    I think it's obvious the POV is a much better setup. However, for the price, I do not think you can beat the GoPro. The fact that it offers a water tight case, plus the various mounting options and no cables is HUGE IMO. I am very happy with my GoPro and would not think twice about buying it all over again.

    You should be comparing the POV 1.5 to GoPro's WIDE angle cameras. The camera you are showing is the narrow lens camera and GoPro doesn't even make that anymore for biking...they sell the Helmet HERO WIDE for mt biking and it is a wider angle lens than the POV 1.5 and is so much better than the normal lens HERO camera...it's no longer relevant to show that camera.

    For a true look at how the Helmet HERO WIDE performs mt biking, look no further than here:

    Actually that is the Wide version, it was cropped when I edited the video's together. I have already done a lengthy review of the GoPro camera, find it at gramslightbikes.com , all my video until a couple of weeks ago was from the GoPro Hero Wide

    Ahhh got it. It's cropped and not showing full wide angle. I read your reviews, nice work!

    I did notice though that in your description above you mention the GoPro footage is on the left...but it's really on the right! I thought this was the case as the footage on the right is wider angle and smoother -- it's the GoPro footage. Check it out. You got it correct on your review, but not in the video description above.

    Great reviews BTW.

    Good catch, I get a bit more involved in the review to make sure it is correct and then I make an error in the vimeo site! Oops.


    110 degree for the POV 1.5 vs the 170 for the HERO Wide.

    Thanks.
