GO Pro's are just too big and bulky (even for such a tiny camera) in my opinion though (not to mention expensive!). Though I realize there is a HUGE user base that loves them and new "mounting" ideas are popping up constantly.
He(Bald Guy - Hugh Dillon) also played as the Sr. Officer(Francis Becker) on the Death Row Crew
in "The Killing" Tv Series....which was AWESOME!

They have members here that make custom holsters! No excuses!
Get those requisition forms in from your department heads! Pronto!
If you can also sell a portable Omega 13 device, then every officer can go back in time 13 seconds before to fix a mistake.

I have a Gopro with a body clip for my carrier. Despite being a boxy pain in the f'n A, their record times are very exaggerated and the quality is fantastic. Leaving it on nonstop the battery gets me through ~3hours of video. I know on the internet "just swap the battery" sounds like a great idea, but thats not feasible during a call, especially when you get multiple calls back to back. By the time things settle down and you think "oh, I need to swap this thing out" you've missed ~half of your shift. It also does not like being thrown around or jumbled up, which happens.
If your cell phone has ever died, you'll understand this. On the internet its easy to just say "plug it in to any USB adapter, why should it ever go dead? There's literally no reason your phone should ever die."
If your taillight bulb has ever burned out, you'll understand this. On the internet its easy to just say "there's an autozone/Oreilly/walmart within 5 miles of ~any given location. It takes 2 minutes to swap the bulb, why should your tail light ever be out?
In reality, this stuff just happens.

Well if auto manufacturers are no longer installing ash trays in new cars, but are still putting in lighters; why doesn't someone just invent a cord that can be plugged directly into the cops ass to charge ALL the devices he/she needs?
Here's a good one too!
Or how about a MOLLE mount?
Is this the chest rig you have?
I like this one also...
I read where GoPro is going to come out with a codpiece mount for the Hero 4+. For those cops that are a little more secure with their manhood I suppose.
Okay, since the average life span of a semi-serious thread that starts to go blue, is about 9 pages before it is locked; I'd like to say thanks for laughs, and don't forget to tip your waitress!
This is of course, if this was a serious thread to begin with?!?

I ditched the Gopro when my company started using the Taser Axon. When my boss asked if we should invest in these units over Gopro, I borrowed it for a week to "test drive it", on-duty of course. 
I guess I'll throw out an unbiased review since its now the subject of conversation.
Pros:
The quality was great. I could access video clips from my iphone app, and label them with name/date/call. Organization was a high point. "Smith 8/2/14 10-15"
I could email or forward clips to whomever, or save them to an external hard drive. ie: keep copies of all of my use of force encounters, etc, just in case it became a he said she said.
On that note, it did clear me of an unwarranted complaint and came in very handy for a DUI once as well. Lady tells captain that I was unprofessional and rude to her, I just forward him a copy of the video. Case closed. He especially loved being able to say "you did see that he was wearing a camera??". The DUI stated that he plainly told me he had an ankle injury and couldn't walk well. It was quite a different story than his jumping jacks and drunken antics attempting to prove that I was being unreasonable.
Cons:
Since I had the opportunity to review the video alone, it isn't always what you want. Example: it captures video great, but not sounds, smells, etc. Without elaborating, consider that there are a great many warnings on a hot call that aren't visual or necessarily in the camera's field of vision. My senses trump the camera's lens.
If an officer had to worry about the video going straight to admin, they may get MMQB'd to death. It wouldn't be a fault of the camera, it'd be a tool that enabled senseless micro-management. It's not a problem for me, but I can see how it would potentially be.
To a full time officer, Id see it's biggest issue being it's another expensive piece of equipment to maintain and account for. We've got enough crap to keep up with and don't need any more. I don't bring anything with me that I don't consider a "must have" and its still 30lbs of gear.
It's not designed to be roughed up. It essentially becomes a $500.00 paperweight after a few direct blows. (Speaking for the gopro, the axon hasn't received direct abuse on my watch)
30frames per sec, 640x480, and choices are high quality recording for 3.5 hours or "standard" (translated to: terrible) for ~8hrs. The standard setting was unusable past ~7 feet ahead of me. Taser says itll go 12 hours, but I never saw that ring true.

How much would a saints fan pay to see Jr. Galette sack Tony Romo?
Are you kidding me?
"Here's a blank check. Just write whatever number you feel is fair."
Screw that! I want to hear the trash talking before, during, and after every live play now! Do you realize how brutal these guys are to each other. And if they hate each, forget it!
The NFL would make millions on my concept.
I would love to hear Atlanta Cornerback Robert Alford telling Jimmy Graham; "I dare you to come my way with that bitch ass sh*t, you red bean looking ni$$er Mother f**ker!"
I would pay $20.00 a game.

NFL Game Mic last year had Champ Bailey tell Marshawn Lynch after a tackle (denying him a first down) "Thats all you got beastmode?"
Lynch, point to the stands: "I dont see anyone wearin Bailey jerseys..."
I was like WHY ISNT THIS IN EVERY GAME
