Which Go Pro To Buy
 

I'm looking at the Hero and Hero2 and can't decide but leaning towards the Hero. Also, what mount are you using? Can you post a video of the video you made and the resolution you used (720, 960, or 1080)?

Go with the HD Hero 2 Motorsport. It's the newest GoPro, Model Number: CHDMH-002.

Definitely go 1080 HD whatever you do. I have one of the older 720p models and the video quality is no where near as good, not even close.

I think the Hero Naked does 1080p as well but from what I can tell the mega pixels are less for taking photos, but it looks like the same thing for video. What mount are you guys using?

Go with the HD HERO 1080P, I use the roll bar mount and PanaVise suction cup mount. Just make sure the area you put the suction cup on does not have wax on it or the cup will sometimes fall off.

I have this camera take a look at the features you can adjust the
settings from your I phone and for speed you can bring it down from 1080 to 720 and increase your frames per second from 30 to 60. The mic sensitivity can be raised or lowered and it comes with an auxiliary mic also which you can place out of the wind.

Has anyone tried the Contour Camera? If so what are the pros and cons vs the Go Pro? contour.com

Hero2
 

This was the head attachment with a Hero2 on a hog hunt. Range of sight is the biggest downfall so its hard to see the hog in the video....till the end!!

Duck Hunting with the GoPro
 

This was a duck hunt we did and filmed with the Hero2. It really gives a great POV. I would suggest buying spare batteries as the run time on a battery is about 2.5hrs give or take

I agree. It is worlds better than the previous versions.

I have a contour and i was holding the camera. i couldnt get my mount to hold to the boat.. damn wax lol
I like the contour because of the battery life and video but to each there own....

Ive been wanting one also


But what Ive posted on Youtube they reduce the size and quality,On my Canon camera though.

When I play HD vids on Youtube it usually pauses during playback?

Contour is waterproof to 1 meter and the go pro is waterproof to 60 meters. LCD back for viewing video is a plus also.

The Go Pro is in a case so if you put the contour in a case it's good to 60 meter's or more.
The biggest plus is that the Contour has GPS and logs in your
speed, elevation and location.
A friend that I ride with has the Go Pro and the picture is great but the one draw back is the sound, the wind screws up the mic.
So all his videos are to music and I like to hear the engine.
Not only can you adjust the sensitivity of the mic but it comes with an external one also.
For me it's all about the mic and the sound.

I did hours of research and ended up with the innovation drift hd170. Main reason was the remote and user interface/Lcd screen. It isn't as waterproof as the gopro or contour but that wasn't as important to me.

IMO you cant go wrong with any of these three 1080 cams it boils down to what you want out of a camera.

I have the original hero. I never use the 1080p setting though.. I use the r3 setting for 720p x 60fps. Its your best frame rate for faster motion and I have had no quality issues at 720p

X2. My Drift is the same way. Plus on my camera the 720 has the more narrow lens which I prefer. I hate the "bubble" effect of the wide-angle lens.

one question is how to get it to stick to the boat with out drillin new holes or hope it sticks to a wax area. for the contour. looking for ideas.
