Gopro hero 2
 

Got one given to me for Xmas so if anyone else has one give me some pointers!

Need to get a decent sd card first though.

Shoud be useful for the ring trip:doubleup:

I got the new hero3 black Motorsport edition... Like you Tim I havnt got a clue where to start

Got the 2 Motorsport too for a birthday / Christmas pressie. Was going to get the 3, but got the 2 for half the price of the 3 black so went for the cheaper option. (3 does look good though!) Between us there should be good footage of the Ring...

If we can edit it on some good and easy software?

Have you got the attachment for a roll bar either of you?

:chug:How much was the 3 when you looked Greg ?

Just looked and it's 360

£308 delivered on the MLR :)

I've got 2 of these, haven't used them much but they are a fast card and have worked fine so far :)

Think Worzel also uses these as well

This may upset you guys but one of the guys I sail with has a professional 4 camera go-pro setup for his coaching/training DVDs however he's currently testing an alternative version that comes complete with all clamps and cases etc. his initial impressions are that it's 95% as good as the go-pros and he plans to retail them around £150!

I'd still stick to the tried and tested

My recent trip to Africa. The gopro outperformed every other camara there + I had both hands free. Fantastic bit of kit just wish I had waited for the 3 with its wifi. :drive:

The other one that really interests me is the contour HD as this has built in GPS tracking however all the compariions of image quality show the Go pro as clearer with better Image stabilisation.

Get wi fi or lcd screen. Fantastic through the Iphone or Pad. Use a good 16gb card rather than a 32gb. If at the ring we put two together they will do 3D. Remote is good to if your hideing it somwere. :oops:

There are already a few out there like this. Maplin do a reverse engineered one that basically looks like a cheap GoPro knock off yet promises a similar quality, for £140ish.

Why 16 instead of 32, don't you know bigger is better lol

I know with digital SLRs the larger cards tend to be slower so not sure if this will affect the video?

Some computer wizz said 16gb is quicker for editing & downloading???
bigger = better faster = .........well just faster :rofl:

Looking at getting a GoPro Hero3.... is it worth paying the extra for the Black version, or is the Silver up to the job?

I got the black edition Gary

If i was only going to use it 4-5 times a year would the Black be overkill though?

Pwhat's the difference apart from colour?

Resolution on the silver is just as good as the hero2 black... The hero3 black is far superior on resolution

I want the Hero3 for the Wifi

Resolution on the Black is far better than the Silver, but does it need to be that high for occassional use?

As a crude rule of thumb:

White Hero 3 = A Hero 1 with wifi
Silver Hero 3 = A Hero 2 with wifi
Black Hero 3 = The real Hero 3

Also, Surrey Scoobies have a 'club' GoPro Hero HD 2 that we lend out to paid SS members. We got a 16GB memory card which works fine, but the 32GB card we bought in addition is rejected by the GoPro, even though it's a reputable brand (I forget which one) and a Class 10.

Got a 32gb card in mine and its works fine

What make, out of interest?

SanDisk extreme, class 10

Hd is better with the black

What is the price difference Gary

Interesting. I thought ours was a SanDisk, but it could be a Kensington. I will have to dig it out.

This video was shot on a GoPro 2 at 720 using the 32gb SanDisk, haven't used 1080 yet as i feel the quality is good enough at 720 for 99% of the time

Good vid Ian,

I love that road and drive. :doubleup:

lets get back out there, shame you was being held up by that Aston. :whistle:

Dave was driving and taking it easy :nod:

£80, but £360 is a lot to spend on something i'll hardly use

£180 for gopro 2 at Argos

That's very tempting

Do i really need the Wifi on the Hero3?

Not needed at all more a bit of a luxury, with wi-fi you can stream the image to your smartphone (iOS or Android), if you wanted wi-fi later you can always add it to the GoPro 2 later on as I have

how much video time can you get on a sd card guys

You get a remote control with the 3 aswell for turning on and off, taking photos and so on, I got my GoPro3 hd black Motorsport edition for 310 delivered

Where from

MLR

Group buy is finished now though isn't it?

Yeah, but they havnt been sent out, ask on there Gary, Chris is very helpfull

Cheers mate

There's also an iPhone app to control it, which gives you a preview screen of whats being filmed and must be mega useful.

Here's a clip of it in action. Ignore the bit about the wifi backpack, all three cameras in the Hero 3 range have wifi built in.
