jafo666 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thinking of getting a go pro, now i have done a little research and my budget would stretch me to getting a hero 3 silver, are these any good?Or are there any better alternatives for my money? Theres a company on ebay selling the at a decent price right now but I'm 50/50 wether to do it or not! lolAnyone use one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've got a go pro 2 HD and I know others have the 3 Great bit of kit , but remember you will need an assortment of mountsOnly down fall is sound quality, but for the price a good but of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafo666 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Whats the best mount to get / use? What options are there?So even with the external mic the sound isnt that good?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I think an external mic is much better. I've heard a Sony mic is better. There are a few comparison vids on you tube if you searchI have a suction mount and sticky mounts plus a variety if extending mounts. Mine was the Motorsport edition so if you google that it will give you so e ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenosehughes Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 We use a GoPro 1 and 2 a lot whilst Mountain Biking. The picture quality is excellent but agree the sound is not so good. You can get a little clicking rattle from the mount. For durability etc i don't know of anything that's better for the price. One of ours came off a motorbike at 80+ bounced down the road, although the case was badly damaged the camera was fine and still works months later.
