New GoPro Hero 2

Avatar

How you use a GoPro is only limited by your imagination!!!!!

Do you get to the beach at all lano????? Skate, ride a bike, drive a car, ride a motorbike…........... do I need to list them all?????

If a point and shoot could easily replace a “helmet cam”, then there would be no such market for the likes of the GoPro, Drift, VIO etc etc!!!!!

Like I said before lano, grab a HD Hero for half the price and bring home the memories!!!!!  shaka

does anyone know by any chance cheapest place to buy go pro 2, so fat i found it for $356 well i found it but they all sold out and i called 10 shops so far and all sold out ?

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

i am going for 7 nights ...

Rental would be less than half the cost of a cam+pole+SD card. The way I do rentals includes an option to purchase minus the rental costs so if you like the product can test it on your trip and pay the difference if you decide you want one. All purchases come with warranty.

Or..

If you buy a cam off me before you go you can claim back Duty Free on top of the discount I offer.

It’s true that it is easily stole!

and do you have a website or something(maybe pm me??) so I can compare the prizes?

My website is constantly 6months out of date. (Terribly unprofessional I know) because I do it myself as well as everything else (shooting, editing, producing dvds, being a dad, posting and moderating on BW, research, chasing suppliers, tinkering, inventing, working part time (20-30hr/week), photography and sometimes sleeping).

Anyways most of the good deals I offer on Boardworld can’t be advertised - I have to be careful about posting prices and things to keep the manufacturers and competition happy.
PM coming your way soon.

How easily you underestimate the power of marketing and the law of Natural Selection which has left humans hardwired to act like sheep due to our survival instinct of “safety in numbers” and follow the leader.

GoPro is a P&S camera that replaced dedicated helmet cameras. Deny it all you want, facts wont change, neither will the history of point of view camera systems.
Your only going to increase the size of your flock if you convince anyone otherwise.

It’s amazing how the advocates of using point and shoot cameras, choose only to share their footage that was taken using helmet cams!!!!!

And how a VIO is any different from a GoPro in regards to the category, and is somehow not a point and shoot yet a GoPro is, just astounds me!!!!!
