Here's my one (and only, so far) test video I quickly made today, in the miserable cold and wet weather.

Just curious about the GoPro Hero 3. At the higest resolution, what size would the file be for about 10 minutes of recording? I just tried an experiment with my Motorola RazR Maxx HD phone in the 1080HD+ mode. I have the windshield mount for navigation, and the camera is pointed directly out the window. I did about a 10 minute video, and the file size was a little over 1GB. So, I figure with 20GB left in my internal SD card, I could get about 200 minutes of recording. When I played the recording back on our HD TV, the sound and picture were pretty stellar. I really don't want (or need) a GoPro (although they are amazing), I just may use my phone during this years ZdayZ "Dragon Quest".
