Default 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.
here's the link

Here's one of my videos for comparison

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!!

Default 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
