RagunCajun Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just a heads up, an external mic will make sound clarity a lot better. I bought a $55 external mic off the internet and it's much better for what it is. I just have to hide the mic from the wind. I have yet to try it on my bikes though. Id assume if i put it under the back of my shirt, it would be fine. Also it's ona go pro 2, not the 3. I have yet to buy a 3. The ability to use your phone and remote is amazing.

Glenyboy Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Can you not just bought a different window kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes but it wont work nearly as well. It's not something for everyone though. I use it mostly for my truck when i bring it to the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 How well does the gopro hold up to dirt and mud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 How well does the gopro hold up to dirt and mud?Extremly well. I've gone swimming with mine right off my helmet to get all the dust off. Water is the issue. It can get everywhere. Through any little crack or opening. And if I'm swimming 10 ft deep with it, I'm not worried about a little dust. The fuckers broke the sound barrier attached to Felix baumgartner when he did the stratosphere jump. It was like -60 back to 100 degrees is a matter of 13 minutes. I think that is testing enough to prove there worth. Or ken block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uf21 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I want one so bad but don't have a extra 400 bucks to spend. I got a brand new 3+ silver for $185. Just keep searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uf21 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 eBay. It was a present gifted to the person's son but the son was only 5 years old and they had no need for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA98SHEE Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have the hero 3 white it was my first gopro and I didn't want to send the money for the black if it didn't work out I LOVE IT I recommend the black if it is in your price range I have seen them cheap on ebay and cragslist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Looks like a go pro rip off, problem is spare parts and guarantee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uf21 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Someone compare this cheap camera to the gopro. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sharper-Image-Full-HD-1080p-Waterproof-Action-Go-Cam-Pro-Video-Digital-Camera-/251425798452?pt=Camcorders_Professional_Video_Cameras&hash=item3a8a253934 They both record in 1080 and have waterproof cases. So my question, what is the difference in video quality? I dont care about wifi or bells or whistles or recording in low light. Those cheap rip offs usually dont last very long and the video quality is no match. If you dont want a gopro look at the 'Sony action cam' or the 'Contour 2' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 You can get a non wifi sony for cheap if you look around as they're discontinued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uf21 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Im about to buy one of these. http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/7/8/the-mobius-camera-the-do-it-all-mount-anywhere-1080p-micro-c.html Just spend the extra and get a gopro. I haven't looked at that link but I did a lot of reading and searching trying to find a good camera that didn't cost as much as the gopro but all the cheaper ones had worse video quality and the wind noise reduction was just bad.

Glenyboy Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 If your not getting a 3 get the sony, they have image stabilisation so you won't have any shaky pictures on the mx track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 But the sony is 250 bucks and ugly. For that price I'd rather have a gopro since they have so many accessories available now.Yup. And off brand mounts and acc. So you don't have to buy oem gopro parts. Amazon is filled with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
