Looks like CFO is a keeper. I'm still trying to convince my CFO why she needs a Gopro camera. :)
Can you mount the camera on the side of the chute, right below the deflector? Or is that plastic chute too slippery for the adhesive disc?
I think mount on the side or above the bucket would be good vantage point. See if you can get shot of the impeller and the Powermax system in action.
My wife watched teh videos on GoPro's site as well as some YouTube stuff and said I want one! Just waiting for the lcd bacpac in Feb and I'll order it. I don't know if the plastic chute is too slippery but whippping the chute around with the joystick would probably give some people vertigo. Also steh chute is going to rattle a lot it's designed so that it doesn't bind up. So I doubt I will mount it on the chute. I could mount it to the bucket any number of ways but if you see the auger you probably won't see the snow being thrown without 2 cameras.
I also would think too much snow would obscure the auger as well. I'll have to try a few different mounting places out. Besides we are still getting a full HD camcorder probably in March from the look of the release dates.
I am considering these. Leaning toward the Canon with it's new 3MOS processors. The sony does shoot in 1080p60p ,but it's proprietary so no editing ability for a while. The Panny is preety darn good and cost is reasonable. Still the GoPro will be a lot of fun to mount on a snowblower. I don't think anyone has done that yet.
Canon Vixia HF G10 - due out in March - $1,499
Sony HDR-CX700V - $1,299
Panasonic HDC-TM900 - $999
