I don't know, I haven't recorded enough with it yet... And yes the GoPro quality is much better but hey I only paid $100 for this setup and it serves its purpose you know.... Eventually I will get a GoPro HD... I just don't like the mic on this setup it is a highly sensitive enviromental mic.. I still need to add some padding, I did relocate it to the cluster area and it still gets a distorted... I also get engine noise from the direct power setup... As for recording the manual does not say anything about continuous recording, it just says it will record 6hrs per 2gb sd card.....
