Can't actually complain about 1080 at 30fps, the likes of Vimeo and YT only allow 30fps 1080. Just wait till you can get grey imports, they'll be so accessible for people.
I'm pretty disappointed that there is no 240fps at 720p. Why is it my iPhone can do that but an action cam can't.
The 4 Black can, you need to do an update if you're still on the original firmware though. The quality is better than iPhone6 240fps too.
Hi guys after some reccomendtions, just got a Hero3+silver and I'm after - Best place to get a 64gb card from, spare batteries and mounts?
Also what software are people using for time lapse and editing?
Amazon/GPD.co.uk
Premier Pro (any version).
Stunning but depressingly my seemingly 'powerful' PC can't handle 4K video playback very well, editing would be a nightmare.
The Silver is very tempting, me or my PC would never cope with the black edition.
Built in touch LCD
manual controls [like ISO]
Could be a good little travel camera!
The manual controls are present on the Black too, the LCD is a nice feature- I got the clip on one for mine and it's pretty handy for framing shots. The raw Gopro vids aren't meant to be played back raw I don't think. I used to have an i5 and that wouldn't playback high bitrate stuff at all. I've got a 4Ghz i7 now and that seems to be ok though, but there's no way you should need a high end CPU to playback videos. 4K or no 4K.
Finally got one. Have a case and second battery. What else is worth buying? Dual charger perhaps?
Got to get them all IMO. I recently got a nice Smatree waterproof case. Has space for 2 cameras and quite a few accessories (although I can't fit all mine in...). Dual charger is useful for preparing multiple batteries in advance, it does come with a spare battery so not a complete scam at £37. The LCD bacpac is pretty nice, gives you option to playback and very handy for framing narrow lens shots as it's easy to miss things otherwise.
Some sort of floaty handle is essential for shooting in water.
What suction cups are people using, genuine or cheaper alternative?
The official Gopro one is about £25 IIRC, it's VERY strong. I don't doubt the claims that people have done 170mph with them on the outside of the car. I would always recommend using a cable tie (you can get metal ones pretty cheap from Amazon) and then attach it to something solid along with the screw on the camera. That way if the suction cup fails for whatever reason, at least it just dangles for a bit instead of losing it. Although the dent it could cause might cost more to fix than a new camera I suppose
