Some article wrote by me (James, EXtionHD/Blog)

Red Filter Comparison For GoPro Hero3
Why do we need red filter for GoPro?
Water absorb sunlight’s red spectrum, the deeper you go the more blue your shots will get and red filter is use to counteract it. Ever since the introduction of GoPro Dive Housing, demand for red filters for GoPro housing has significantly increased over time. Often we’re asked which Red Filter is the best hence we came out with our own comparison of red filters available inside our store. (Please Click Spoiler for full article)

Checking in! HERO2 Motorsports user. biggrin.gif

Planning for HERO3 Silver some time later this year.









To kick off the thread, here's a timelapse I did at Genting Highlands. More than 1000 photos were combined to make into video (using CineForm). More to come after I get my own car (so I don't have restriction to be home by 6AM if use family car tongue.gif )

HERO3 Silver. Just like HERO2 but better. Except it's not HERO3 Black's specs where you can have 4K and 2.7K video resolution. Get the motorsports, btw. Where it has suction cup mount (no worries, I went up Genting and down with my GoPro mounted on the car, no problemos. The timelapse failed though. Hahaha.)

Yes. Gonna drill a hole underneath it also... just to mount it on the tripod. I follow this guy on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/user/kylemartn101?feature=watch


But my GoPole is self DIY. Find the screw/nat of the Tripod mount thread size, use PVC pipe drill here and there. use hot glue gun to hold the nat in place. done. and also have to get the right length to be sticking out. later i post pic smile.gif

DIY gopole, haven't spray colour, cannot decide what colour tongue.gif total length is about 50cm. Too long already, actually :s

Yes its with dive housing + red filter. Some parts it looks blurry because gopro focal length or my hands are shaky xD first timer using gopro underwater. All my macro shots with it couldn't be used.

Yeah I didn't post process the colours. Not really sure how to. Still learning.

Since you have the LCD screen I would also suggest not to use the touchscreen backdoor while you go for your snorkeling. Needless to say scuba diving definitely a big NO for the touchscreen backdoor. I've read cases of water leaking into the camera using the touchscreen backdoor and there goes the camera. No warranty from GoPro for water damage. Use the hardcase backdoor that comes with the LCD smile.gif Safe better than sorry.

About framing shots... I'm not really experienced but I would suggest during boat rides take video from low angle beside the boat when its travelling. The water splashes are pretty cool. Also, POV shots of jumping into the sea or 3rd person view of people jumping into the sea would be pretty cool too.

I need more ideas of shots too. Feel free to share. xD

I'm planning to get a Gopro soon for video recording.
I will have to record hour long speeches in a darkly lit room.
I would use my DSLR, but they can't record that long.

I'm always a gopro fan and I'll use it even after this event. But the thing is, will the gopro be good enough ?

How does it fare to sub RM2k camcorders ?

Don't expect much on long hour recordings from GoPro. It's one of their downfall. Continuous recording could only last about 45minutes to 1hour give or take. Their battery bacpac could extend the recording time but personally I feel it's a waste of money to get that since the bacpac battery is not interchangeable.

Regarding low light recording, the HERO3 Black is pretty good at it from some comparison videos I see online.

What do you mean by not interchangeable ?
I can use the bacpac battery, and when it runs out, switch to regular battery right ?

Don't expect much on long hour recordings from GoPro. It's one of their downfall. Continuous recording could only last about 45minutes to 1hour give or take. Their battery bacpac could extend the recording time but personally I feel it's a waste of money to get that since the bacpac battery is not interchangeable.

Regarding low light recording, the HERO3 Black is pretty good at it from some comparison videos I see online.
Awesome view~!

i manage to get longer footage by plugging an external power bank to my gopro hero 2 but it doesn't work on the hero 3.

What do you mean by not interchangeable ?
I can use the bacpac battery, and when it runs out, switch to regular battery right ?
*
What I mean is you cannot remove the battery inside the new (black color) gopro battery bacpac. Unlike the older version of the battery bacpac (grey color) which we could remove the battery and or charge the battery by itself.

So instead of having double recording hours every time (1st recording 2 hours > 2nd recording replace both camera battery and bacpac battery and have another 2 hours), now the only option is double recording once and single the next (1st recording 2 hours > replace camera battery and the battery bacpac you'll have to take and charge > so remains 1 hour to record).

Unless you get 2 battery bacpac. Which is quite expensive.

If missing some recording in interval is fine then might as well get 2-3 batteries and change rather than a battery bacpac.

I hope you get what I mean cos it's very hard to explain biggrin.gif

Ah, I get what you mean thanks.
So the only way to continuously record 1 hour+ of recording is by having 2 battery bacpac.
Is it possible to hook up AC power then?

it sucks for me coz my flights are at least an hour each, then most of the times cannot record the whole flight :/. that's the only problem i have with the GoPro, battery life sucks. other than that i love it hehe.

my classmate mounted his gopro + battery backpack outside, but dunno he never mount properly or what, he did a low pass over the runway then did a 20º pitch up, the suction cup gave way and popped off and he couldn't find the camera again. sayang sad.gif. maybe the battery backpack added a lot of drag

Same thing happened to my GoPro2; I mounted my cam on the side of a car, but when I stopped, realized the camera was missing. Took 10mins to find the suction cup, and another 40mins to find the missing pieces...

Basically, the whole cam + suction cup mount had shattered to four separate bits. The worst part? The Hero2 was no longer able to power on sad.gif

Anyway, I'm a relative newbie with videos so any thoughts, comments, or ideas appreciated:




To replace my broken Hero2, I've just purchased a Hero3 Black as well as a Hero3 Silver. I've taken delivery of my Black and am waiting on my Silver. Wireless function is rather nifty, but I'm actually facing some issues with playback - transferring the vids from SD card to PC, I'm unable to play the videos back (even after converting via GoProCineForm Studio) when shot in full resolution. Anyone have a solution for this?

I also got hell lot of issue with the Hero 3, a silver edition.

It would stop recording by itself, after 3 seconds, after 13 seconds. Sometimes it works well for a certain time, then mood swing again.

At one occasion the time lapse LED did blink, only to find nothing at all in the card after i landed. Tried again, for 3 times. same shit.

The most recent one is it just keep stop recording itself, and turning off itself, and realizing that only after some great flying. Very very disappointed.

At last, the screen doesn't display anything anymore, although it can be turned on and able to record. Sent it back to fotokem sunway which never update me on when i can get it back.

All in all, the reliability issue is very disappointing despite all 3 firware upgrades.

I read a lot about that too.

I just bought a Gopro Black 3.
It's not very intuitive and at times can be quite buggy.

