I got a gopro hero 2 for xmas, and once I fixed the mini (that had sat broken after being towed home well before xmas) I took her out for a spin and test.

ive not tested mic yet so cant recommend, but happy to put link up, cant find a uk forum for the gopro which is frustrating but if you want to use an external mic you require a skeleton case for it.
not the same seller either but this is the microphone

good thanks - still testing and trying different settings, will be much better if it ever stops raining !

sound is certainly lacking, especially with the full waterproof housing attached ! .... I might have to invest in an external mic myself :)

Sigh, the wait to actually get my license and insurance etc is killing me, I'd love it if you guys just recorded everyday, I'd watch constantly!
