Gopro 2 motorsports or Gopro 3 white...which one?

[2Damnsly Andy]

I just got a HD2 motorsport edition off here for £180. I have bought a cable that runs from the camera to my phone for setting it up at trackdays etc that cost me about £2 off ebay and all set to go.

Confused me... What's the difference between the one in that Groupon link and a motorsport edition like you have mate?

Nothing, the groupon one is a motorsport.

 

[DrR]

Do they do loop recording? Or say if i press a button save the last 5 minutes?

what cable was that and did it mean you don't need the LCD screen or wifi backpack to set up the positioning?
sounds ideal if so.

This any good?

why can I not find that deal if I look on groupon without directly clicking the link you enclosed?

 

[Martin.]

No idea mate. So on that link is there's 3 options and the lowest of which is £179 right? Never used Groupon before.

So this is a motorsports one you say? Doesn't mention anything about motorsports edition on the link though :S

£219 for a GoPro Hero HD2 camera with LCD preview screen and 8GB SD card (45% off) -

I fancy one with WIFI functionality though, be quite good to use the iphone to look and control it.

Having used the Gopro before and after the wifi remote or app became available, I'd definitely recommend one with some kind of wifi functionality. It makes the user experience far better.

What one do you have no mate? Hero3 motorsports?

Hero 3 Silver.

They don't do the Hero3's as a Motorsport or Outdoor pack like the Hero 2. You now get the camera with a couple of mounts then the bits like a suction mount or helmet mount are all extras.
The mounts are pretty pricey for genuine Gopro ones so it can work out quite expensive. You can get cheaper copy mounts off eBay from a load of Chinese sellers!

Glad I bought my 3 silver from Evans cycles a couple of weeks ago. 25% off so only 209!

IIRC that's not even a HERO 2, it's the orginal hero.

Just ordered the Hero 3 Silver, £240 on chainreactioncycles

 

[kev182cup]

My hd3 white got bought last night. They look cool as fook and that promo video makes me wanna do some crazy s**t. Lol

 

[DrR]

Take it they don't come with memory cards?

 

[Stumpy]

No.
You'll need a Micro SD card for the Hero 3. They recommend a Class 10 or higher.

I could be wrong but think sdhc one doesn't work on all things. Look for just the sd. I saw one the same make as your link for £18.99.

 

[DrR]

Lol I've ordered it anyway, doh!

Lol I just read that it doesn't work with all devices. Gopro could be one that it does work with.

edit. I checked gopro support and it does work so you're fine.

Yay