My 2 cents after owning it for a few hours
Pros :
- It's really really small
- The housing is really solid
- They do provide lots of accessories with it
- You can use your phone to control/preview

Cons :
- Controls are not intuitive. I had to skim through manuals and online websites just to get it connecting to my iphone. Not a simple plug and play
- No tripod mount accessory. Need to purchase extra, similar with mic jack too
- No tripod mount on the camera itself, so will need to use the housing
- Housing has no opening, you can't use any accessory and use the housing at the same time. This is bad.
- Battery life not really good, I tried USB charging it and using it at the same time. It doesn't work
- No exposure controls. I'm not talking about manual ISO, Aperture, Shutter speed controls... even auto exposure compensation toggle is not available.
- It's gets really really hot. Possible autoshutdown may occur

Currently I'll try hooking a eneloop mobile booster to the battery bacpac. Not sure if this will work, will find out soon.

are you using class 10 micro sd card? cuz before that the sales guy gimme a class 4 micro sd card and i didn't realize it so i barely could record anything more thn a few secs and it turn off itself. updated firmware also same. thn kopek the micro sd card and rage. in the end i get a 32gb micro sd card fixes all the recording problem but sometime while recording will hang and stop recording.

i've never had it get really hot and autoshutdown, but i have to agree that the battery really sucks.. but its really weird lol, sometimes the battery can last for 2h30min flights but sometimes 1h30min the battery die already rclxub.gif . for the exposure control, i use the GoPro Cineform software (its free on their site) to adjust the aperture and contrast. you can buy one of those YooBao powerbanks, i'm currently using one bought in Garage Sales for my GoPro + iPad + Galaxy S4, 13000mAh lol.

On my own Hero2, the battery was really decent; able to last up to a whole day of on-off recording (although it did get very hot). A friend's unit I borrowed however, had crap battery life. I charged it before a 14-hour flight, and when I landed, it had completely drained. Without use.

On my Hero3, battery life is appaling as well. I tried recording some runs last weekend and of the three 15-min vids I recorded, only the first and last turned up in my SD card. The second vid was cut off halfway. I'm recording on 1080p running on a Class10 SD card btw.

Oh, converting the files from CineForm is a pain too.

It gets really really warm when you plug in power and shoot at the same time.

I also found out you can't plug in power to shoot and charge the battery at the same time.

How does the software works ? Can I change the exposure control right before taking a shot ?
I really hope that is the case....
Imagine if you need to connect a DSLR to a PC to change it's shutter speed... pretty inconvenient

As for powerbank, thanks for the recommendation but I have a personal preference over Eneloops.
They retain their charge pretty well even if I don't use them for a month or after years of usage.

its like photoshop, just editing the exposure. i'm not 100% sure if there's a way to control the exposure like a normal DSLR but i don't think so. its with 0EV like most phone cameras lol. i'll try and see if its possible to control the exposure, then i'll let you know

this happens to me too, a lot! i found that the camera records in parts (which is fine of course, i can just join all the parts together) but sometimes the middle parts are gone! if the ending parts are gone ok, can understand maybe battery/space habis but in the middle rclxub.gif rclxub.gif . i really love using my Hero 3 but sometimes the cons are very sweat.gif ... and yeah i agree, converting from Cineform is really annoying. it takes super long to convert and to export.

CineForm basically decompresses the recorded vid; a simple 2Gb file can easily turn out to be 16Gb(!). To me, this sucks. With the Hero2, it was always just a matter of transferring the file to PC, then edit.

Now, I have to decompress, convert to .avi, then only can I begin to edit. Btw; prior to export, are you able to tweak the vid? I can't seem to do that. Unsure if it is a PC limitation, or if I'm doing something wrong.

Another gripe I have: recording in-car; if I want to record by mounting the camera on driver side window, I can't seem to get a good angle. Not sure if its in my head or not, but I seem to remember getting it slightly better with my Hero2...

Regarding charging and recording at the same time, the trick is you need a USB cable without the data wires inside, only the +-. For example like powerbank and some cheap usb cables. Mine could even record without the battery in it, solely powered by a step down regulator. hehe

I'm using the Sandisk 16GB Class 10, what UHC1. I think it's more like the problem of Gopro firmware not able to handle files in the card, regardless how many video files in it, still buggy one.

Yea i also contacted Gopro support, they asked me to send it to US. Coincidently then my screen not working so i sent it back to local retailer. n days ago they said they would replace a new one, which i would believe it's a refurbished unit la. US comp always like this.

Yeap pilot. but Drone pilot. haha

oh drone pilot as in those 4 "propeller"-ish things like helicopters? it looks fun haha, but later wind blow away then GG tongue.gif. yeah they're normally refurbished, but that's fine with me honestly, as long as the condition is really good + it works then I'm ok with it. when the drone took off, what are you wearing over your eyes? is it some goggles which are connected to a camera on the drone?

GoPro 3 Black user here.

Sharing two of my videos taken in Tioman smile.gif

Tioman 1

Tioman 2

Just came back from Sipadan last month, and it's a bummer that my go pro can't even video pygmy seahorse cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

Am planning to do a macro set up for my GP3 but it's not cheap unsure.gif

Here's a sample of video by a GP user

GoPro Macro Setup

Setup:

Diving Flinders Pier with a GoPro HD Hero3 Black edition and SRP BlurFix3 SO.
Using Macro filters and URPro swCY filter and also 2x L&M Sola 500p lights for most of the macro shots.
Up to 5 filters stacked for some of the Macro shots here 4x macro filters and a low profile swCY from URPro.
Mostly all shot in 1080p60 with some close up shots played back in slow motion at 50% speed. Just one particular shot here was using 2.7k30 and I wonder if anyone can pick it.

Err there are toy grade which are cheap and hobby grade which are expensive. hehe

Bout the control, can practise ah. Initially was surely hard and scary. haha. Yah it's more relax flying.

Just got back my Gopro. They gave me a 'one to one' exchange though. However the salesman saw me, went into the room, after like 15 minutes he came out, showed it's a brand new sealed unit. But can clearly see the lens got fingerprint one ah. opppps.

Then I need one egg timer urgently, flying off tomorrow, but Ikea alu one finished liao. Have to settle this. It works though.

Looking for a tripod mount specifically.

On another note, for batpack users.
Will the gopro use the batpack power first or it's own power first ?
What happens when one runs out ? Will the Gopro shut down ?

Guys, i bought gopro hero 2 ~6 months ago but never had time to go thoroughly with all the functions.

Last week i tried the time lapse and mounted it on my balcony. 1 shot every 30 seconds (capturing sunset). Came back an hour later, found out that the cam had turned itself off and the front casing where the lens protrude out is fogged up. The cam itself is quite hot.

The ambient temp is around 26-28 (got my min max temp..lol)

Ever happened to you guys before?

edit: same thing happened when using the vid function for over ~45mins

the camera is design to shut off itself when overheat, there are several solutions for this that you can try.

