I was given a go pro for xmas, it has taken some time to get the hang of it.

Initially while riding I was turning it off and on a lot. this caused it to lock up and require a battery removal to reboot it but then it would corrupt several files . I have taken to leaving it on for longer times (giant files ) to solve this but then battery time reduces so I need an extra battery.

ol mate got a piggy  battery for his go pro but it causes more issues so I think a spare is the go.

Any one else having these issues??

A mate of mine has a pair of those goggles with the built in camera , I have seen the videos and the picture and sound is good.
and you dont have to worry about braking them off your helmet like the go pro.

a mate of mine has them but he rides head down so you only see the bars and the front wheel. he is trying to adjust it.
