| GoPro vs. GoPro????
Hi all, I have a very important Q that has nothing to do with RCs, but what GoPro is better, the Hero 3 Silver Edition or the Hero 3+ White Edition. I would be using it on an off-road lawn mower. For me, the main points I care about are: Filming 1080p Full HD Being able to film in slowmo in good pixels Wifi Capability Size (Small) And most important, Having REALLY good image stabilisation (You need this for a off-road mower) I haven't researched these much but thought I'd find out what everyone thinks. I know the 3+ is smaller and that they both do 1080 but I most worry about image stabilisation as I've already fallen for a bad camera once, a Kodak ZX5, it had no image stabilisation and is now almost had it. Anyways, please tell me your thought because info would be really be appreciated. Thanks, Trillo |

The white is 5 mp. The silver is 10mp and the black is best at 12 mp. Silver is better than the white. |

I had the silver three and loved it, ended up trading it for an axial scx10.

I never used it with my crawler but had it mounted to my helmet on my street bike, it worked great never had any complaints. I would buy another one in a heartbeat but my lack of editing skills made it hard to make a good video Do have a nice one of almost hitting a car and running a red light though haha | |

Wow, just had a really awkward moment. Searched GoPro's website, found that there is no such thing as a 3+ in White. 3+ is only made in Silver and Black. So, it looks like it'll be a 3 Silver. Sooooo, this isn't a GoPro vs. GoPro thread anymore, it's a "Are you happy with your GoPro Hero 3 Silver Edition" thread! I know MCW24 is happy, but what about the rest of you |

Just FYI, GoPro cameras don't have any onboard image stabilization. Just figured I'd mention that, so you didn't buy one and come out disappointed. I have had the original GoPro, and currently own a Hero 2, and a Hero 3+ black edition. Fantastic little cameras for what they are designed to do.

Awkward Moment no. 2 I thought they had it because all the videos GoPros do are so stable. Apparently it's because it has such a wide angle lens and it makes it look a lot smoother. I found this real good reading about GoPros here: GoPro capability Thanks hpiguy for filling me in | |
