genepires Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 So is there a difference between the GoPro HD Hero2 Outdoor Edition and the regular hero naked model? (besides the $100 difference at rei) New to this kind of gear so the descriptions make no sense to me. thanks in advance, gene Quote
Tyson.g Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Hey gene, I will look at mine tonight and see what model it is and compare the specs. One thing I would highly recommend is the add on view screen as the device comes with no way to view or review the footage until downloaded to your pc. That is my biggest complaint. The button functions and operating controls are somewhat cryptic and require some memorization as to their functions. I often have to refer to the instructions. Quote
Alex Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 the "non-nakked" versions just come with assortments of mounts. so if you know exactly how youll use it and which mounts you need, best get the naked, then uy specific mounts online. only two mounts ive used so far are the bike/handlebar mount,and headstrap.

iceaxe23 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Make sure the regular hero naked model is the hero2 and not just the hero. hero2 has more resolution and features Quote

(besides the $100 difference at rei) New to this kind of gear so the descriptions make no sense to me. thanks in advance, gene There seems to be a huge difference. Read the specs on the boxes side by side. Anyway, check out this video. I've been going back and forth between the two and think i'm going to pick up a Hero2 tomorrow. Seems to handle light changes quicker and work better in low light. 11MP camera compared to 5 if your doing still shots. Quote
CaleHoopes Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Hey, any go pro owners out there monkey with different mounts for climbing? I recently climbed in Ouray and mounted on the top of the helmet. Some of the climbing is pretty good - but I'm wondering about the front mount on the helmet. Anyone? Quote
wetslide Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Cale- I have a head-lamp style attachement that works great for climbing and skiing. It basically is exactly like a headlamp except it's for a go-pro instead of a light. linky Quote
CaleHoopes Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Is that what you used on your Chair Peak video? Hey, and I hope to see you at VW Redmond sometime - I don't climb above 5.10a yet, but I'm gettin there... Nice video on the Chair Peak climb. I need to put together my multi-pitch climb from Ouray but I haven't done the video editing yet. Quote
wetslide Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Cale- Thanks man ya that is what I used to take the chair peak video, along with all my other videos. Ya I'm at VW Redmond quite a bit. I can be found at VW Seattle some days as well. Quote
