Looks really nice. Much more stylish than previous models. 120fps on 720p is sick.
on my want list.
they are some outrageous stats
4K @ 15 fps not even worth claiming I reckon. 1080@60 or 720@120 would be awesome, though. Time to ebay the GoPro2?
they are some outrageous stats
Must repeat, these aren’t official…just saw them on the fluidzone report about it and someone had found them on a mountain bike site. Best be waiting for official words before getting toooooo excited. Hopefully it is correct or not far off.
From what the major community of online blogs is offering, you look to be pretty spot on cords! all will be revealed in an hour anyways!
another pic showing the remote and housing. It looks sick!
holy hats that was phenomenal
Siiiick movie.
Very impressive! Picture quality looks amazing (would love to see some real world raw footage) just wish they would move away from the cube shape!
Think I know what I’m buying myself for Christmas/Birthday….
Wow! and only a week after they (FINALLY) came good with wifi in Australia.
Knowing the market I don’t expect it to be workable in the real world for 3-6 months.
BUT; It could be a well kept secrete.
Research and my contacts yet to be done/contacted.
Being the worlds no.#1 selling camera with epic marketing behind them (and I have a deep admiration for the founder of GoPro) I’ll be (again) contacting our distributors and GoPro international.
