I have owned Video cameras since they came out in the 1970's. Made commercials and documentry films with them througout my career in advertising. The GOPRO was so small it shocked me. Yet it has features that my expensive 20 LB JVC will not do. I have put it on a fishing pole and videoed fish under a pier to a Time lapse feature that few cameras offer at a price that is affordable to anyone. Pro's I have mentioned it to shake thier head and comment on the HD quality, when National Geographic and ESPN Sports use them for programing then there is no better unless you want to pay thousands for an expensive Name brand.Yes it's small fragile and bit quirky with odd programing but it's the camera I now use first over all others I have at my dissposal.
A friend of mine recommended this camera after he used it to document results of his construction company, during use of explosives on road and large landscaping contracts. I work in a tactical world, from high speed pursuits to underwater recovery. Documenting these incidents and missions are crucial for liability protection, sucessful prosecution and debriefing / training. I have tested this product in a hot temperature desert and night time scuba environment. Although the market appears to have smaller helmet cameras, I recommend this company with it's proven design. A camera needs to be large enough to operate with gloves on in some operations / missions. The Hero camera has many options and accessories which should be considered and convince you to try this product.
The seller sold a nice camera in original package. The camera its good and its not so good. Size of image, ok, HD, but its not so nice, does not have a amazing white balance. The worst thing about her its that in the manual says its sensitive to light and its not. I have gone to caving, and I realized that its not so good. You have to read the manual, because she has only 2 buttons and several options, so its not so easy to use. She is very light, good point, even you have doubt if its not chinese camera. The battery really take a long time to run out, can record even more than the manual says. Almost full out my SD 32GIGAS before the battery ends. But for the price its a good option, you can put in the helmet and not worried so much, she can take some punchs. One good point she came with several acessories, since cables, to several supports to put in the car, bike and especcially helmet.Read full review
Likes Size, rechargeable Li-ion battery, HD quality, SD cards, kind of easy to use. Dislikes "200mph" suction cup lost it's grip and MY new HD camera was lost in snow first time out. Tiny screen has no display and I need glasses to read the tiny numbers and letters on the 1/2" screen to figure out what the camera is doing. NO playback screen
I bought this camera to mount on my beach catamaran for some surf sailing action. The choice of mounts practically covers any situation, I mounted mine on a spinaker pole using the handlebar mount. I was really amazed at the color clarity that this camera reveals. Great video shots even at 60 frames/sec. Not that chopping looking stuff that you see a lot of. The waterproof case worked well, as I nearly pitchpoled my boat twice and the camera got a nice dunking. No problem for the camera though, it caught it all on video and kept on going. Great camera, great price. If there was any cons, I would have to say that the memory capacity limits you to less than 60 minutes of video. That would be the only negative.
GOOD 1) video is excellent 2) sound is nearly exactly what you hear without the water proof case) 3) stills are good. 4) battery is long lasting. 5) the suction cup base has over 10hours on it at more than highway speeds and is still very solid. Points to be reviewed 1) the case, while very durable, the lens seems to scuff easily. But as they are not that expensive or hard to replace, ok. 2) night time shots are difficult, but street lamps are about as dim as it can go, and the video quality suffers. 3) it seems to auto adjust stills for exposure, so low light stills are tricky to time and need to be held steady, but other wise doable. OVERALL - GOOD
I will start off by saying this is a misleading "item"... It is not a 16MB... You have to purchase the memory card for this after you have the camera/camcorder. Other than that it is a good item, it does what it says that it will! You do have to do some reading to get it set up for use and it is a little difficult to understand what it is that you are "setting" up. Once the set up is done it's then shows you it's other weakness... it's battery life... it's not bad it's just not as long as I thought it would be. I bought this item to record my mountain bike rides so I could share these experiences with my family. This product does just what it says that it will do! I love this product and would purchase it again if I had to! It is very fun to use and fun to share my rides with others!
Used it in my car and on my motorcycle. Used helmet mount also. Great picture quality. One button action would be an improvement for sure. Multi purpose mounts are a plus and if I could learn how to edit the movies I would be happier...no fault of GoPro. Overall, great for all types of motorsports, if mounted correctly. Easy to use but initial setup is a little confusing.
Got last years model HERO (one?) motorsports on sale for $169 delivered. Got the head band locally for $15. Use it for running and in the pool swimming laps. 1. GREAT Value for last years model. 2. Surprised how easy the interface s no computers or screens. 3. Love the time lapse feature used for record of a day in my home remodeling. 4. Great for the car recording traffic road trip, use 32GB SD card and car adapter. 5. REALLY REALLY REALLY surprised how much fun I am having with this camera and running group loves the video. 6. GOPRO has rock solid high quality build. 7. If you do action sports and want a camera GOPRO is probably your top choice for quality and ease of use.
Extremely easy to use! This camera has excellent quality met by versatility and easy use. Take pictures, record video in multiple modes like 1080, 960, and 720p and with different view angles. The mounting hardware they give you is very durable and versatile. This little camera can record videos in, on or around places that most cameras couldn't even dream of going. I am very happy with my purchase.
