Can this be used for sports? I am looking for a camera to be placed at the end of an indoor field hockey court above the goalkeeper to record games.

Yup I would say it won't be an issue. I use it for auto racing and quading and it never had jitter issues

Yes, although not sure if the submersible casing can handle a hockey puck hit traveling with speeds over 150mph.

It isn't bad at all! more of a camera for simple recording, i use it for recording sporting events in high light areas

I only record sports so I have not gone over 2hrs. It is a little difficult to set up but it works well

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

NOOOOO!You would be lucky to have it focus in time to capture the action. I originally bought this camera to take action photos of my sons's high school football games. I could not have been more disappointed. I returned this camera.

It may work but it is not designed for that purpose. Go pro sells helmet mounts for your application. This device is to mount your camera on a flat or slightly curved surface.

not recommended to do constant recording... really not the camera for this. I love vuezone - have them everywhere but not good for that purpose

This camera works great for live coverage and real time display. Recording is cumbersome and there are better options out there. This is not a camcorder or surveillance camera and will not easily take their place. if you are looking for recording I would keep shopping.

Its not designed for that purpose. There are better cameras for live broadcast.

Absolutely!! Thats exactly what its mainly used for.. I would buy a waterproof case for it so the snow wont damage it although its partially waterproof.. these cameras are very durable without lacking any quality.

Probably not. This camera is barebones, with all kinds of electrical potential being exposed to the environment. If you want to use this little thing outdoors, you would have to harden it to electrical interference. The cost to do it right would most likely exceed the price of a "game camera" which is designed for outdoor use.

Great! I have 4 boys playing hockey and lacrosse and the camera takes great fast action pictures. The 300 zoom lens takes amazing close shots. The kids sports" mode on the camera itself is best for reaction time and lighting. Highly recommend.

I would not recommend it for that purpose... It could do the job but the camera might be a little heavy depending on the lens you may have on it.

I depends on how far you are zoomed in are. If you have about half the rink in view if would probably work fine. Also, it depends on how fast they play with the back and forth. The rotating head is made for smooth moving film shots and clicking left and right rapidly to follow fast action just won't be that functional.

I haven't tried it on sporting events so can't really comment but I would be concerned about the speed resulting in blurred shots.
