As far as hosting sites... Youtube will host 1080P but Vimeo charges for 1080P and so a free acct. only gets you 720 there. it gets you 80% there as an HD format with less bandwidth requirement so not so bad. The following is an example shot as 1080P/60 Protune, to test my then new Hero 3 black. Shooting 60fps allows you to easily do a 50% slo mo on the timeline. I am pleased with the image quality in favorable lighting. Prior GoPros and lesser cams would have that blue sky be a lot of pixilation as just a still image. I have used similar old GoPro shots for magazine ads and had to do a lot of photoshopping to clean up, just for a 1/2 page ad. The Hero 3 and above are a step up image wise. Have not tried or looked at the 4. I don't need cinema sized images so good with the 3 until it dies. View: http://youtu.be/Vxn2Wh0tUBE
Bulky unit looks bigger than the drift. May just be me but the go pro looks like the most stream lined close to the drift. Garmin are top notch tech wise so im sure the camera will be good quality. Whats the sound like?
Garmin Virb ELite... It can overlay where you are on a GPS route, total speed, braking G's, acceleration force, and with additional sensors heart rate, etc. onto your video. Guy in our club is a video "pro", he's had the GoPro, Contour and a few others and to him.. the Virb Elite is the best.
