Go Pro Advice

[Crocaneers]

Our lil family [15 year old daughter as the target] is looking for the best thoughts on Go Pro purchase. Our nephew has one, really cool with the voice activation, and other features.

I wanted to seek the BZ thoughts on ideas and what to look fors, etc.

I don't have much advice on which to buy...I have one that is about 4 years old. All I can say is they are awesome. I use mine jet skiing, dirtbiking, etc. they have survived some serious crashes (a couple times the mounting stuff has broken but the camera seems pretty much indestructible).

Enjoy the future vids!!

Thanks Z .

Do you cut DVD's for those? Is it easy or do you need software? We would want some video as well as pictures.

Appreciate your feedback .. we are pretty excited .. Our nephew loves his . they have been taking pictures in the pool all day

Ive never put them on DVDs....I assume it's no problem.

I just put the videos on an external hard-drive and upload them to YouTube for family.

The only real editing I do is merging videos...im not sure what the new versions of GoPro do but the one I have only lets a file be something like 1.9M before it cuts into and starts a new file (which is about 20 mins of high def video). They do merge seemlessly .... you can't even tell there's a video break.

So Croc....how is the new gadget working?


Here's me this morning testing the durability of mine!

There's a tree there.

[Zarniwoop]

I swear it shrunk about two feet right before I got to it! No other possible explanation

[Crocaneers]

Z ..

we are using it mainly for pictures and lil Croc loves it ! High Res and super clear ..

I'm glad the tree didn't decapitate you

[Zarniwoop]

Ive had my go pro for about 4 years. I had no idea it can do pictures ... lol

OK...so has anyone ever had this issue before?

My GO-Pro is only recording about 20 or 30 seconds of video and then stopping (it doesn't shut off, it just quits recording). It is fully charged and there is plenty of room on it. All of a sudden it went from doing long videos to only these quick ones. Is there a setting that I may have inadvertently changed?

[Rocker]

Have you calibrated the operator?

[Buc2]

I recommend he let his daughter check it out.

[Zarniwoop]

You guys know me far too well....lol

Croc -- how do you like the GoPro you bought?

My Hero 3 has officially died and I'm looking for one that Santa can bring me for Christmas. Generally I have to get the black edition because it has the picture stabilizer that is incredibly useful when dirtbiking.



I don't really need a 4K one so I'm looking at the "cheap" versions of the Black editions....looking at 5, 6 and 7.

Honestly, it sits ... we used it initially, but with quality on the girls iPhone 8's and my Samsung, we dont have have reasons to use it.

It's more us than the device, and we will find ways to fold in use as we go forward.

You can use it as a dash cam