1) take off the backdoor if you're at a safe location
2) take off the battery back cover, it helps regardless backdoor is on or not
3) fogging due to overheat inside the casing, anti fog will help

anyway we still have some tricks in hand to remove fogging even without anti fog biggrin.gif drop by our showroom some day and we might help out, no cost nod.gif

Hi.. new user of gopro here..excited about it! But have a major concern...my wifi remote that came with my black gopro3 doesn't turn on. Only turns on and connects well with the camera if it's charging or connected to a usb port. Once detached from notebook/pc, it turns off and doesn't come on. Anyone having similar issues?? Thank you

hey guys. im planning to buy gopro hero black. i do diving. so i think im gonna need the LCD screen to take shots underwater. ive come across some people bragging abt the touch screen not functioning really well underwater.

so, what do i do about that? are there many types of LCD out there?

also, can the casing that comes with the camera set be used together with the LCD OR i need to buy another bigger casing? thanks.

Don't have the LCD Backpak so I'm not sure if there is a problem with the touchscreen feature or not. However, I believe that if you buy the Backpak, it comes with a larger casing to accommodate the add-on.

Have a search through some of the WTS threads in LYN. In fact, if you scroll some pages back and have a look at the signatures, I remember seeing some folks having GoPro accessories for sale.

Good luck!

I just brought my hero3 black edition. Do you have backscatter for this hero 3?

Still new with this, can't share too much. But one thing, when i am on the bike racing 130km/h, the pictures look blur. Does this camera actually comes with anti-shake feature?

Sorry , I don't sell backscatter.

Be sure that when you mount your Gopro on you motorcycle, please slot in that white color thing which is called the anti-vibration plug.
It will fill up some gaps so prevent vibrations.

i have the lcd screen, and it came with the additional back cover that let's you use the touch screen when its in the water proof casing. it doesn't work well underwater but honestly, why would you need to sentuh sentuh under water? wanna ambil gambar or take video can change with the buttons on the camera. the touchscreen back cover is mainly just for you to adjust and look through photos without taking out the camera from the case.

Won't be bringing it soon as we experience some negative feedback from Hero2's edition, easy to scratch and hard to take care of it (you attached it near-permanently to your camera)

Gopro 3 Hero Black.

With Wifi on and without battery pack, 40 minutes to an hour
Without wifi and without battery pack, about an hour
With Wifi and with battery pack, An hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.
Without wifi and with battery pack, about 2 hours +

1080p 30fps Protune off

I still face problems syncing my gopro to my phone occasionally.
Charging the battery pack doesn't charge the main battery and vice versa.

i personally using snake river prototyping, prefer it as i can always take out the red filter when i have my video lights on and place a macro lens instead. its fits 55mm filters

try with other iphone/android and see if it plays or not. if it plays in other phone, maybe is your phone's app problem

But if you check gopro3+ review, the cam same in size. The casing is the one smaller. But only can go underwater down to 30m only.

Hey does anyone here convert their files manually?
I was having stuttering/choppy video playback problems until I found out that the file format/codec(Sorry, not knowledgable in these stuffs tongue.gif ) GoPro uses result in a choppy playback, but small file size in return.

The solution I found to this is to either download GoPro Studio, convert and export the video there or use a converter. The Studio app crashes when I import a big file so I'm left to learn using a converter laugh.gif

Could anyone recommend me what codec I should use when converting that doesn't decrease the video quality(or not much at least) but doesn't decompress into a huge file at the same time? blush.gif

as much as i like using it to record, i still think hero3 and hero3+ doesnt have much different. lol.

I only use 1080p and 960p so far, forget about 4k etc. gua punya tv cannot support lol!!! So just buy with any that meets your budget.

pm me if you need any idea or how to use, no charges and won't force you buy from me biggrin.gif

laugh.gif its a "camcorder" to be exact. imaging ability is just a "extra function"

day-2-day, you cannot ask for anything other than "snap photo" eg. i want bokeh/i want zoom in/poor low light

ill be testing it next week (heading to Bali).
it shud be able to tho.
but in the sp gadget didnt state anything bout waterproof.

"Your Wifi Remote is already waterproof upto 10ft / 3mtrs so this pole is perfect for use in water. However, we would recommend rinsing with fresh water after immersion in salt water."

Anyone experiencing issue while using GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition with SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra (Class 10) card?
I read somewhere that the SanDisk cards are not recommended but it seems that GoPro now lists SanDisk 64GB SDXC as their recommended SD cards.

Any thoughts or experience?

i don't have any experience with the hero3+ but i would recommend getting 2 32GBs instead of 1 64GB... people say do it because its just in case your memory card fails at an event you still have a backup with some photos saved.. for me I use it for flying, if for some reason the sd card fails or there is an error and the whole thing corrupts its horrible.. it happened once to me on a really really good flight for some reason and I was so disappointed!!


on another note, one of my classmates had his GoPro mounted outside on the tail of the aircraft months ago, it fell off for some reason from 7000ft high (almost 2km vertically). the GoPro was undamaged at all, case with a few bumps. it was found by some farmer (my friend had recorded himself saying if found please call xxx number). even though GoPro has its problems with battery life and what not, its pretty impressive as there is almost no damage on the camera!!

here's a photo from the flight, all credits to him of course!

I'm using 1x Sandisk 32GB microSDHC Ultra and 2x Sandisk 16gb Ultra microSDHC. Sandisk is probably one of the most reliable brands for memory cards for me, as I've used it for my DSLR, GoPro and X10 and so far only 1 time had some problem with my GoPro.. other than that, been using Sandisk for a long time and so far its been good..

I think read/write speed doesn't affect quality but especially for the GoPro which records 960p 1080p 1440p and so on, its better to get a card with decent speed so there won't be any problems.. my friend uses some cheap 5euro 16gb card and it keeps stopping the recording when he records higher than 720p..after he bought a new one which was the same as i had he didn't have any problems.. i think its coz the "data"(or whatever its called) that are being written onto the disk came too much at a time for the card to write so the card can't handle..

nice sharing, many thanks LinTao!

and how about the card capacity? so far as i know, we should buy according to what we gona capture with our GP.. i had read somewhere telling that 16GB is just enough for 1 full battery charge.. with 1080 60 or 30fps (which i will usually use).. is it true?

if its true, then i will go with 16GB x2
if not, will i will go for 32GB x2


my usage is mostly to capture video and going underwater. my weekend is full with camping activity tongue.gif

oh ya, i would like to share my buying..

