I haven't yet figured out how to mount mine to my Harley without the vibration making the video almost unwatchable. This isn't an issue isolated to me; it's a Harley thing. Harleys vibrate and the Gopro doesn't have any kind of image stabilization - plus I think that the image being such high resolution might make it even more noticeable. I'll just have to figure it out. I've seen a few really, really good videos from Gopros on Harleys.
I ordered a skeleton case for mine too so that I can plug it in with the mini usb that I usually use for my GPS on my scooter. You might consider that when purchasing. The plug is covered otherwise with the stock case presumably for keeping water and elements out.
It's a lot smaller than I thought from just seeing the ads and the few I've seen in person. It packs a lot of tech in that tiny package. The images are pretty spectacular. This isn't your Iphone's video. I haven't honestly used it yet to do anything more than shoot video on my bike - which as I mentioned isn't turning out all that hot so far, but generally speaking it outshines my previous setup with my Mini DV camcorder on my bike by a wide margin to say the least and I don't feel like I'm destroying my $500 Mini DV camcorder in the process. This is what this thing is made for and it does it very well. If I can just figure out the mounting situation to reduce the vibration - I anticipate some spectacular riding video from my future trips.
I heard after my purchase that they announced a firmware upgrade this summer that will boost the bitrate options to 35mbps and give it 24p capability - FOR FREE! So that it can be integrated into timelines with other cameras easier for multicamera projects. The images that I've seen as demonstrations of the higher bitrate look pretty fantastic! That's higher than my much more expensive Canon HF S20's 24mbps.
The only thing that bums me out is as soon a s I bought the Hero 2, they came out with the three and now, I'm like, Ohhhhh. Bummer.Oh well, maybe I'll get one of those for the next movie!
I used the LCD BacPac for starters, but once you have the correct setting for video, there is no need for the LCD screen unless you want to frame a particular image. I would recommend using the LCD screen for photos.
Shake and bounce was much less noticable with the Go Pro, eventhough I was holding it in my hands. Next time I will try some of the different mounts (helmet, head and chest straps) and keep my hands free. It's also safer that way!
The Go Pro took better video in lower light situations like walking through shadows or the darker side of craters.
Wind noise always a problem with video was about the same as the Canon miniDV, but according to the instruction book the waterproof housing should help with wind noise. I haven't used it in the water yet.
Likes: Small and easy to use, just set and forget. Excellent video quality. I found a fully charged battery lasted well over 1 hour non-stop record or playback. I haven't had the camera long enough to test the limits yet. Using small SD cards are much easier than carrying miniDV tapes. Cost is comparable to my miniDV camera.
Dislikes: very few, but there is no zoom feature and burning a video to a DVD presents one minor problem, if you record, stop, record, and stop your play back will be in sections and not continuous, so be prepared to get plenty of use with your pause/record buttons on a DVD recorder. The Go Pro is designed and best used to take video for longer stretches of time.
I love the Go Pro Hero and look forward to using it more and more, like on my motorcycle, kayaking and snorkeling. I would deffinately recommend the Go Pro for all your action sports and activities.
Don't count on their unresponsive customer "service" either.
I guess these are great when they work, but beware, you may get paper weight too.
**Update**
I called customer service, and with a manual firmware update, had the camera operating the way it should have. I am still only giving it 4 stars, because they know they have a problem with the update process and don't seem to care to put a clear acknowledgment and solution on the GoPro site.
The tech support guy was great btw. My original comment about support was directed at the fact that they don't seem to respond to the online help.
I'm going to be using this in most of my videos, and am going to strap it to a RC quadcopter for many action scenes. I can't wait to use it to its full capabilities.
I recommend it for anyone who are into extreme sports, or just to film POV videos.
The Hero2 has different angles of view when grabbing footage. The widest is 170
The Hero 2, is just a great camera for the average "ACTION" filmer.
This is #2. I stocked up, because I never don't want to be without my HERO 2!!
Amazon had a better price, and the whole deal was better than I could find on Ebay. Plus there's "shady" people on Ebay these days. So watch out!!!!!!
I had this camera in 2 days. I love AMAZON, and my Hero 2 GOPRO
As for the packaging...It was in the retail box and included all accessories. However, it was obvious that it had been opened before and was simply re-taped. The contents did not look damaged or used but it did irk me to know that I paid for a new item and did not get a new item. I would rather have gotten it off of e-Bay. It was cheaper on e-bay but I thought I was paying for a guaranteed new item.
-1 star for that but the camera itself is a 5+ star item.
The other two cameras randomly quit working in the middle of filming HD video. We've swapped SD cards and it didn't fix the problem.
Customer support from Go Pro is absolutely terrible. They do not have a method to restore factory defaults and then update to try to troubleshoot the cameras. The company took two weeks to respond to my customer service request to try to troubleshoot the issues with the $950 worth of their camera products I've purchased. Go Pro says they do not have a return policy and would not replace any of the cameras.
The battery life is about 2 hours. If you leave the camera on all day, waiting for the perfect shot, it will probably be dead when you need it.
