Unless he's going to be doing higher end production stuff with it i's stick with a silver. I have the black, but never use the protune or advanced modes, as I don't have the time to do any post production.

Hey mate, bought the hero 3+ black with the remote for work and then decided that it needed the video screen to make it easier to see the setup of what you are recording. I have used it for driver training videos. The remote control is good.

I would certainly buy the same for myself....

crtsd · June 20, 2014, 02:59:24 PM

The silver 3+ has wifi built in, so you can use the gopro app (apple or android) to setup and start / finish.

I've found with the remote that I have the battery life of it is garbage and it runs out before the camera does.

Definitely a 3+ Silver or black .. I went for silver as it has a high enough resolution for what I want

NewieCamper · June 20, 2014, 09:19:33 PM

I've been happy with my hero3 white. Don't have any real need for the extra. I use it for. MTB riding and as a safety cam while commuting to work by bike. Sure the silver or black would have Ben nice, but I couldn't justify the extra $ until I knew I was going to use it enough. White still has wifi.

For what it's worth I've just bought the latest Sony action cam after comparing all the different options out there.

http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod10712.htm

In my opinion the Sony produced the same, if not better quality images and comes with a wrist mounted LCD monitor for the same price as the GoPro without the optional "backpack". As far as mounting options, the camera includes both helmet and flat surface mounts. You can also screw a little RAM mount ball into the base of the camera and the options for RAM mounts are endless.

GoPro is huge now - every single extreme sport has them by the hundreds. I love mine, and think the video/image quality is incredible. It will be interesting to see how Sony go - they have a long way to catch up in sales!

I notice even with the waterproof housing they are only suited to 5 metres. Also, Gopro has higher definition video. The wrist watch looks cool though - amazed at how technology is developing. I can't wait to see the cameras in 10 years!

yeah the technology is certainly developing all the time, i just saw this linked on another forum https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/giroptic/the-worlds-first-full-hd-360-camera

SteveandViv · June 21, 2014, 11:08:23 AM

But look at the price difference between the black and silver as we got the black for only a few bucks more so went with that other wise the silver is great as well

Amazing. It's obvious by the money they've raised already that these are going to be seriously popular

Just be careful with the new range now guys. The GoPro range has changed dramatically and the new Hero4 black is designed purely for professionals. Hence the just under $700 price point.
However if you are just after a cheepie they now have the Hero at around $200.

Cheers

I recently looked for one for my daughter. Unless they are seriously into photography, i'd have a look at the base model Hero thats new. It has all of the main functions , without the price tags of the silver or black.
