Questions & Answers

Shopper : Is this suitable to be used on a ski helmet?JOHN L : oh yes prefect for helmetANDREA M : I already did it and is perfect. Great camera!. BACCOUNTS P : I don't see why not. I'm sure if skydivers can use it, I am sure skiers can.
Shopper : I'm just planning to use in my car while driving and traveling on vacation, is this the right stuff or better a video recorder?GAIL R : Get a better video recorderRAFAEL F : During very good brightly lit times of the day it would look beautiful and perfect for what you're looking for. However when it starts to get dark you'll notice a graininess apparent, but only gets worse as it gets darker. Once again, the GoPro II works best in brightly lit areas. Good luck, Rafael Figueroa photographyMATILDE C : This is a great product, especially when it comes to simplicity and it's ability to capture motion. I think this camera is definitely applicable for what your needs are and it comes with all the basic needed accessories. It is also a very tough camera so again i would recommend this for your application.CHARLES S : The GoPro is a good choice for use in the car because of the wide angle it records. :)CASSIE C : It works very well! The only complaint that I have is that it doesnt have a display screen to see what youre looking at.
Shopper : Does it have a macro function?RAFAEL F : It does not have a macro function, however the quality of the overall video is outstanding and worth every penny.JAMES D : NopeANDREA M : It doesn't have a particular macro function but it works quite well if you look for close takes or stills. Great product!ANDREW R : Unfortunately no, this unit does not have a macro function

What Can You Say?... It Uniquely Goes!

I have wanted a GoPro for some unique perspective water shots for a while now. With the summer ending... I thought it was high time. I love the shots that I can get with this little puppy. I wish it were higher res... but come on. It is small, cheap, and durable. It goes where non-pros can afford to go, ya know? Nikon, if you read this PLEASE let me borrow a housing for my D800, D3200 & d90, PLEASE! I won't let you down. (I am serious!) Until then, I will use this baby for all it is worth taking unique shots in the drink. The surf mount is not very impact resistant. No matter how hard I tighten the mount screw, it goes face down on landings on my wakeboard, windsurfer, and kite surfer. I have adapted with epoxy, but I shouldn't have to go that far to make it survive a landing. Oh well... It still does a good job, especially for the price.
