.philmypower. Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Been recommended one of these, was wondering if any of you guys have got one and what do you think of it. Looking at the white, entry level one, will be using it on my ipad as I believe it has wireless transfers and an app. What's the batt life like? Is it a good shooting cam? Are there any extras that I'd need to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosa Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Have been thinking about the hero 2 for some time now. Let me know how you get on if you get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.philmypower. Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I've watched all the go pro vids on the tube but there gonna make it look all singing and dancing.

Highlandladdie Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I have the original Hero 1 HD. Fantastic piece of kit. Can shoot full 1080p HD. You can also choose to shoot at 720p and 60fps which is great if you want to slow things down a bit in an edit. You can use it for so much more than just shooting. I use mine to capture on-board MX, snowboarding, surfing, larking about in the pool on holiday (waterproof to 30m i think). I even wore it out to the pubs on Christmas eve last year which made for a funny video and a fair few funny looks too! Best of the bunch in my opinion, go for it!

bi9johnny Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I have used my mates and will be getting one for Xmas mate.... If you watch stuff like the moto gp surfing cycling rowing and other Olympics they are all done on the gopro... Safely say if they good enough for tv it gotta be good and the price is right..

Billy. Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hero 3 (the Black Edition is what you are holding out for, remember!) Much better quality and higer FPS settings. I've got my H3 on the Christmas list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.philmypower. Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yeah mate seems the going rate for the white edition, remember you also need to buy a micro sd card and a head strap if you want it for shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosa Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Change of plan silver 3 is my option. Pity about low amount of mounting options I said 2 earlier as it looked like the white 3 version wasn't as good as the 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Might look stupid, but take a look at the shots you can get from it. Perfect for most sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
