rock Posted December 1, 2014 Share Any input/advice on the new entry lever Gopro? R1995 seems a good way to get some 'action footage'? http://demandware.edgesuite.net/sits_pod15/dw/image/v2/AASJ_PRD/on/demandware.static/Sites-GoProEMEA-Site/Sites-gopro-products/default/v1417409319445/hi-res/CHDHA-301_main2.jpg?sw=670&sh=670&sm=fit Edited December 1, 2014 by rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber Posted December 1, 2014 Share For that kind of money I don't think you can go wrong. A year or two ago we would have been more than happy with this specification - at twice the price! So, if it's just for sharing memories, I would say go for it. Most reviews will say pretty much the same: http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/29/gopros-new-entry-level-hero-could-be-the-category-king/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis for real Posted December 1, 2014 Share ja, that's what I was potentially concerned about too....I would look at the hero3 white rather.same specs if i'm not mistaken?Cape union mart has them marked down to R2999 from R3599. The ability to carry a spare battery and use it outside the casing is worth the extra to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trail - er - park Posted December 1, 2014 Share Anyone here tried the Garmin Virb Elite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis for real Posted December 1, 2014 Share fair points, why would you use it out of the casing?Better sound quality, allows for a smaller lighter and more low profile mounting of the camera. used with an accessory called the frame that protects the camera-body.

capediver Posted December 1, 2014 Share RE Battery, poor battery performance is gonna drive you mal....get a skeleton back door and tap an external battery into that thing...OR if its gonna get wet (not diving and not ideal anyway cause drops on the lens are inevitable and will ruin that shot) sacrifice a spare full backdoor and drill a hole into it...slap a external battery onto it.