1)GoPro Hero 3 / 3+ Protective Storage Travel Carry Case
2)Compatible Gopro Hero 2 /3 /3+ Head Strap Mount
3)Handle Grip for Digital Camera and Gopro Camera -blue and floating
4)Compatible Gopro Hero 2 / 3 / 3+ Vented Helmet Strap
5)Gopro Hero 2/ 3 / 3+ Compatible Tripod Mount Adapter With Nut

all this for rm195 including postage. the most inexpensive seller on lelong.com..or maybe you guys have another 'cheap-cheap lubang'?

I think 1080 gives you 60 or 100fps if i'm not mistaken..i lent my go pro to my friend so i can't check.. but 1080p i think gives you about 55mins or a bit more than 1h with 16gb..for me normally my battery lasts for 1h continuous recording with LCD screen..without LCD screen probably 1h30min..

I would recommend trying to record at 720p or 960p too..just to save space/battery.. unless you bring a laptop or something to store the other files in..1 recording of 10mins or 15mins with 1080p is easily a few GBs..

also since you're using just your go pro for a whole weekend, you need extra batteries..always have a spare battery with you if you use it a lot..i have a spare battery and also a battery bacpac..and i recommend getting a YooBao mobile bank (check in garage sales under mobile phones and accessories). it's very good to use to charge your gopro on the go + your mobile phones..

i think you can't go wrong with 32GB x2 or 1 32gb and 2 16gb..i have 1 32gb, 2 16gb and 1 8gb which was a free gift with the camera..

as for your purchases..i've never used non-gopro brand mounts so i can't comment on how reliable are they..but the price is pretty good.. the case is SP gadgets ah?

I don't know about not taking damage...

Several months back, I was test driving a car with my Hero2 mounted outside capturing the motion of rotating wheels. Naturally, the camera itself was in the protective casing. However, the suction cup failed and was detached from the moving car.

Long story short -- the camera look undamaged, but failed completely. Even the SD card wouldn't work anymore :/

my friend used it on his next flight. it works fine but yes his sd card didn't work properly but he just replaced it and it worked fine then. I dunno lol, I think falling from 7000ft has a pretty hard impact...

Yeah. When I found my suction cup mount, it was in three pieces. I suspect the detachment occurred at ~140km/h and the impact on hard tarmac was too much too handle. Was surprised the camera wouldn't work anymore though. Won't even turn on!

maybe hmm.gif ..my friend's got detached going about 105knots (more or less 190km/h).. strange that the suction cup detaches because my instructor and I put our GoPros outside and we did low passes with no problem! (going at probably 120-130knots (more than 200-210km/h)) and pulling up very steeply. I guess it depends on how well you attach?


also, just bought the GoPro Jaws Flex Clamp mount! about RM200 here in Dubai laugh.gif . looking forward to trying it out! Also, I saw this SP Gadget 39" "GoPole" for sale here, which can insert the remote control in the base of the "pole" so I can take selfies and stuff. Anyone has experience using this can give some feedback? Wondering if its water proof and stuff.

I have a feeling the problem was that the surface where the suction cup was mounted had a bit of dust on it. Which left a little air pocket, which led to the detachment. I think lah.

So now, before I mount my GoPro, I always have a small packet of wet-wipes to clean the surface. Oh, and when possible, a bit of string to tie the mount into the car laugh.gif Another mount I use is the RAM mount -- I've attached my iPhone 4S outside of the car and have recorded at over 200km/h before, with the phone still staying very intact. I'm looking for a GoPro adapter for my RAM mount as well biggrin.gif

Don't know if I should be happy or sad that a camera, several times cheaper than the GoPro, can produce such video quality. The downside is that the mic has poorer quality, and no housing so cam cannot be mounted externally.

protune makes the video colors nicer after post processing. so just on it when there is enough light.
and when evening to night, then just off it lo.. anyways its quite easy to change mode.

yeaps.
thats the one. but without the remote holder.

btw, i tried to use the remote during my dive session.
at the top theres connection.
but upon 4meter down there's no signal (pairing). --- found it.

hence, it is better to just video the whole thing or what?
hahaha. i end up shot it manually with the button.

Hi guys,

I want to buy a GoPro camera, but I don't really know what to use it for.

In Malaysia, I will use it as a dash cam smile.gif

But I am only here for 1.5 weeks, then off to Switzerland again.

I don't have a car there, and I don't do any extreme sports.

So I wana ask, what do you guys use your GoPro for apart from extreme sports and recording your driving?

u can use it for a lot of occasions actually. u can buy the jaw flex clamp then clamp it onto your dog's leash while you take your dog for a walk(actually planned on doing that this weekend), can use it when you go diving/swimming/watersports, can use it when you go travelling and like to take selfies with the people you travel with and like to have the scenery in the back (the lens is really wide), if you put it in the waterproof case u don't need to worry about it getting wet or dropping it or bumping it around, and it's really light and easy to carry around!

That's enough reason to get a gopro.
It's hard to find a waterproof camera that can go beyond 30m and can churn out 60fps 1080p video all for way less than a DSLR or any serious camera.

I dont really do any extreme sports and driving but sure as hell i love travelling and intend to learn diving maybe later on.

And i am travelling to europe next month, and any sifus know how much will it cost me there? is it cheaper then here in malaysia??

Hello guys,

Where (as in physical shop) can I find vast selection of GoPro's accessories? Need stuff like suction cup, clamp, and monopod.

@Ji3MOON thank you! btw, I have the GoPro Jaws Flex Clamp, I was wondering, the "Goose Neck" is similar to a Joby Gorillapod leg, can I bring that underwater while diving? or will the salt water damage it?

@SHOfrE3zE there are some situations where using the wifi just won't work..sometimes the connection is bad, especially when put into the waterproof housing..once I got the LCD backpack I rarely use the wifi..but of course it depends on the situation haha..sometimes you really wish that you can see what you're recording while recording it, you can't do that with the iPhone (I think..but I'm pretty sure as every time I record it says preview not supported). But it can be done with the LCD backpack.. but bear in mind the LCD backpack drains a lot of battery. At most it will last 1h recording 1080p non stop (but the GoPro WILL overheat if you record non stop for 1h).. It has happened to me before..

That's enough reason to get a gopro.
It's hard to find a waterproof camera that can go beyond 30m and can churn out 60fps 1080p video all for way less than a DSLR or any serious camera.

yep..bear in mind its hero 3 black edition, not 3+..and yes, here in MY electronics & so are quite a bit cheaper than in Europe..for example, a Canon EOS 6D(BODY ONLY) there its 1899-2099 euros. here I think its about RM6k. I think you can get a hero 3 black here for RM1299 (new) or less even..just go garage sales under cameras & photography > compact & prosumers and search for GoPro and look through the searches..

even YL is selling hero 3 @ RM1299 and 3+ at 1499..at least 500 cheaper than in Europe..good luck searching smile.gif

Hi guys. To gopro hero 3+ users, how long will your battery lasts for video recording? I'm recording with 1080p superview 48fps but i can only managed to record around 45 minutes. Is it normal?

