To piggyback off of this, I have both cameras and I feel they have their pros and cons. With the Ion camera, it is definitely great to just slide the switch and know that you're recording, but I feel that the sound gets distorted too much with louder engines. That's where the GoPro excels in my opinion. I use the vented back on the case and it muffles the sound just the right amount. Also, the GoPros seem like they would take more of a beating than the Ion would, but I may be fooled. If possible, I would borrow each brand from someone and try them out to see what you like best.

IONs are easy to use which I think is a plus for pulling. Say it is on the roll cage and all you have to do is slide it and not have to worry about holding the button then waiting on it to come on and see if it is recording. In my use, the IONs have better video quality and sound. I haven't used any of the newest GoPros either so I am sure they have improved as well. The ION is durable even if it isn't in a case. I had two of them on the road to get Barga's driving over them, it worked the first time but the second time they weren't right in the middle of the hauler and got hit by stuff under the trailer proably at 25-30 mph. They had nicks and scratches all over and lens wasn't damage and still work with no issues. Jesse Post JP Pulling Productions
