go pro or buy something else?

For the record you do get a remote with the black edition.

You can make the battery last longer by the settings you choose. I dont use anything above 720p and 30fps as I dont have anything at home to watch 1080p on. Lots of people just use the highest frame rates and quality regardless of how it effects memory space editing or finished standard.

Sorry to say, but I disagree.

The battery time is the same regardless of whether you take 120fps or 1 photo every 30 seconds on the timelapse setting.
The sensor and processor are still live and running, and it's the sensor that draws the most power.

I record everything at 1080p 60fps, for two reasons, to watch it in the best quality on my tv and it's better to have your raw film footage in the highest resolution and downgrade if required, YouTube saps the quality anyway so best start with high IMO.

Best native format for the gopros sensor is 1080p in the 'medium' format.. Try that.

Not that the other options are s#it quality, mind.

If interested the hero 3 black is on sports pursuit for £250 at the moment.

Still using the 3+ spec though I think.

I am looking at getting one second hand. £200 was a second hand price I saw.


but between the silver and and black I don't care but it has to be hero 3+. but seeming as most people have it going to go for it.


I checked out the ghost and looks good but I cant spend £300

Do you mind me asking why you're set on it being a hero 3+ and not just a 3?

I disagree. From using my gopro in various modes and settings I found mine lasted longer when not shooting in 1080p and when using lower frame rate. Maybe its just my gopro.
