conn-e-rot Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ok I'm going to get my boy a gopro for x-mas... school me on them which one do I want to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 What is he going to use it for? If he is young and just wanting to play around I would say the Gopro1 is just fine, if he is going to want HD and all the fancy features then you mise well buy the brand new one that is out. Talking a differance of a couple hundred bucks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 How about this one? http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-HD-HERO2-Outdoor-Edition/dp/B005WY3TI4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1354040950&sr=1-1&keywords=gopro+hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I would appreciate being schooled on these as well. Not just gopro, but all of the adventure cams in general - so many options!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Punisher Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 How about this one? http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-HD-HERO2-Outdoor-Edition/dp/B005WY3TI4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1354040950&sr=1-1&keywords=gopro+heroThat's the same one I own, and its perfect. Great picture quality so on, I'm actually selling mine tonight w/3 year warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 What about all the add-ons the bacpacs? batteries do the off brands work good or just stick with brand name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 If you going to get a gopro I would get the hero2 or higher. Main reason is they come with a battery pack vs batteries, the batteries tend to only last 20-30 min. The other reason is the Hero2 and up can hold up to a 32 gig card vs a 4 gig.

RHill Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have off brand, 20 for 2 w charger. Never had an issue, last just as long as the stock. Get the batteries and a 32gb card. Camera is useless without batteries and memory, and they are both fairly cheap compared to the price of the cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 They are durable within reason. Just make sure they know replacement parts are not cheap and that it may be fairly tough, but that is not a reason to abuse it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
