New GoPro Hero 2

wont it get in the way of the mask??

I just tried it with my goggles and its fine, the guys set up in the youtube clip looks good butn you would have to get goggles with a big plastic part at the top

I agree with head strap then cbf going get new goggles n stuff

I want to see plenty of footage when you get it!! 

I hope I will get plenty of footage and I hope I’ll get some to share :D

What are people’s thoughts on the LCD bacpac?  I might be picking up a cam in the next couple of weeks and am not sure whether to get the bacpac or not.  For just snow footage I can see it not being necessary, but for snorkelling and general ass-clownery, wouldn’t it be good to have?  I was thinking about skipping it and waiting for the wifi bacpac but you can’t really use your smartphone as a viewfinder when in the water.

Personally I have lived fine without it!!!!!

The only reason for havin it would be so ya can watch footage that ya have just taken!!!!! Somethin that ya can do onec it’s uploaded to ya device of choice anyway!!!!!

If ya have the dough to throw around, by all means get one, but I think that there are heaps of other accessories that I would rather have first!!!!!

What about framing your shots?  Don’t need it because of the wide FOV?

Yep!!!!!! 

I’ve only heard bad things about GoPro’s underwater footage with the stock housing. There is a aftermarket manufacturer that makes a housing that allows the GoPro to focus correctly.

Yeah I’ve read about those.  I think they use a flat lens that replaces the existing curved lens on the outer waterproof case.

gopro2 is way better than the gopro hd. it’s clearer and the whites don’t blow out in bluebird conditions (only had one day with it though)

good to know, gamblor.

what other accessories are you guys rocking?  I was thinking the wrist strap might be good for the surf.

I will be getting a gopro 2 pretty soon. Can’t wait!!
