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.

Checking in! HERO2 Motorsports user.
 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  )This post has been edited by patienceGNR: Apr 11 2013, 05:53 AM |

QUOTE(rx330 @ May 22 2013, 02:34 PM) yes, he did pass me the lcd, phone wise, he cant remember the wifi password, hahahahha 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 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 ? |

QUOTE(LegendLee @ May 27 2013, 09:30 PM) What do you mean by not interchangeable ? 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.I can use the bacpac battery, and when it runs out, switch to regular battery right ? 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 QUOTE(DarkEmotion88 @ May 28 2013, 10:20 AM) 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.  it doesn't work on hero3? that sux. |

QUOTE(winterdotcom @ May 28 2013, 01:13 PM) 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. Ah, I get what you mean thanks.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 it doesn't work on hero3? that sux.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 . 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  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. |

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.

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.

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. |

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... |

GoPro 3 Black user here.
Sharing two of my videos taken in Tioman 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  Am planning to do a macro set up for my GP3 but it's not cheap  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. |

Anywhere I can get Gopro accessories in KL
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 ? thanks |

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 This post has been edited by akay877: Jun 29 2013, 08:54 AM |

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

If anyone is interested, I have an extra set of GoPro HD Hero 3 Silver. Already have two other GoPros and didn't end up using the third, so still brand new in box.

Why are people bragging about flaws?
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? |

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? 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.

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 ) 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 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? |

Post edit done entirely on iPhone - some sharpening, exposure setting, and conversion to B&W.
Performance is pretty good, especially since I shot in low light conditions. Here's a link to 2048px: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5531/1044285...6039e05fc_k.jpg |

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? |

Any thoughts or experience? 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! https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hpho...090819021_n.jpg |

dear sifus, im new here..just bought one. any recommendation for microsd brand and model? i know there are a few models advertised/recommended by gopro.com ;
SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC (SDSDQX-032G) SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSDXC (SDSDQX-064G) Samsung 64GB SDXC (MB-MGCGB/AM) (havent seen Lexar & Delkin in malaysia) but i would like to have your opinion which one would be great for my black hero 3? does read/write speed affected the photo/video quality? planning to get 2x 32gb card instead of 64gb 1 piece please advise, many thanks! |

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..SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC (SDSDQX-032G) SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSDXC (SDSDQX-064G) Samsung 64GB SDXC (MB-MGCGB/AM) (havent seen Lexar & Delkin in malaysia) but i would like to have your opinion which one would be great for my black hero 3? does read/write speed affected the photo/video quality? planning to get 2x 32gb card instead of 64gb 1 piece please advise, many thanks! 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 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..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 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 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 :/ |

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!

Won't even turn on! maybe ..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 . 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 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 |

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. |

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 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? |

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.. |

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 |

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? |

QUOTE(arafat @ Jan 20 2014, 10:22 PM) hi @sayangnessi am interested to get 1 unic 3+ black who is the official distributor in malaysia? where do u recommend me to buy it? 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 ..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.. |

Received my Hero3+ BE today from Lazada!
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 This was my second time ordering from them, so far both were good. Bubble-wrapped packaging and fast delivery both times  |

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

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.. |

QUOTE(scpt @ Feb 6 2014, 11:12 PM) Received my Hero3+ BE today from Lazada! very good bargain 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 This was my second time ordering from them, so far both were good. Bubble-wrapped packaging and fast delivery both times got sirim sticker? |

QUOTE(db07mufan @ Feb 9 2014, 11:37 AM) Thanks, let me get this straight. not sure. Check their website to find out1) 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 ! Pardon my ignorance, can we still get the RM150 voucher from LAZADA? Thanks a lot peeps! QUOTE(LinTao @ Feb 9 2014, 01:08 PM) it actually is enough to make a really good video..just need to learn how to use properly first macbook air/pro? which year model? ..but my macbook cannot tahan if use the GoPro Studios too long it will crash..that day I spent so long making the video and the thing crashed ..but if you have a decent laptop or pc then it's okI'm thinking of getting the latest Air and will definitely use it to edit videos in the future |

QUOTE(scpt @ Feb 7 2014, 10:30 PM) this one is sold & fulfilled by Lazada, so package & delivery should be direct from them. Wow... I wonder how the warranty goes But on the GoPro package there is a sticker from Funsportz, so I'm guessing that's their supplier. Pretty good deal from Lazada. Thanks for sharing |

LCD Bacpac is an add-on screen.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?

