What gopro and from where

[megatexture]

As the title says whats the best gopro out ATM and where is the best/ cheapest place to buy one?
We're getting one for my father inlaws birthday and we would prefer to purchase it from a shop or somewhere with a fixed address for warranty reasons rather than some random on ebay or the like.

any info would be great .

Cheers fellas ,

Troy

Hey Mega. Can't comment whats the best one at the moment. I'll assume it's the GoPro 3 black ?? Someone can correct me.
I've got the HD 2 and when I was in the market for it I shopped around and Jb Hifi gave me the best deal. Maybe give them a go ?

[Warwick89]

X2 would be very interested in this, want to get one before the weekend. First time Zeus (nickname for the trol we thought of because I'm proud of the lights lol) will be off-road since the purchase is this weekend.

I would stick with the silver. if you can get a pack with the wifi remote then even better. The black sounds great but to be honest your father in law will not use a 1/4 of the features of the Silver and the quality of the silver to the black is almost beyond the human eye and certainly beyond 99% of the TVs out there.

What's the diffrence between black and silver other than resolution ?

He is verry much Into his technology lol and gets the latest iPhone as it comes out... Yes he's one of them ... Lmao

[megatexture]

There's about 100$ diffrence between Harvey Norman and jb hifi jb is winning so far

[Stropp]

If that's the case go the black and try dick smith, I got $100 off one from there a few weeks back!

But.........Hes not really buying it for the father in law to use (haha)


Mega, The frame rate and resolution is the big difference, to get to a decent frame rate on a silver , you need to select 4:3 ratio (square instead of widescreen) , non widescreen is pretty much not cool anywhere these days !

Id go a Black plus if he is a really top bloke and will let you use it like you hope ?

[Drewboyaus]

Is that for the Silver?

:wink:

[megatexture]

Love it! Lmao or should I buy all the accessories for the go pro he would get then tell him all he needs is to buy the camera lol

[04OFF]

Yeh, just tell him you knew he'd never had a action camera before............................................ ...... so you kept the gopro yourself, and got him the "Go-Amateur" ! :wink:

[Lonicus]

Not sure how it is now but when I was looking at them there was about $100 difference between the silver and black and the black came with the wifi remote, which cost about $80 alone.

[Drewboyaus]

That's a good price from JB.....

[megatexture]

Yea I was kinda surprised they were so much lower than the others. I've looked up the - good guys, kmart, big W and a few others and not many have them

[Clunk]

Just go back to Harvey Norman and get them to better the price from JB hi-fi, you should also be able to get them to chuck in a couple of other items at a heavily reduced price or get them to give you free extended warranty......... keep an eye out on their websites for pricing

[BigRAWesty]

X2 with clunk. HN should price match and then try em for cheap accessories.

[BigRAWesty]

And do you get editing software with the gopro??

[Stropp]

and if he has an iphone or ipad he can get the free gopro app to see what the gopro sees while driving along and to operate it, the best accessory there and its free.

[04OFF]

And do you get editing software with the gopro??

Gopro Cineform Studio is free from the gopro web site, personally, ive had better success just using windows movie maker (also free) , but i must admit, i have not used the very latest software download of Cineform yet.

[megatexture]

I ended up getting a gopro 3+ black edition came with a remote and handlebar mount from Harvey Norman and paid extra for a 3 year replacement warranty(I’ve seen him ride and this is definitely needed) for $600 .... i just wish it was for me lol

Cheers for your help

[Warwick89]

Anyone know of a good deal on the black edition this week??

[megatexture]

I don't want to know if there is a deal now lmao

[Warwick89]

Hahaha sorry mega but I missed the jbhifi special and have actually talked her into getting one now.

[megatexture]

They are still prob going to be the cheapest .

[Warwick89]

Cheers mega just going to have to let her go get one I'm not going to have the time now.

[megatexture]

I did manage to get them to throw in a pack of mounts also, but with the go pro 3+ everyone's around the same price give or take a few bucks
