This first clip is my wife starting our Toro on the first pull, take that Honda!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u9Y7ELfI3M Really hit the jackpot this time. This clip is of Toro's Power Max Auger System Up close while it's working! Awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBBe1iO7dYo This next clip is me going crazy with the Joystick control on the Quick chute system. How's this for fast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb2lCs8_FdU And one more of my wife doing our EOD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZYkvqx_wsY If you want to see more just search SteveCebu on YouTube there are a whole bunch more videos of my wife working the Toro. If you like these please vote them a Thumbs up on YouTube  Hope you enjoy watching these as much as we enjoyed making them. Steve

And I can bet you some of those mounts costs many more times than a Gopro camera. So what if you chew up a couple of Gopro, after the first one, you'll learn to do it differently. Hehehe.
Seriously, if you have something dangle a bar in front of the snowblower to point at the auger, you can strap a small flashlight next to it for lighting. As you may already know, newbies buy the most expensive cameras, while the seasoned pros spend money on lighting and supports. :)
Actually mounts for GoPro depending on who you buy from are relatively reasonable. I'm involved in a Video Forum and it gets over my head at times (well a lot of the time)  The thing is you need the right camera for the job and often everything else is jerry rigged. Mounts really just hold teh camera but often no mount exists so they'll do whatever it takes to get the shot. You still need a good fluid head if you want to pan and not get motion sickness. The GoPro will give good overall video but not detailed video, for that you need a different camera. We will have some fun withthe GoPro, but it's wide angle lens is not the same as teh wide angle on your average camcorder. Me I'd love a Canon XF105 if I had the $$$$$ to buy one, 50Mbps throughput! That would give incredible detail that you won't get with a camera costing only $1,500.
Wow am I way Off topic........ anyway we will try and get some good shots and try not to chew up the camera in the process.
