GoPro HD Hero2 Motorsport edition

[Horney]

Manages a whole day shooting with it today (Vid just uploading!) and then the camera seemed to crash and now the shutter (start/stop) button only works when it feels like it. Seems to be no way to factory reset it or anything. Really gutted as I've had a proper laugh with it today and suspect the replacement turnaround won't be quick enough to have it back for the trackday on Friday which is why I bought the damn thing.

well that sucks 

I take it you've tried the unit out of the housing?

Reason i say that is the shutter button on my waterproof housing sticks (due to scuba diving with it) so needs a really positive push.

Other than that you could try re-loading the latest firmware to reset it, if you need the replacement in a hurry then you could return your current one for a refund and order a new one, you're going to be paying return postage anyway and assuming you've bought it from the net then under distance selling regulations you can send it back for a refund.

You read my mind. Bought it from amazon so it's being returned tomorrow for a refund (Includes free pick up by courier). New one already ordered and should be delivered tomorrow.

picture quality is great.

but

great shot of the interior and screen top 


very little CLEAR forward vision 

maybe go outside of the box and mount it rear facing

Indeed this was the purpose of the test (GoPro has no view finder). This was on top of the roll bar, tomorrow will try it slung underneath ans see what that's like. Will also try on top again but with a the extender in to take it up higher.
