this one looks really appealing

I'll wait until next year when they are trying to clear these out...I doubt I'll need 4K 30fps+ :P

GoPro HERO3- Black Edition - Smaller, Lighter and 2X More Powerful - YouTube
It only looks appealing because it is shot professionally with professional athletes.

Same here. Or for shots that I don't want to risk damaging my main camera.

I think that was/is one of the biggest complaints about the GoPro, so hence the introduction of being able to view your shot with your phone now. I haven't given it a try yet with my Hero2 (I can't justify buying the wifi or the lcd pack), but I've heard some decent things with it.

GabAlmighty 10-17-2012 08:12 PM
Damn, now I want the Hero3. Anybody wanna buy my Hero2? Comes with a suction mount.

the lack of any sort of viewing screen is the kicker for me and why i wont buy one, when you use a helmet mount it's almost impossible to tell where you are aiming, and i've ruined absolutely amazing footage because the camera was not aimed properly

for static mounts and things that are securely mounted, as well as the hand held pole they work pretty good, but for your average user helmet mounts are a huge fucking let down, especially when you ride somthing all day get back and realize your shit was aimed poorly all day

EDIT* and the Chesty is even worse for power/action sports, that shit isnt made for anything but walking seemingly

I've always been able to have mine aimed perfectly... Take more time in your setup and be more deligent with how you eye ball it.

Oh, I didn't see that it is app compatible, that changes everything!

Still, I still think the GoPro is overkill/useless for 90% of the population. Too many people buy them thinking they can make the awesome video like the ones shown in the ads. Better off to buy something else for video.

You can already buy an lcd screen attachment for the current GoPros, and the attachment comes with an extended plastic cover to keep the whole unit waterproof as usual.

Nope, they have always had it. Was debating whether or not to buy one in march but decided not to. Just gotta get used to positioning it or else mount it then shoot some test footage and review on laptop, haha.

We (Vancouver Dodgeball League) picked up a GoPro2 this season. Just some raw stuff from a regular night of play, really helps demonstrate what actual game play is like, it's nothing like what you did in highschool..

european 12-05-2012 11:16 PM
Damn! That looks awesome. I want a Hero3.

Ronin 12-05-2012 11:17 PM
If someone finds the remote/wi-fi for the Hero2 for $50, let me know.