Btw, anyone uses 3rd party battery? Is it as reliable as the original?

That is longer than expected to be honest.
Why use 3rd party batteries ? The original batteries aren't really that expensive in the first place.

I personally wouldn't trust lazada.
There has been complains about their service.
Why not spend a little bit more and get it from a physical store lcoally ?

@sayangness
basically a GoPro is really user friendly..there are just 3 buttons to press haha. 1 is the off/on button which also changes the mode from photo / video / timelapse / setting , another is the shutter button (to take photo/start recording), and last is the button to turn on the wifi (hero 3 onwards)..to answer ur questions.

1. well, hero 3 and hero 3+ there are 3 different editions, the black, silver and white. basically the black is the high end one with all the functions, silver is missing some and white is missing some. I would recommend u to get the black edition even though its a bit more expensive than the silver and white..there's no beginner intermediate or advanced as they're all user friendly..even beginner who never hold camera before can just pick a gopro up and start recording laugh.gif ..I have friends from my pilot school who bought the gopro at my recommendation and had no problems with it, just needed my help to explain some stuff..

2. answered in 1. , get the black, its the best possible option and you won't regret it..you can read up on differences between black/silver/white..

3. honestly, no..just remember to take care of the camera especially when it is out of the case coz if you scratch the front lens it isn't so cheap to replace..same like any other cameras..but no, you don't need to clean/brush it at all..


@arafat
if you want reliability and variety for gopro accessories + other accessories like SP Gadget, etc..u can visit YL Camera @ Jaya 33, PJ..try to check the prices here in garage sales so u roughly know the prices first..I would recommend u get the best price here on lyn forum first before visiting YL..but basically all GoPro products are sold at the same retail price..difficult to haggle the price but some sellers might give u an extra something..

but 1 thing hor..if your head big a bit like mine, it feels very tight to put over your head..for me i cannot wear for longer than 15mins coz my head hurts and i have to fly..and my hair long so when wear it compresses my hair where the strap is so my head will look very weird laugh.gif ..but the footage is awesome thumbup.gif

a) I think most places are selling at more or less same prices..but I would recommend YL Camera or ShutterZen..not known for good prices but bought my stuff there and happy with what i got..
b) I think you should get 1 32GB for HD recordings and 1 or 2 16GBs for backup..my personal use is 1 32 and 2 16gb
c) depends on you..but i think you will enjoy using the battery bacpac & lcd bacpac, which are 2 of the most commonly bought extras..also the suction cup if you plan to use it..i also recommend the new GoPro Jaws Flex Clamp which I recently got and found very useful

thanks for the feedback!! i was actually thinking of getting that quick clip and clip it to a hat, rather than wearing the headstrap (which may look a bit awkward walking around with the headstrap on)... but unfortunately i think its only sold together with the headstrap.

Any idea where to get lobang for cheap quick clip? loll biggrin.gif

this was one of my uses for the flex clamp. clamp it onto the back of the chair my grandparents sitting on. can also clip on chopsticks to lou sang and I had the idea to clip it somewhere on the lion dance head but this year no lion dance at my grandparents house for unknown reasons sad.gif..normally more friendly with that crew as they every year come so I can ask them for favour like that but if dunno the crew then susah a bit..

@r3kahsttub actually I don't know if its available here yet..I got mine from Dubai for about 240 laugh.gif ..yes u can adjust the clamp to clamp on objects as thin as a pencil..I would say that this won't replace the security of the suction cup,I would never mount this outside on a plane..but its much more flexible

@AhChian haha, its not with the gopro..taken with my fuji xpro1..gopro in the photo how to take photo with gopro tongue.gif..this is just to capture the situation from a diff angle as I lazy to keep changing lenses to my fisheye

Hehehe. yah surveyed yesterday at times square and lowyat, all RM300+ wah lao. Found online at shashinki.com at the price of RM268 with first time registration can get RM10 coupon. so total paid using the coupon is RM258.

Soon after I ordered and paid then only realised if I subscribe to their newsletter I can get another RM10 gift voucher...aww...too bad didn't realised it sooner, if not can get total RM20 discount - RM248. It's okay lah. just for the information of other members here, you can get it cheap at shashinki.com using those coupons (RM10+RM10) if it's the first time you ordered from shashinki nod.gif

Received my Hero3+ BE today from Lazada! rclxm9.gif

Decided to take the risk since the price was just too great to resist. I used the RM150 code during CNY weekend, total damage was only RM1149 biggrin.gif
This was my second time ordering from them, so far both were good. Bubble-wrapped packaging and fast delivery both times thumbup.gif

this one is sold & fulfilled by Lazada, so package & delivery should be direct from them.

But on the GoPro package there is a sticker from Funsportz, so I'm guessing that's their supplier.

It was a 0.5sec burst shot if I remember correctly; but it is whilst editing the video. You speed the vid up so that it looks seamless, to get that sort of effect smile.gif

Thanks, let me get this straight.

1) LCD Bacpac understand is an addon device i just attach it and its like a camera.

2) Smartphone will be via the GoPro app. Understand you take your pictures then sync them to your phone. How will the syncing/transfer be done, via BLUETOOTH? WIFI? If WIFI does both device need to be hooked onto a WIFI network to do the transferring or is it just piggybacking on the WIFI capability to transfer.

Sorry for noobie questions !

Currently i just hate the limitation on the title animation.
would love to see the fonts fly in or something like that.. the only effect is fade in n fade out.

beside that, about the gopro camera.. the camera battery really drains out fast!
i basically had gopro died on me in middle of my event/outing.. most of the time it doesnt last 1 fullday outing.
(not once but happen twice already.. )
i guess still not used with the battery usage n so.
im also slowly getting use with camera angle. not familiar yet with the wide wide angle view.

Below is a video i made of my trip to japan. any comments?
everything was shot handheld.. didnt have the time to buy the accessory for this trip.. doh.gif

@AhChian nope, still using GoPro Studios for basic editing like crops, adjusting the speeds, exposures and stuff..but if I were to make a movie with it on my MBP I think it will crash sweat.gif ..

@bunvirus I think its just to make it have a more professional feel? if you have fonts flying in or swirling in it doesn't look very nice (to me)..and yes, the battery does drain out pretty quick..get the battery bacpac (but always remove it if you're not gonna be using it for a few hours as somehow it drains the battery from the bacpac even when it's off) or extra batteries..and don't record for 20-30mins straight, I think the camera lasts longer if you record 5min intervals..

looks like a fun event hahaha..the guy in the pikachu suit laugh.gif laugh.gif

1. Yes. LCD Bacpac is an add-on screen.

2. The GoPro application is for users to view the angles, videos, photos, settings and etc. The GoPro unit has a built-in WiFi. Of course to upload your videos/photos first GoPro app will download the video/photo to your phone and you would need to either use your own phone's data network or disconnect from the unit to connect to a Internet WiFi network.

