Camera choice

The silver shoots perfectly good quality and the 4k feature is overboard unless your shooting real high class stuff and have the editing suite to match. And Te silver is cheaper!!

 

Silver it is then, is the extended battery pack worth getting?

[DrewB]

I think having a spare battery and swapping is better as the unit gets bigger and heavier with the backup on it. The sd card will shoot 4hrs 40 mins at 1080p- the battery will only last 2hrs tops and about 1 hr if using the wifi option.

Drew I have the lopro attachments etc... do you have to invert the vids in the options or do you just do it later in the editing suit?

 

Cheers.

With the silver edition, did you buy the remote for it? This brings it nearly to the same price as the black version as far as I can see

I bought a go pro hero 3 recently, its awesome quality imagery but over the budget by some, think its worth the wedge though.

using the lopro mount like this means the gopro doesnt stick out at all. and being central means it doesnt unbalance the helmet. the best part (for me) about gopro is the immense amount of aftermarket trickery you can get-polarised filters, external mics, crazy mounts etc..

 

Alright Drew.

 

Thought I had the pieces to do the lopro but as it goes I don't...

 

Had a quick look on the net and ebay and found nothing. Did you modify a couple of side mounts or actually buy a lopro product?

 

Cheers mate.

Helmet Front Mount - GoPro Official Store: Wearable Digital Cameras for Sports

Found one on Amazon and ordered with a few new mounts.

Hey bro- invert on the camera menu is the way to go. Trouble with using the remote or iPhone to control it is that it just kills the battery/ recording time to nothing. I've for the lo pro mount but I actually think the one in my pic is just cobbled together from various attachments!! Only just realised
