Ben K. Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 My Dad surprised me with a Gopro camera the other day. Big props to the Pops! I'm beyond excited to see what I do with it, the next step is upgrading the computer and my video editing software. Do we have any other owners on the forums? Mind sharing your experiences or opinions about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I have the HD Hero 2. You're basically doing a hail-Mary every time you use it because you can't proof video in the field unless you buy the add-on. Fixed fisheye w no zoom, no proofing. Really bare bones but does shoot decent video. Underwater clarity is OK at best without another add-on. Fun to play around with and since you're already good at editing and creative, I'm sure you'll make some great videos. Editing is way time consuming so I mostly stick to taking photos with my D-SLR. I use my iPhone for shooting quick videos because I can upload direct to YouTube. iMovie on iPhone / iPad has been my go to app for quick video editing. Have fun with it. It's all in how much time you're willing to put in. Cool that your pops bought it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben K. Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks for the info. I just picked 2 batteries, 2 memory cards, and a floaty for the case. I'm making some plans to try it out this weekend, can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
