Seriously thinking of getting one of these gucci little cameras. Prices seem to be pretty consistent in the UK at £300 for the Helmet-Hero version - from the US they're $300 which is more like £185! Obviously there's shipping costs and the risk/liklihood of some import duties - anyone bothered importing one?
I imported my non-HD one, would have been a fair bit cheaper even if I'd got stung with import charges and parcelforce's hilarious fees.
I finally took the plunge and ordered a GoPro HD Hero Helmet setup from the US with a 32GB card from Hong Hong. It all arrived today after about 2 weeks, really looking forward to getting it all set up and working.
GoPro HD Helmet Hero: $299 (£179)
Shipping from the US: $35 (£22)
Import fees (VAT + ParcelForce handling) £32
36GB class 6 SDHC card: £23 (from Hong Hong)
Total price just over £250 which is over £100 saving on buying all the components at UK prices.
Have been wandering around the house with it strapped to my lid most of the evening!
Stop p1ssing about and get some vids up. 😉
The GoPro HD is a brilliant bit of kit.