I strongly recommend reconsidering a Go Pro purchase based on the product performance, the way the company treats its customers and the responsiveness of their customer support. If you use these cameras for business, treat them as disposable, because that is about the best you can expect. I hope they can fix their company, service and the Hero 3.
It seems from all the reviews that for every 10 cameras....more than 1/2 have major issues and seems like you have to be a d*mn rocket scientist just to set it up and figure it out! GoPro has crappy support, no phone support and they have deleted some comments that are negative against their product(because the product is garbage and not working as THEY ADVERTISE it to work)....So....GoPRO.....I refuse to purchase your product FROM ANYONE! Although I have to give cudos to amazon.com since they at least back this product better than the stupid company that produces it!! They will return, replace or refund....PERIOD! GoPro will NOT! ADIOS GOPRO!!!!
Also, opposed to what the manufacturer claims, it is not compatible with any SD card, the booklet says that the only two things the card needs is to be class 4 or more and be formatted in FAT32 file system, which is not true.I bought the SanDisk Extreme 32 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 SD Card for the camera (needless to say it met both requirements), and whenever I was able to turn the camera on, it said "SD ERROR". Another reason I bought the camera is because I surf and I wanted to take surfing videos, but I read that it has poor quality under water too. I wasn't able to test this myself because the camera never worked for me, but I mention this because I think you should do really good research before buying this product.
I will stay away from this awful product for a while. Hopefully there are more options out there, but if there aren't I'm going to wait for the next model before I try it again.
The best tip i can give is to read the how-tos and get extra batteries and memory cards.
I plan on upgrading to the 3 but this served me well.
AMAZING VIDEO QUALITY PICTURES AND SOUND
WORKS GREAT IN ANY WEATHER
TOOK TO A TRIP FILMED WHALES UNDER WATER
GREAT
this weekend and play around with it.I took a chance and bought a slightly used unit form Warehouse Deals, Inc. , and when the package arrived today, I was extremely disappointed to find out that the actual GoPro unit was MISSING!! Yep, that's right! The package came with only a few straps, a battery, some mounts, a manual and 3 GoPro decals. Be forewarned that you're taking a chance with their shipping department, because based on my experience and some other reviews, they have some issues with their quality control, at the warehouse.
Happy with performance
The only real issue I found is that it rattles in the case while on the jet ski.
I don't even need to review this because if you're heard of GoPro, you know they are awesome.
Pros: It's awesome. Great photos, great video, I love the fisheye lens. Sound reproduction is good when using the open back or no back. I use this for motorcycle racing and recording video at raves (amazing by the way).
Cons: Poor low-light visibility, if you have the closed back on the case, sound capture is poor.

2a. The GoPro battery is impossible to get out with bare hands, you need something to pry it out.
2b. I am SEVERLY disappointed with battery life. I start my bike ride with a full battery, and poof, gone in 20 minutes. WTF?
3. Too often, the GoPro stops recording, just to piss me off. 5 seconds into my ride, almost every time, it shuts off.
3a. Also too often, the GoPro turns itself off.
4. I tried to return it, never answered.
5. It just bricked, won't turn on. Fully loaded battery, plugged into USB, bacpac on backpac off, nothing. Congratulations, you just donated $300+ dollars to another corporation who doesn't give a s*** about its' customers.
I think I'm gonna go get my hammer and find out what thing thing looks like on the inside.
- low level lighting (i.e.- dusk) films ok, but comes off as grainy and less then HD-ish.
- Simply plug the card into your PS3 or attach the camera via USB to your PS3 and it reads all the video data with ease.
- Without a view screen your only options are the LCD attachment (about $80) or the WiFi remote through your smart phone (WiFi device is about $40, or WiFi w/ remote runs around $130). The lag time between the WiFi viewable screen is about 4-5 seconds.
- It's a lot easier then you think to rig the camera to a dog.
- Don't throw away the base plate the camera is mounted to when you buy it. It's a god send for mounting the camera to unusual objects.
The only dissappointment I have is the interface. It takes a lot of getting used to (using only two buttons to operate everything). The best work around I've seen is using the WiFi interface and changing your settings via your smart phone.
So Amazon customer service is great. They are shipping another overnight (I have prime and originally had next day). No extra charge to credit card, just box this one up and send it back. Amazon provides the shipping label (no cost)! We'll see what the next go pro brings. I'm bummed that it's defective as this is the first electronic that I've ever received DOA. It shouldn't happen but I know it does. I'll change my review once I receive the next unit.
GoPro = 2 stars ATM
Amazon = It's cheaper all around for me to just order from them via prime. Gas would be more expensive than prime membership + how fast things get to me. I live out in the boonies where not a lot of the stuff I order is readily available.
EDIT
Probably a little too late but the product works well. The housing cracked 2x and had to be replaced under warranty. The hinge part broke after using it 2-3x each time I got a new on and I finally just gave up trying to get a newer housing. I use it every now and then as a regular camera without the housing.
It's better mark, too much quality and practicity