Pardon my ignorance, can we still get the RM150 voucher from LAZADA? Thanks a lot peeps! 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. |

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.

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 |

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.. |

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.

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

I'm really impressed with the quality of the video. did you use protune and edit it in post?Here's a video I took in the swimming pool, at 60fps. <video width="960" height="540" controls><source src="https://forum.lowyat.net/videos/20140223%20-%20pool%20session%202.mp4"> type="video/mp4"></video> |

QUOTE(LinTao @ Mar 3 2014, 11:27 PM) 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. hmm, seems like alot of things to buy. Cool.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? |

Cool. 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 |

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. Most importantly, the accessories is great. |

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! |

[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. |

PS: I will PM you our microSD price too. |

Haven't tested with Protune yet but I heard it'll work fine too QUOTE(pakutekan @ Mar 29 2014, 02:59 PM) Last time I saw at gopro website stated samsung micro sd. Im using that particular card. But now I dont see that card on the list.. 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 |

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. This post has been edited by scpt: Mar 29 2014, 08:57 PM |

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 |

Have been eyeing for one for quite a while, and the price is pretty good now. I can say its theoretically near to no warranty, even local retail shop imports have warranty from their supplier 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 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. |

QUOTE(wintzen @ Apr 3 2014, 03:10 PM) How does the warranty works if purchased from Lazada? Have been eyeing for one for quite a while, and the price is pretty good now. Haha my friend just bought one 3+ silver from lazada today, RM869-100= RM 769. I also asked him hows the warranty? he also say unsure and gonna find out. farking dirt cheap!QUOTE(shahxy @ Apr 4 2014, 08:28 PM) I went to Ikea at the curve yesterday but to search for that kind of egg timer but already out of stock.. so i just bought this kind of egg timer and did some modification on that to fit my gopro.. Its made of plastic and cost me only rm2.. Hey bro. I got that too becos the alu one finish. but this doesnt work well though. unreliable. the spring tend to jump back to original when you are doing time lapse halfway.

Hey yeap. purposely post here to say HI to you. hehe I can say its theoretically near to no warranty, even local retail shop imports have warranty from their supplier 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 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. Hey guys buy from EXtionHD! they provide the best customer service and really care bout their customers. QUOTE(azrash @ Apr 5 2014, 11:25 PM) fuish, what is your drone setup? do you go in with the camera blind or the camera is connected via wifi to a phone on the ground to see the shot's angle etc?

I ordered from Camera Paradise too: it was a compact camera and it arrived in less than a week. Guess I was lucky 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? This post has been edited by scpt: Apr 8 2014, 09:07 AM |

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 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 |

QUOTE(wen_pin_s @ Apr 17 2014, 12:22 PM) Is it normal for my hero 3+ black to be freezing and turning off and on by itself? I suspect it's the Micro SD card. 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? This post has been edited by teng_08: Apr 17 2014, 12:57 PM |

QUOTE(rickarch @ Apr 17 2014, 02:56 PM) hi fellow members, 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. I'm planning to get a Hero 3+ Black or should I wait for Hero 4 instead? any idea when Hero 4 will be launch? thanks & have a nice day. 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. cheers~ |

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! This post has been edited by teng_08: Apr 19 2014, 04:21 PM |

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, QUOTE(teng_08 @ Apr 19 2014, 04:21 PM) Just wanna share my DIY floaty backdoor. Cost for the whole thing... Errm....

Thanks in advance, http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Heavy-Duty-Mo...r/dp/B00004Z4BU 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 |
