gopro cameras?

[the verminator]

just wondering what the difference is between all of the different helmet heros? iv found a hd helemet hero, hd helmet hero 2 and a helmet hero 960p.

 

if you could you please explain, other than price i would be less confused

 

thanks

GoPro - non HD recording

GoProHD - HD recording

GoProHD2- HD recording and apparantly far better than the GoProHD

 

i think

 

buy from an ebay seller from the states for about 170quid delivered (GoProHD)

[ben-jammin]

Yeah but wait for the added cost of shipping and import tax and you might be just as well to buy in the UK and have it quicker.

 

I'm sure Ian will be in at some point to sing praise about his GoPro2

£170 delivered final price i paid was £170, with all the basic mounts, sucker cup mount and a few others to my door

thanks for that ben, its a mate of mine who started the thread. he ended up with a hd, very good camera but as you can get the no hd's a lot cheaper, helmet hero for 170 on ebay in uk. with is been 960 is there a huge differnce as there is only 120 dpi differnce?

 

think iv got my head round it, but like i said is there a huge difference in pic quality/ features

I dropped in to the local supplier today to ask the same question. He reckons for a beginner the basic model (960 I think) does what you need. If you're just using it for putting stuff up on youtube etc it'll suffice. If you want to start using it to sell your business or doing really fancy stuff with big screen TVs then go for the GoPro2 with all the hi def. The guy I spoke to reckons to start off cheap, see how much you use it and then if you want to go the whole shebang you only need buy the naked camera upgrade. Now I'm sure I'll get shot down in flames by Ian and Drew

Whats wrong with the 960?(just no HD?)

[Taupotreeman]

Not really sure Adam but so far that seems to be it, along with no wide screen.
