Not used that variant but I think it's just the package thing as it's the same unit I think but different mounting applicators they give you. A friend bought the PRe 720P unit. or HD.
Works great.

IMO - the down side is you want about 3 - one forward one down the side and one backward. For that MOMENT.

But even great when mounted internally for track days

I looked at getting one at the start of the year but thought there really wasnt any point (for what I wanted to use it for) but have a look at the contour range, a little cheaper than the GoPro, and they have an accessory for just about anything!

Bikers love these, theyre pretty solid and hold up to weather well

My wife bought me one recently, I use it mostly on the motorbike to protect myself against any traffic incidents. I've got it mounted on my petrol tank usually but also on my helmet. It works great.