Hope I answered your questions.

@db07mufan
1) yes, you attach the LCD bacpac to the back of your camera and you can use it like any compact camera and you can view what you shoot without any delay, unlike using the wifi with your smart phone..but if you use the LCD bacpac, you can't attach the battery bacpac..

2)yes, via the GoPro app can find in your PlayStore/App Store..there is a button you press on the GoPro and it will activate a personal hotspot on the GoPro, so basically your GoPro becomes a modem but without internet connection, you connect to the GoPro via Wifi on your phone, then open your GoPro App and press connect to camera.

you don't need internet to be able to send the photos from your gopro to your phone..basically it's like bluetooth but much faster..


@scpt Macbook Pro 2011 model..it's quite old but performs better than the Macbook Air..i advise against getting a Mac(especially an Air) if you want to edit GoPro videos..unless you use it purely to edit videos from GoPro, meaning the only application is GoPro studios then that might work..but if not, i would recommend getting another laptop..for the same price, you can get a very good laptop or desktop already

probably only via Gopro Studio. Photography newbie here, this is my first "proper" camera tongue.gif


I've been test recording with my early generation class 10 micro sd from Adata (transfer rate is literally 10MB), seems to be ok for the most part.
Tested with all available resolutions & angles and I've never experienced the camera crashing. What I haven't test is the Protune mode.

However, I noticed a momentary lag when recording in 1080P 60fps every now and then. And continuous shot doesn't seem to take more than 3 photos no matter I set to 5 or 10 shots. I think these are probably due to my old micro sd card.

So what are the cards that most of you are using? I'm thinking of getting the Sandisk Extreme plus/pro.

i think many monopods the main problem is the weight for a certain length..like the same length for let's say manfrotto and gopole, the go pole one will be lighter..btw you can take a look at SP Gadget POV Pole..the 39" one let's you attach your wifi remote at the base..

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SP-Gadgets-GoPro-R...e/dp/B00CKPFLF2

saw this in Dubai but didn't have enough cash at the time..

just googled SP Gadget POV Pole Malaysia and got this as one of the results..the shop in Pandan Indah

My camera seems to record video in multiple files, could this be due to the slow sd card that I'm using? hmm.gif

...Still waiting for my new cards to arrive

BTW anybody have problem to connect gopro 3+ black using wifi? my ipad and phone cant connect with my GP.
i want to reset all the setting. but i got notification on gopro website "software download was not available in your country" wtf??

i my s/n starting with DE3B14XXXXXXXX it is possible? coz GP website told me the s/n was invalid. now i dont know how to update. anyone can email me the update file?  icon_question.gif

The serial number doesn't start with DE. I'm sure you looked at the wrong place. The serial number is at the battery compartment. Something like H3B+Bxxxxxxxx.

i think many monopods the main problem is the weight for a certain length..like the same length for let's say manfrotto and gopole, the go pole one will be lighter..btw you can take a look at SP Gadget POV Pole..the 39" one let's you attach your wifi remote at the base..

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SP-Gadgets-GoPro-R...e/dp/B00CKPFLF2

saw this in Dubai but didn't have enough cash at the time..

just googled SP Gadget POV Pole Malaysia and got this as one of the results..the shop in Pandan Indah

as an alternative to those monopods, you can buy one of the cheaper monopods (I have china brand) and use those velcro straps from Daiso to attach your remote to the monopod. much cheaper and you can spend the extra moolah on batteries.

I hardly use the remote but the monopod is quite useful if you snorkel or dive as your range would be better.

does anybody use a stabilizer or steadycam with your gopro? I've tried my friends one for DSLR but I think the weight is too much, it shakes too much.

Any recommendations on a suitable one?

1080p 60fps looks awesome on the GoPro. It's a shame that YouTube only supports 30fps.

Here's a video I took in the swimming pool, at 60fps.

Hi,

Help my friend to film his wedding proposal today with my Fuji X100s, which is more well known for his camera features rather than video.

I always wanted to learn more about video and having interest in GoPro for quite a while. I dont do extreme sport, plan to use GoPro to film to document my dad's daily life and maybe attach it on my camera hotshoe when i do street photography.

So now, my question is: Assuming i gonna get GoPro 3+,

What else accessories i should buy together? or need to buy? Stabilizer? what brand? Glidecam iGlide? Extra battery?

Thanks

I think it really depends on the kind of videos you want..GoPro will definitely not replace a good video camera..but it's more flexible, like I can attach my camera to the outside of a plane. Can't do that with a DSLR or camcorder..for weddings, I saw this video a long time ago of this couple that hid a GoPro in the bride's bouquet. if you can imagine it you can do it haha.

Only problem is you have to touch up the videos with the software to get nice output. Also, it has only 1 lens, and it's a wide angle lens. but for that idea, attaching it on your camera hotshoe, I've done it before haha. and there's also a street photographer in Japan I think that did that too.

u will need to get a tripod mount, and also a hotshoe-tripod adapter to do that. I can't recall where did i get it from, I believe from MPA in Garage Sales. other cool accessories are suction cup, jaws flex clamp, lcd bacpac. I would recommend at least 1 extra battery too..

Thanks for feedback.

Besides using it for video, im also a street shooting guy and always wanted a backup / decent water proof & resistant camera to use in the event of raining, as and when im shooting.

I read in another thread that the photo taking capability of GoPro is soso, especially when in low light situation. True?

Besides, hotshoe-tripod adapter and battery that you mentioned, i understand GoPro have no LCD or screen to view or viewfinder to compose. Is there any LCD accessories to buy?

yes I also use it with my X-Pro 1/DSLR by attaching it on top. Well, I think you have to think for yourself haha. It's like sticking a UWA lens that cannot be changed. But it's a very good camera to use, if the situation arises and you need a cam like this to use, you definitely will be very happy.

Yes, I agree, in low light I'd say it's pretty bad. but when the lighting is good, the output is really nice after tweaking a bit with the free software from GoPro.

yep, the LCD bacpac. I have it and the battery bacpac. you can also use ur smart phone/tablet to frame ur shots

Hey guys i'm having problem with the gopro studio...

I shot some shots over the weekend and am trying to put it together, but it's laggy as hell and when i play back the preview often stops halfway and cant playback.

