Go pro cameras
« on: September 15, 2015, 05:49:54 AM »
So I think I should buy my own go pro instead of borrowing other people's as I have been doing.

I realise they're on about version 4 at least or something but have no idea about the differences.

Aiming to buy second hand (anyone?) or cheap as poss so would like to know a bit more about them.

Will also need a bracket for a bike, screen (would be nice) and waterproof but aren't they all?

Be great full for any knowledge dropped!

(Budget of £150 to £200, but mainly £150)

I have a gopro 3+ black edition ( the best from 3 series ), it has the remote, which is good for me, I think 4series did not come with the remote but had a screen on the back of the camera, not totally sure though Could be wrong. anyways mine is great for quality etc, the newer ones have better fps at higher resolutions, thats pretty much it. I hardly use mine so I cannot compare batterylife etc.

Push the budget a bit and get the 4 silver, its the only one with an integrated touch screen and has superview mega wide angle setting, which makes you look like you're going well fast.

^ 3+ introduced super-wide view... but I think they improved it more on the 4's

From what I read on Amazon reviews the GoPro Session is being plagued with overheating.
