Fubar231 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 So i was thinking about ordering a GoPro HD Hero 2 but wasn't sure if there were any other cameras like gopros? If anyone knows of cameras like gopros can you please pitch in and tell me what they are so i can look at them? Maybe the cons/pros of each? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Gopro is the way to go. I have one the way myself. I did some research and they are the best out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fynz Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I've been looking into them and from my own research and talking to others, the hero 2 is the way to go. I need a new tripod, otherwise I'd be picking one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murse Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 The contour is really the only other competitor. Look into that one as well. I just got the gopro hero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Gopro is the way to go. I have one the way myself. I did some research and they are the best out there. Good to hear this from you. I have one sitting back there I have not used yet. Looking to get some nice snowboard footage from VT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonda Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I just bought a Drift HD170. Taking it dog sledding next week. I decided on it because it comes with the lcd at no extra charge, accessories are cheaper than gopro and it is in the bullet cam form factor.. check it out.

justinwebb Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 i have to hero 2's that will be going into near space, but i have been using them for other things and love them. By far the best cams on the market for anything sports related or racing since they can take a beating. Just a heads up once you get it install the go pro cineform program and update it as there was a newer firmware that came out a week ago that fixes a few bugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 For the price, the GoPros can't be beat for video quality and versatility. Their only weak point is audio. But it's not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuBieQT Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 My uncle is a vendor for contour's if you decide to get a contour he can probably hook you up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Contours have software that can be loaded into the video that has gps that shows speed, location, and g forces. I am kind liking them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQdDude Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I am digging the mobile app for the Contour....nice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Anyone have any insight on a more traditional HD camcorder? I used to have an old Mini DV camcorder, but haven't had anything since then besides a cell phone and I'm thinking about picking something up. Just not sure what's good in the market these days.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'd take a Contour over a Hero, but that's just me. I like the form factor better and the features. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
