I am pretty sure everyone has herd of the GoPro Hero Cameras but I was wondering if anybody actually has one? If so do the recommend it or would they be willing to sale to me haha? I have seen quite a few videos on the good ol youtube but havent herd much feedback about the camera itself. The quality seems great for the price and protection. http://gopro.com/ http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-motorsports-hero-camera/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDLoEiBsIOw
I have the SD version and found it to be a PITA to use. For example, I tried using it for a track event I attended this past Monday and couldn't get the stupid thing to turn on...and this was with a fresh set of batteries as well.
I have the HD version and attachments on my snowboarding helmet, skydiving helmet, caving / repelling helmet, and I'm thinking about sticking it on my wakeboard. Video quality is great, pictures are awesome with fish eye look. Here's one from 15,000' atop Breckenridge, CO. It's resized for standard viewing, but the originals are in 19x10 edit - the two cons i have are there's no lcd display, so you just have to hope you're pointing it in the right direction. It also doesn't work very well in low light conditions, like at night.
I have two of the HD's with all of the available mounts. Use them in the car and mountain biking. Best POV camera out there in my opinion. Easiest to mount and with the new LCD screen...you can actually review footage and tell where the thing is pointed before you start recording.
Yeah, I want to get that option, but all of my recording has water in the equation so I have to use the sealed case. I've got the suction cup mount for the car, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet
The LCD kit comes with about different backing plates that some of which allow you to go under water with the LCD attached.
No, the only reason it's not on my wakeboard yet. I'm going to fashion some sort of safety strap i can tie off to my bindings incase it pops off while riding I don't lose it
get one of those little key chain floating things. it should hold it up. maybe a couple of them just in case
I have the 3d setup - captured some footage at road atlanta recently however I don't have a 3d tv so I can't watch it
Does anybody have a contour instead of a GoPro? I was looking at these at the recommendation of a co-worker for biking, skiing, track day use. Contour seems to be a little sleeker, but seems to have fewer reviews.
