Yep got one fitted to me Fireblade.
Good quality, but you get what you pay for. Never bother with the remote.
At somepoint I will get the hang of this youtube thingy  and post up the results

We used the ATC3k and A19 used the Hero Go Pro (both on this ad although the Hero should be around £140) for the onboard footage in this film !!

A few of my mates use the GoPro Hero's for surfing and motocross, and swear by them. You can get them with helmet mounts, suckers, tube clamps, anything really. They're doing an HD one now too

..2 cents worth...
We got a GoPro HD hero as well just before Christmas and the thing has been amazing. We've got to get some special spray to stop water from beading (low cost, just haven't gotten round to it). Sample video below, which is WAY below the actual quality I'm getting (still playing with compression formats). Excuse the smudgy bits .... this was the day I realised that wiping the lens with a mucky glove wasn't the best idea
(be sure to select 480p and hit the corner-angle-thing to expand the screen size!)

With regard to size, it's REALLY small - (HxWxD): 1.6" x 2.4" x 1.2"
With the battery in, and in the housing the full thing weighs 5.9oz. Depth rating of 180 feet. Battery life of about 2 hours and it shoots in a whole bunch of different settings (normal, full HD, photos, slow motion). Comes with a bunch of different attachment option. Main ones we've used are these self-adhesive pads. I'm a big lad and I reckon if I attached one to a ceiling, I could swing from it.
...should point out that I've no commercial interest - just a very happy customer
