"" gopro hero 3 feedback needed "*

.

Ok, so as most of you probably already know, there is a ALL NEW GoPro HERO 3 coming out soon.
Faster, Smaller, Lighter, Better Quality, Built In Wi-Fi..etc..etc.

This Post is a General Discussion on what your opinion on the Two Models coming out of HERO 3.

They have the SILVER SERIES, which is is basically an updated HD Hero 2 camera with WiFi built in, the thinner size and and improved housing.
1080p/30fps, 960p/48fps, 720p/60fps
11MP photos
Up to 10 shots per second in photo burst mode


And then for $100 MORE.. They have a BLACK SERIES, Which includes the WiFi Remote ($80 value) and a better Camera
4K/15, 2.7K/30, 1440p/48fps, 1080p/60fps, 960p/100fps, 720p/120fps
12MP photos
New photo burst modes with up to 30 shots per second


There are hundreds of way to use and mount a GoPro. But, the most common, is Mount on your Bike, or Mount on your Helmet.

In these situations, it's a TOTAL PITA to have to (POWER ON, Make sure it's on, START. Recording, STOP Recording, POWER OFF, Switch to Camera Mode, Take some Rapid Shots, Switch Back to Video, Change Video Settings...etc..etc..)

That's where the WiFi Remote comes in. You strap it to your wrist like a Watch, and it has a MATCHING LDD Screen to exactly what your Camera is doing. Plus, a Big ON / OFF and Record Button.

So what's your opinion on what GoPro is doing.

Is it worth spending $100 MORE for the Better Camera and the WiFi Remote ?

or would you just using your iPhone, or Droid device as a remote instead . and save the $100.?

Once again, just a General Discussion on these models. This isn't to debate GoPro vs. something else, or what they sell for.... etc. JUST Discussion on GoPro's Decision to have these two models.

I got my Hero2 for $249, I felt $300 was a bit steep.

It is an awesome camera. If I had a full-time job and wasn't in college still, I would most likely get one. The 720p at 120fps sounds amazing.

400 is definitely a chunk of change. Although the video is pure sex and I personally love the new design. If I were to get one (will try to get some kind of camera this winter) I'd most likely get the silver and control it with my droid. also, how durable is that remote? If its on your wrist isn't it more prone to getting damaged incase of a crash?

If you have to have the latest and greatest, this thing is tits. But if you want to save some dough, there are some deals out there for the HERO2.

LMAO.


... Oh wait.


Seriously though, this isn't a .. "Hey look at the New GoPro 3"

This is a thread on .. "Whats your take on GoPro's Decision to offer these two models. Pro's and Con's of each. is it worth the cost to get the extra parts........etc.. "

May as well pony up the extra 100 bones for all the extra bells and whistles, but here is my problem the sony action cam is still looking pretty sweet the still shot alone is pretty hardcore.

Re: "" gopro hero 3 feedback needed "*

Suckers pay retail. I'll wait until someone wants to get rid of their GoPro 3 and maybe scoop it up.. Otherwise, I think the other cameras were still excellent. No need to upgrade for me unless it's STUPID cheap.


For the OP, the remote sounds like a very nice feature. I wonder if it's one remote per GoPro, or if the remote just works for every camera within a certain radius.
