Swansea boyo!

I'm investing in a GoPro Hero 3+ tomorrow to take to IMM with me and use for the mini on runs ect. Has anyone got some in car/mounted footage or any good videos to share? Any tips too? It's going to be so strange not having a screen to look at (I'm already aware you can buy one though!)

Warwick.

Download the phone App, you can set your angles using that. just remember if you keep using the WIFI for running of the app, the battery will disappear sharpish! I always set my camera with the WIFI, tighten the lock screws with a screw driver and then turn off the wifi in order to maintain the longest battery life.
It always takes some time to get used to, and although you can film in 4K on the black edition, theres little point, all you end up doing is compressing your videos so great that wheny ou try play them back on the laptop/computer etc, it can be a struggle (off load the file from the micro SD to your computer- uncompress- run in VLC media player which tends to cope better )
I tend to film in a lower res with a higher frame rate

Consider investing in spare batterys with a seperate wall charger/car charger too.

Yeah I've read people have issues with memory cards not being able to cope? Yeah I'll pick up a spare battery as they only do just over two hours of HD recoring on one battery from the info I got online and that's not going to be enough for 4 days without power *tongue*

Get one, they are fantastic!

Got no in car footage, have only used it swimming with my baby.

Regarding a memory card, I just got a high speed one from aldi when they came in, nice cheapo but has kept up with everything recorded at 1080p 60frps

This is what I was hoping for (: is yours just mounted to your roll cage? The quality looks good on this even though it's an older model which is good!

I'm getting the hero3+ black, figured I may as well get the best one as I've heard the 4 is coming out next year (in car plus out of car view maybe *tongue*)

I think the cheapest place to get a 3+ black is on amazon at the moment.

I managed to get the black 3+ with wifi remote yesterday for £200 after looking for a while and have to admit, getting the thing off the top of the box took me far longer than it should have!

Need to pop to the shop and get a SD card now.

All of the blacks come with the wifi remote *tongue*. I was worried I was going to break it! I got the app to work too, I was trying to connect to it via my home wifi instead of the camera!
