote.)

I have the original Go Pro, and even bought the LCD back panel because I couldn't stand not seeing what I was aiming at until after the fact. I have never had any issues hand tightening the plastic clamp. It hasn't failed me on any of my motorcycle trips attached to the engine guard yet. Neat tool though. I still think it is cool that you can use it as a tie down aid.
I get the same functionality with the wifi backpack on my Hero2's. The Contour does that without add ons but with Bluetooth so there's less range.DefSent from my smurfing hunk of techno sorcery
