And a GoPro box on your helmet still makes you look like a huge dorky tourist.

I'm a fan. No need to slag if your beef is that they're worn disproportionately by n00bs and rubes.

Well, yeah, you don't need to wear one on your head to appreciate how awesome and convenient and easy to use they are.

I can't complain about GoPro, after filling out a form on their website and winning their "One of Everything we Make" contest. A few days later I received a box with a new camera, and lots of cases and attachments. They have to be making a huge profit - they give that away every day.
But reading the OP story, the DMCA takedown does NOT seem right.

Here's a Go-Pro vid of a guy free soloing [edit from weezy: The Headache]:
Vid: http://youtu.be/vTELq0DSD4s
Route [edit]: http://mountainproject.com/v/the-headache/105718186
Can't vouch for the music, the french blows of chalk, or the nausea you might feel by watching the whole thing.
The route itself looks stellar! Jams for miles. I can't tell where the crux is by this vid, but he seems to get a bit squirrelly around 6:00 mins.
But holy sh#t does the imagery psych me up when it's been too long since I've climbed any cracks. Can't see how if you like climbing cracks and like seeing climbing vids during dry spells something like this wouldn't hit the sweet spot.

i'm sure all everyone thought he was a dork for having a gopro on his head.
