A $12 Pee Cam Catches Action Sequences On The Cheap
The HD Hero is a great way to capture action sequences. It is small, easily placed anywhere, and for its output it is pretty darn cheap ($300 including one of the mounts), heck it even takes decent 5MP stills.
At the core of this Pee camera system by Instructable user aejnarr, is of course a one dollar sample pee jar for waterproofing. camera wise, in it there is a small 808 pinhole key-chain camera. Those are really cheap cameras designed to be "spy" cameras. They hold no lens but deliver decent image quality.
Once the "camera" is secured with a piece of sponge, you can gaff it to a mast, a car a motorcycle or a helmet. (and from my experience, they also make a great web cam, just if you decide to have a calm chat after all that action)
Bonus: You can upgrade to HD for about $20.

Suggested Mod
Consider cutting a sight hole in the bottom of the cup and hot gluing a 99 cent UV filter from ebay over it. While this will double the cost of the housing, it will greatly improve your image quality.

i've seen the gopro cameras
i've seen the gopro cameras defined in many ways... but, at 300$, "pretty darn cheap" is really a first...
