if u have powder then you’ll use it. However, if you just want snaps then get a camera. most of the new ones do decent video too.

well does Australia have powder not really lol, so yeah who knows how ofter i will be using it ...

i would say go with a small point and shoot cam instead.

i only use my gopro on big powder days and I didn’t use it once the rest of the entire year

^I support this view.


I’m still chasing GoPro suppliers, the list I have is thinning down - maybe if I get all BWM to cross their fingers the next couple will come up trumps. Some haven’t replied yet and there is one within travelling distance that I’m going to visit in person.

How long you going to Japan for, have you considered renting?
The other option is to get a DriftHD.
