which gopro?

[shaneMember]

I’m looking into getting a gopro or other similar ‘sports camera’ for the bike, car, work that sort of thing. Because it’s a toy and I just want to try it out see if it’s a good thing I’m thinking of snapping up a used one from ebay or something. Trouble is there’s too many older models, I just don’t know which to pick up, whether or not I should get a newer one because I’d notice the difference…you know how it goes. Yes I’ve done a search here and there’s tonnes of info to troll through!

So could someone offer advice?

Hero HD2 unless you get another older one for cheap, cheap. Depends how much you think you’ll use it really. I’d consider that and then decide how much I’m willing to pay.

In my mind, go big or go home

If it’s only a toy like you have said an if you’re not doing 1080 on your LCD massive tv I would but a HD hero the 1 they are dirt cheap. Home computer movies Youtube it will be more than impressive. Give it a rip from there and then if it’s your thing get a hero 3 when they are out and the price has settled next year.
The difference between it and the two itsnt huge glass lens , etc. All my stuff to date has been on a one and I like it so I have ordered a 3 when they hit our shore cause I want to take it to the next level

Try and find a GoPro Hero like TB said and go from there. New or used you will get a good deal. The only way to kill a GoPro is to lose it so don’t be too concerned about buying second hand.
