| GoPro Hero or GoPro Hero2?
I'm in the market for a durable quality camera to mount to both mine and my sons rigs. The GoPro Hero was recently put on sale pretty much everywhere and I can get the bundle Kit for like 160. The GoPro Hero2 is a but more expensive, about 250+ depending where I get it. Is there that much difference between the two justifying the 100 dollar price difference. Thanks for the help. Im not looking for professional video, just good quality filming ability attached to my RC rigs. The waterproof feature is a huge plus. Also looking for something really durable since Im very hard on the gear i use. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note (Phablet) |

Things I've noticed is the hero 2 comes with way more crap than it needs.

I have the first one bc they were out of the 2. I will buy the 2 down the road bc the quality of the picture is noticeable. But the gopro is already so good compared to anything I had. So I was happy. |

I've got them both. Hero 2 is worth the money. Battery pack, add ons available, better frame rate, better low light, better bright light, better menu, better everything. Unless you just really dont care. In that case buy a used hero for half the cost. |

What Harley said plus an app is coming out in the late fall that lets you live stream vids to smatphones and tablets like the Nexus and iPad & iPod. Contol multi cameras and see what the camera see's on these devices. Got one of each and Hero2 is the way to go. Look here:http://gopro.com/support/article/?21500171 |

I had the original gopro it does great pictures of the sky, shakes, and jiggles until your ready to hurl. Do yourself a favor and mount whichever you pick to YOUR HAT so you can see the vehicle. Nothing ruins a vid faster than an seizure.

Just ordered a Hero 2 on Wednesday. Better photo quality and the ability to take 10 photos in a second are what got me.

So as for an update.... I ended up getting a GoPro Hero HD. Got it for 120 with 16 gig sdhc card and Waterproof case. It looks like RPP. Has a great price but the extra 100 can go to parts for the rigs. Thanks for the help and advice it was appreciated. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note (Phablet) |
