Hiya mate I've got a go pro hd white, I think? It's a great piece of kit, although I haven't really used it that much. Anything that I have done with it hasn't been great but that's mainly been down to my dreadful camera skills. With a bit of thought and practice I think it could yield good results. Enjoy ...

Thanks Ant,

Possible group buy as well.
I need to get some feedback before I commit so all information is handy.


Ease of use is what I'm after Joe, that's key as I'm not a gadget person in reality.
Why don't you use it much Joe, do you find it a pain to set up?
I also need to find out what mounts I will need for the car and bike, the costs are starting to rack up here!

You might also want to have a look at this thread. This might also answer some unasked questions

ive been looking at them a lot also for my MTB activities,

What im against is the lack of steady shot on the Camera. i think personally im going to get the new Garmin Virb

Ive checked out the sony and thats very good, but not as many options for it. the Virb just seems to tock all the boxes for me

No case needed

If i went go pro it would have to be the new Hero +

That's great, some good info there .

It's a big investment and I need to consider other makes.
Reading the other thread I had not realised that run time was as little as an hour or so .

Littleted

Garmins 3 hrs plus
The elite is the same as the standard but adds wifi gps and accelerometers
There is a standard on eBay for 175.

The Rally TV crew I work with use the Go Pro instead of the old puddle cams, they swear by them, they have them in Costco at the mo too.

Littleted

the Sony AS10 is on ebay at 109 because the AS15 and AS30 have come out

if you dont want wifi or GPS then that sony is a bargain

RoyPinhey

Very tempted by an as10, been mulling over the options for a few weeks now

Just noticed one of the deals of the week on eBay is a Hero3 Black for ~£234. Heck of a saving.

Littleted

Yeah its because the new Hero + range is out,

But the saving is over 100 quid, Check out you tube also for comparisons, I have to be honest everyone I see of the Go pros isn't the best Picture,

The sony wins in my book for visuals with steadycam and colouration, garmins a good option because your not pissing about with cases you just grab it and go, just like the Drift Ghost Steve Peat uses on the Santa Cruz Solo ( 5010 ) Video

but at 109 that sony is bloody good value

One thing to bare in mind are these, for your IPhone

The video on an iPhone is good and we all carry our phones with us right ? map my Ride Strava, check that out running looks good, plus 5S now has steady shot also

You can play with my as15 at the weekend VERY good bit of kit, especially with the wifi meaning I can look at what it is seeing on my phone!

RoyPinhey

So you will be there at the weekend?

Littleted

do the fitments on the AS fit go pros. The new bell helmets have mounts fitted as standard

No Go pro use their own ***** mount, the sony stuff uses the standard camera mounts (m6 screwed) So can be used with pretty much anything
