Go Pro, is it worth it?

[Guest Omega Man]

I had a few of these cheapies because I also thought the go-pro was just to pricey . But after I got tired of the 1 hour recording time I got the Go-Pro . No I know what a proper action camera should really be like . No more blind spots if you move from the shade into the sun , no blurry pictures when going fast when there are tree or other stuff next to the course and my battery will record for almost 3 hours .

That is NOT what I wanted to hear from you fella. Hehe.

I like mine, use it for MTB, Diving, Hunting, fun at home etc.... The Gopro edit software that is for free on there website works fine for the not so clever dudes like me. This clip i made of my ride at Ride the Rock in the Cederberg. It took me 30min.

Sorry , but I also hardly ever use the go-pro on my bike rides , mostly on the Motor-bike and on the 4x4 stuff . I tested the "cheap"one that Game was selling a while back and was impressed with the quality , so I suppose it all depends on how serious you are about your clips .

I want a go pro!

Can take such lekker photos with them.

If I ever did save enough for one then I'll get the mounts so I can go surf and dive with it too.

Oooh yes I forgot about that . The diving thing . Went diving with mine last year in Moz and was very impressed with the footage .

Or you can get one of these! 720P@30fps

 

For around 300 bucks that is cheap. Think I will ask my friend to bring me one from the US...

You were right I'm afraid. It's a 1k action cam. not a 6k action cam selling for 1k. Anyways. I guess for the price it does the job. I'm gonna use it for on the berm/jump shots and seatpost lookback type stuff where if it gets damaged then so be it.

 

Did a little messing with it today.
