Anyone tried one? If so, with or without the case?

My buddy has one and uses the case, in case of bumps etc. Got some great video with it on the Gauley but he didn't have the angle right on Richland the last time and got nothing but sky...operator error. The sound is better than GoPro's even in the case. Only thing I didn't like about it is the side mount setup which I kept bumping with my arm. Operation is fairly simple also.

Cool...I think that's going to be my next camera then. Thanks for the feedback!

I have one.. I use it without the case on my helmet.

Compared to a Go Pro,

Pros: Mounts are way better, stays put after a drop.

Cons: 30 fps max (no slo-mo) on the Roam, has to be plugged in to a computer to change settings.

Overall.. I like it.