Any recommendations on this? I've read around that its because of some codec and what that is difficult to break down but is there any solution to this?

yeah..even I was surprised that there are so many accessories to get for the GoPro..spending about 3/4 the cost of the camera (even more i think..) for the accessories that I have..but they're not really necessary actually, if you get the tripod mount and tripod screw mount to hotshoe adapter, you can just compose with ur phone first, don't need the LCD screen. just get extra batteries after that.

LCD screen is more like a fun to have accessory. what's more important are the mounts, I highly recommend the jaws flex clamp over the suction cup unless you stick it onto flat surfaces a lot. it's much more flexible than the suction cup

it does require quite a bit of power in the computer to edit stuff using GoPro Studio, especially compiling HD videos here and there. I'm using MBP 13" late 2011 model also got problems. once even crashed when I'm about 3/4 done with the movie sweat.gif .

speaking of FMFA, I was at ASOT and I saw about 10 people using GoPros laugh.gif

I figured that the playback kinda hangs when I use the transition feature in the gopro vid. My laptop is actually pretty new so i dont think it's the hardware.

Now I've got tonnes of vids but malas to put together cause of the software. Hope gopro gets something fixed.

Are there any other similar cameras like GoPro but cheaper? GoPro is too expensive and its for pros. I just want a regular one where I can stick it on top of my head or body and record whatever I see when I'm travelling. It does not have to be able to record HD videos and have fancy specs. I would even use my Galaxy S4 or iPod touch to do the recording if I have the device to mounth it but they're just too big and obvious, I'll also already be using them as a camera and mp3 player anyway.

I think you can search for SJ4000. Recently heard it from friends and it cost about RM400-500 only after convert. Got YouTube detailed review also. rclxms.gif

Most importantly, the accessories is great.

Heya,

Kinda new and curious about GoPro, I really like diving and is planning to get GoPro, but I would like to understand more about it first. Any introduction to the GoPro series which is most suitable for diving? And how much should I be investing into it?
*
Hi,

For scuba diving all HERO3 or 3+ units are suitable. However the quality of the video might vary as the professional grade HERO3+ Black is definitely at the top of the league compared to the other GoPro series. HERO3+ Silver Edition would be fairly enough but personally I wouldn't recommend silver edition with 2 reason. 1. the specifications is not as good as hero3+ black 2. you're actually paying about the same amount of money for the HERO3+ Black unit excluding the WiFi remote. WiFi remote cost about RM329.

I would recommend to get a unit, red filter and lcd bacpac. It would total up to a little less than RM2k.

Also a dive coil lanyard to hook to your BCD too just in case you drop it. Its about RM70.
Optional, antifog inserts to prevent your GoPro Housing from fogging. Thats about RM40.

Then you're good to go and record your dives!

I just bought from them because can use Maybank EzyPay (installment). Most shop I went to ask is mostly priced at 1499. The "bad" thing is the warranty is deal with Groupon.

Hey guys,
I'm looking to purchase a SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSDXC for my soon to arrive GoPro Hero3+ Black Ed.
Any recommended seller on LYN?

Also, I found some really helpful article on GoPro's site that might be helpful for others who are looking to purchase microSD for their GoPro.

[Sharing] As you may know, Ultra and Extreme Plus price is very big difference. I've been receiving feedback from customer about microSD Ultra & Extreme Plus with Hero3+, I'll just breakdown by function in general which I recommend you should go for:

1080p, 24/25fps - Ultra
1080p, 30/48/50/60fps - Extreme Plus

960p, 48/50/60/100fps - Extreme Plus

720p, 50/60fps - Ultra
720p, 100/120fps - Extreme Plus

This is just for general reference, some customer feels Ultra is not enough for their purpose, most of them are production house in charge of extreme sports eg. Rally, skateboard etc. So, they only have 1 shot at a time and dare not risk with Ultra.

If you're normal user with sports such as scuba diving, fishing, then ultra will work good enough.

Market Rate:
Extreme Plus 16GB
Floating around RM129 ~ RM189 depending on dealer/supplier/microSD batch.

EXtionHD.com - RM169 [Original from Malaysia Distributor, Lifetime Warranty]

Extreme Plus 32GB
Floating around RM239 ~ RM279 depending on dealer/supplier/microSD batch.

EXtionHD.com - RM269 [Original from Malaysia Distributor, Lifetime Warranty]


If you're a LYN member, PM me and I will pass you a better price for microSD ultra/Extreme Plus as we're the authorised dealer.


ATTENTION: there's fake microSD in the market as original is starts from RM'1XX.

Hi Teng,

I won't recommend you go for 64GB, get any 16/32gb SDHC is safer as 64GB is the only microSD with SDXC format. we received a lot of whatsapp/calls where customer is travelling oversea and they realize their file is not recorded or file error.

PS: I will PM you our microSD price too.

I've read that people will have problem with the Sandisk Ultras as the write speed of 30MB/s is not consistent nor as advertised.
I'm using the Extreme 45MB/s R/W which is good enough for me. Haven't tested with Protune yet but I heard it'll work fine too

They kinda *updated* the list of recommended microSD. It used to introduce SanDisk ultra and lexar too. No worries, as long as your microSD is class 10 and can run around 20mbps + then good enough to use, unless you're planning for slow-mo or 4k

for 720p 120fps, i would recommend you go for SanDisk Extreme Plus (80mbps) for smooth recording as its averagely 0.9 megapixel per frame

please be aware, for SanDsik microSD, there's only 2 class 10 that is suitable for gopro

1) SanDisk Ultra microSD Class10 - Max 30mbps
2) SanDisk Extreme Plus microSD Class10 - Max 80mbps

Some of our customers came to us when camera shop sold them SanDisk Extreme SD card. It happens, the shop will claim because customer said they want Extreme card only and no exchange/refund policy. Please be extremely aware of this!!!!

I would advise against the Ultras for high res or high frame rate capture, from my research the Ultras are inconsistent and the speeds is not up to par as the manufacturer claim.
Maybe they got fake cards? I'm using Extreme and it's fine.

Take note the high write speed is what you are looking for. When the camera is capturing video it is writing to the card; when you are transferring files to a PC etc. then it will be reading.

The Extreme Plus 80MB/s is for READ speeds only, while write speed is at 50MB/s.
Also note on the size of the card in respect to the write speed, the bigger the capacity the faster the write speed, which is good.
Hence the minimum should be the Extreme for shooting high res & high frame rate, Plus & Pro wouldn't harm either, otherwise you'd be fine with the Ultras.

