I've seen this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterproof-1...item51cf3ed2e5 on ebay and really wondered if the company that makes the GoPro just started making their own?
How do you know which is the copy and which is the copy of the copy?

Looking also at all these models... What is saris racing on the board using? Can t believe i could trust a succion cup to hold a 400-600$ camera on the bow like in the atlantic city race video!
So comments from saris racing?
Comments from any other with last summer experience with those latest products?
I would also like to use them on snowmobiles and race car, same model would also fit the bill?
Thanks

I would let Pete B hook you up with his setup. I will be going that route before next season. As for mounts, Pete's camera is about the smallest and lightest out there. Both times I did Boyne Thunder I tried using a cheap gopro clone hooked to a cheap (under 15 dollar) suction cup mount and the camera stayed put. If you saw the video of my running, thats saying something. The camera itself that I tried (a cheap 30 dollar go pro clone) however was not up to the task

Have you guys checked out the new Sessions Go Pro??.. it`s tiny!
I think they dropped the price, all the reviews I read mentioned it used to be $399 ... now $199.
I already have a silver but for $200 that thing is really nice.

PS
I`ve logged many hours big water hours on the suction cup without ever losing one.

I have used the Go-Pros and they have worked well. As a Garmin dealer just got one of the new VIRB XE. I have to say it is really nice. Built in GPS, Accelerometer, G Force and Wifi interface to their chart plotters. I just tried mine and you can control 4 cameras from one plotter. Also see the video on the plotter. The last cool thing is if you have engine data on the Garmin it will send that info to the Virb also to add the internal GPS info.
Just another option that is out there.
