I bought the Go Pro three as it size, spec and various accessories was ideal for my requirements. I have mainly used it as a safety tool for my cycle commute to work, the camera fits nicely on the handle bars of my bike. I also use it for scuba diving, the water proof housing is great for the depths that we dive and is durable enough for the riggers of a dive boat. additional accessories were easily attainable, custom filters etc to counter act the white balance issues at depth. The downside was down loading the software updates and syncing the Go Pro, but once achieved, the clever smart phone live view and control function soon over came the effort.
My son bought this with his hard-saved pocket money, as he loves film and photography. He ended up using it for his GCSE Art project, and intends to use it for A level photography. What you get for your money is extremely good value: high quality time-lapse and slow motion video. However, to fit this into the price they've had to sacrifice some basic features: 1 - no viewfinder whatsoever, it's point, shoot and hope. 2 - there's no sleep/wakeup function, so extended time-lapse (e.g. 1 frame per hour for 2 days) isn't possible, as the battery runs down. 3 - the battery life is miserable, even with the extension pack I think it's only 2 hours. We're looking at ways of wiring it up to a DC supply for extended functioning, but that will involve soldering and electronics. Finally, every so often it starts producing corrupted video files. Apparently these can be recovered. However, my son was given a gift of a helicopter ride recently, and was very excited to take video from the cockpit with this camera. But, when he got back down to earth, all the video he shot was corrupted, and we haven't managed to unscramble it yet. He was very disappointed. On the whole, though, we still rate it as excellent value, way ahead of anything else available in this price bracket, we've had a lot of fun with it, and it's getting him good exam grades in his art for an affordable price. Just don't try to shoot that once-in-a-generation news event, like the Berlin Wall coming down, with it just in case the files are corrupted ;-)Vollständige Rezension lesen
Having read some bad reviews of GoPros sold as refurbished I was somewhat nervous ordering this, however it is as new. The image quality in good lighting is excellent for both video and still shots. Excellent value for money compared to purchase of a new camera, albeit without all the latest bells and whistles.
Bestätigter Kauf: Ja | Artikelzustand: Generalüberholt
The camera is really good in most respects and the only reason I have not rated it higher is due to the difficulty that I have experienced understanding how to operate it and in particular using the settings. There is an app that looks to make everything simpler to do using an iphone, but I don't yet have one. I did read a write up on the remote that can be bought and felt that the outlay would be wasted as it would not be used enough with my current Kayaking requirement. I use VLC player to play back video and still shots and also find this a little confusing. I'm sure that time will enable a better understanding of all the above. It would have been nice to have been supplied with an SD card instead of having to get one as an additional item. The camera does not function without it!! There seem to be a multitude of accessories------why are some not supplied as standard items. The floaty back would seem an obvious thing and very cheap to make, but not cheap to buy. I have bought 3 spare batteries, but to be honest, I have not found battery life to be too bad for my usage. I have a 32gb SD card installed and another as a spare. I have not yet found that the spare has been needed as I remove everything from the card after downloading to the PC. The cover over the Micro ports seems to be a sure thing to loose as I am forever forgetting to replace it after downloading. Playback can be "jumpy" if done from the camera to a PC. This does not happen if the HDMI connection to the TV is used. Downloading to the PC is recommended.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This review is based on the December 12 firmware and a 64gb Sandisk (class 10) memory card. I saved for a while to get this after having used my friend's HD Hero camera and seeing footage from Hero 2 cameras. I was very excited when the package arrived and was anticipating many carefree days out in the woods followed by evenings of simple editing... My camera needed an update straight out of the box. This was no big deal and after a very simple process to do this I familiarised myself with the functions of the camera again easy to set up the functions and even easier with the iPhone app through wireless. The remote is also simple to use. Packaging is good but I was disapointed to not have even a head strap in the box but I suppose once a company makes a name for itself they don't need to include so many accessories! I was already aware that battery life on these can be short so I had pre-purchased extra batteries and a wall charger. Next day I went out on a ride and quite frankly I was so disapointed that by the time I had been out for an hour and a half I chucked the gopro into my backpack in absolute disgust! The camera routinely froze just after it had been started; this meant stopping in the rain to open the case, remove the battery cover, take the battery out, put the battery in again, and then remount the camera again... not easy in the cold and rain on a bike track in Scotland! By the tenth time (Literally!) I had had enough. When the camera was not freezing it would often just decide to stop filming of its own accord so there was simply no reliability of use and these issues render the camera completely useless in the water environment. I had tried the camera on many different settings and all appeared to be affected by the freezing. The footage I did get home with was great quality but absolutely not worth having ruined my ride for. Some of the freezes resulted in error files and not footage so most of the cool bits of video were absent from my card. I have emailed gopro support and was sent a generic reply asking me to update the firmware and then asking me for details I had already given in my original email. I believe all the problems to be firmware related at this time but have been ignored by gopro when I asked if there was one coming out any time soon. I have taken the camera out several times since and it still refuses to work properly despite manually updating firmware several times and reformatting memory cards time and time again. In summary: I have spent a lot of money on something that was going to get a lot of use but at this time it is unuseable. I no longer take the camera out with me because I like to enjoy my bike rides. The GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition is a beautifully engineered and manufactured piece of electronic equipment that will (until an update is released) make any discerning sportsman an excellent paper weight and or ornament. If however you want a camera or video to record your efforts... This is definitely not fit for purpose at this time. I read a lot of reviews before buying this and I really wish I had believed them and been £400 better off because of it!!!Vollständige Rezension lesen