*R/W = Read/Write

Sandisk extreme pro:
8GB & 16GB - R/W 95MB/90MB

Sandisk extreme plus:
16GB - R/W 80MB/30MB
32GB & 64GB - R/W 80MB/50MB

Sandisk extreme:
16GB - R/W 45MB/30MB
32GB & 64GB - R/W 45MB/45MB

Sandisk ultra:
R/W 30MB/*write is lower than 30 as claimed by Sandisk* <<hence why the Ultras have problem with GoPros

I have 1 each of 16GB & 32GB Extreme, the 16GB as my backup. The 32GB one is working fine so far, but haven't really tested the 16GB one yet, and this reminds me to get to it soon.

haven't tested that with the Extreme, but if I'm able to record 1080P 60fps then 720P 120fps should not be a problem too.
I'll test that later if I have time.

do u use any snap-on filters for diving?
and what do u attach your camera to? I have the headstrap and thinking of using that when I dive, tested it in the pool and seems a bit risky as it might drop off if not tight enough, unless use with some additional strap

Can you confirm that only standard housing is available or you received both standard and underwater housing?

Thank you in advance.

Anybody else bought from Lazada? I am interested to buy the silver 3+, at RM910, but still waiting confirmation on what's in the box, link here

i bought exactly that item with the same price from lazada also.. I received both standard and underwater housing (2 different backdoors). Normal complete set in the box as u buy anywhere else. I totally satisfied with the price from lazada except their shipping took quite a long time. almost 20 days ++ for me...

Hey there, yes that's the one I ordered. Don't forget to sign up for the newsletter to receive additional RM 10 discount.
When I purchased mine, the price was RM 1,240.

Anyway, I haven't received my unit yet. Still waiting..
Placed my order on the 28th of March. I'm guessing its gonna take some time for it to arrive.

yup. its gonna take some time for it to arrive coz it is imported from Hong Kong if i'm not mistaken. Mine took around exactly 26 days to arrive. by the mean time, just call their customer service at 03 2614 4168 to ask for an update.

to be more accurate, it's just one housing but with 2 different backdoors, u can interchange them depending on usage. 1 for normal use (better audio recording) and 1 for underwater use.

I ordered a compact cam from their same distributor, probably have to wait awhile for it too.
Last time when I ordered my GoPro from Lazada it was direct supply by them, so I'd only waited a few days biggrin.gif

Try asking ExtionHD. I bought mine from a friend in China. If you are going to use helmets like extreme sports or water rafting, a helmet strap might be easier.

Just bought the silver 3+ after minor price cut to RM880 (minus additional 10 from voucher), let's see how long it will take, chose the COD option, from Lazada

Anybody has a guide on what to check once you have received a unit?

1. Check the serial number
2. Get microSD Card ready, on test
3. Test wifi with goPro apps
4. Anything else that is prone to problem? need to confirm before receiving item?

Thanks in advance

I can say its theoretically near to no warranty, even local retail shop imports have warranty from their supplier nod.gif

1) The merchant in Lazada based in HongKong,its geometrically & economically impossible they provide *Local Warranty*
2) Lazada don't care, they're just a marketplace, and they will divert the *warranty* to merchant, by referring (1), you have to send warranty to GoPro yourself, which was suppose to be free and now its going to cost you money.
3) Action Camera is a very unique product, it is a high risk camera (unless you used it mainly for selfie), just our store we receive crashed gopro by weekly basis. Warranty is always the 1st of your concern in action camera, and most importantly, buy from someone who knows the camera instead of some random dude who just want to close sales.

and most importantly,

we received several button faulty gopro from lazada recently laugh.gif thats why I say its theoretically near to no warranty

ps: Not trying to splash cold water here but just my 20 cent, there's always a reason why support your local business.

I stand by my believe that my gadgets won't fail me until I've used it satisfactorily and last for at least a year laugh.gif Hence I don't mind paying less for stuff from Lazada

I think they use it to automatically tilt the GoPro during time lapse to produce moving/sliding effect.

I ordered from Camera Paradise too: it was a compact camera and it arrived in less than a week. Guess I was lucky biggrin.gif
But I noticed the declared customs value was way lesser than what the price in Lazada, and more significantly the product box was not sealed. For all I know it could be a used/recon set. But it's working well so far and looks pretty new.
Was your GoPro box sealed?

do u use any snap-on filters for diving?
and what do u attach your camera to? I have the headstrap and thinking of using that when I dive, tested it in the pool and seems a bit risky as it might drop off if not tight enough, unless use with some additional strap

still looking for filter..coz i found out it was terrible to shot gopro beyond 10 meters..
for now i only hand it bare hand down below when i use it..if not, i'll put it back in my shorts pocket..btw last week dive at kk..mayb this tuesday dive at mataking, semporna drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif

Definitely not normal for it to do that.
I've shot continuously using the 1080p/30fps setting on both video and timelapse mode.
I was able to shoot up to 1 hour plus with a full battery charge.

Also, I use SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSD card.
Whats ur settings and type of microSD card u use?

hai, im using hero 3+. base on my experience, the hero 3+ was already enough... even some of the high vedio resolution (4k etc..) they 're just more than enough. If u prefer for just a normal vedio editing (extreme sport, hobby, etc..). well im suggesting hero 3+. unless u're very serius in vedio editing for commercial used.

im nt sure hw much is the price for hero 4. Hero 3+ were just around 1500. either way, if the price were abt the same.. then u jus go for Hero 4, i guess.

based on their past record, i think new version will release around october every year. you can check it out.

so it depends whether can you wait for not.. drool.gif

anyway, 3+ is gooding enough for me to shoot 1080p @ 60fps / 720p @ 120fps

4k those tak payah la.. even got 30fps i also won't use

Just wanna share my DIY floaty backdoor.
Cost for the whole thing... Errm....
RM 4.90 (heavy duty double sided tape)

YES, IT'S THAT EASY AND CHEAP!

I even have a good quality thread from one of my necklace to use it as a safety measure in case the floaty gets knocked off.
I made a loop and then place it around the GoPro housing hinge before I screw in the bolt. Works perfect!

Great idea, do you mind sharing the brand of the heavy duty double sided tape? To be honest, this is first time that I know such a thing exist, hehe, (the heavy duty part).

BTW, what do you use for the floater? polysterene? Thanks in advance,

For the floaty, I use the foam packaging that comes with your laptop/desktop/tv,...
But pls try it out in the water first, the one i'm using is very good. it floats straight back up with my gopro attached when I push it down the water.
I'm not sure what material its made of.

Just a suggestion here, maybe you can silicon dip the foam, then it'll look better.

Hi guys, I'm planning to get a GoPro soon. However I have some questions..

1. Does the camera comes with the waterproof housing or do I need to purchase i separately?

2. As for the battery? There's only one battery provided right?

3. Is there any mount included as well?

4. Does the camera comes with Memory Card? If yes? What memory card is that? Is it the same memory card used in DSLR? (SDHC Card?)

5. If the mount is not included? Any recommendation which mount would be the best for me to record my trekking trip to on a volcano and also diving? I saw some and I don't think I wanna wear a helmet haha
