New video of gliders racing 1000 ft above the desert

I've recorded on my GoPro Hero HD for 2.5 hours straight with no auto off. I think there is an auto-off function that can be set up via the menus but the default out of the box is continuous on mode.

We all seem to be impressed with the quality and angle width of the
new GoPro Hero2 for recording our soaring. Please note that many
remotes to video recorders DO NOT turn the units on and off but only
start and stop recording. If that is the case with the new Hero2
remote then it won't help with battery life issues. You only have
around 1.5 hours of battery life. I have the extended battery pack to
get the record time up to around 3 hours but with it installed I don't
think you can also have the remote hooked up so you are stuck with
either a 1.5 hour battery life with only a start/stop recording remote
or a full 3+ hours of continuous footage with the extended pack....I
think: I haven't recorded for a straight 3 hours yet on the Hero2 so
it might be possible that it automatically stops recording after a
certain time period. I hope not. My old HD camera on video mode would
do that because it limited the individual file sizes so it would stop
recording after around 30 minutes. Was a real pain. Best is to "Set it
and Forget it!" but I guess we aren't cooking chicken in the cockpit
even though we sometimes feel like one.
