Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted a helmet camera that would serve many purposes, mainly to take hunting video during bowhunting season for elk here in Colorado. Then to use for ski season as an additional video source for our OldFartz ski group.
I was concerned about angle of view, with the wide angle models giving too much scenery and not much definition on the animal that is the focus of the hunt. That is why I chose the MotorSports model with std lens. It has worked out fine on 4 trips so far.
I used the flat vertical mount bracket to attach to my upper bow limbs above the sight. The Hero mounting options are truly amazing. I will put a curved bracket on my ski helmet, and then may also put one on my bike helmet. I also will use it with various mounts on 2 vintage race cars in the future. May even try it for vacation scenic photos by using the suction windshield mount.
Resolution with the 5 MP still photo is adequate for web sharing and I'm getting lots of comments on the quality so that is working too. Flexibility of photo options including timer is very good.
I have imported and edited some of the video clips in iMovie on the Mac with good results. Only problem so far has been getting adequate sound. The tech support site at Go Pro suggested taking out the waterproof seal gasket for better sound penetration to the internal mic. That has helped.
One final negative is that there is no date and time stamp feature....... a compromise that will be fixed in future models I'm told.
All in all, this is a great product and a great value!
