Toxic Basher Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Exactly how much difference can a small weight reduction make for what your doing ?? From what I can see they have reduced the weight less than your average sized turd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic Basher Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Surely a full shave and a bic razor to the head would be much cheaper though and probably be a similar weight loss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Surely a full shave and a bic razor to the head would be much cheaper though and probably be a similar weight loss. your missing the point its where the weight is, having an extra few grams on your helmet makes a massive difference hence why the lightest helmets are the most expensive. back on topic how does this compare to the hero 2?

unsponsored Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 A few tweaks on the functions compared to the 2 and it has the Wifi built in so no extra bacpac and no additional weight. Just weighting on my new memory card to arrive. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulman Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Just ordered me the Silver version, should be here Monday hopefully! If you like the Gopro's, you'll love the 3. I got mine a couple of weeks ago, used it on the MTB a few times and it's giving some great quality shots. Stills and videos seem to look a bit crisper and the built in wifi is a winner. The external wifi button is great to save you from going through the menu every time you want to switch it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoka Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Soulman, have you tried the GoPro app? I'm curious as to how well the 'live view' works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrorTrooper Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 apparantly the low light handling has been improved too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Basher Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The live view works fine but there's around a 5 second delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulman Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 apparantly the low light handling has been improved too. There's no real improvement in low light handling with the Silver edition. Apparently the Black edition will be the one with the much improved low light handling. It's a shame about the lag on the preview with the iPhone app. On my Hero 2 with the wifi bacpac fitted there's virtually no lag at all.

Toxic Basher Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'm using the gopro 2 with wifi backpack too bud, that's what I'm getting around 5 second lag on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check mine when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I've got a V1 and the low light is appalling, hopefully they've sorted it for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulman Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 anybody know an official release date in the uk for the black edition ?? its easier getting blood from a stone at the moment The first bath is due in the UK next week apparently but most stockists think they'll be taken up by Pre-orders. The next batch is expected after Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
