The Hero 3. I was looking at the session 4 which is around the same price but the Hero 3 has a touch more functionality.

Yes, Boll. I will be attempting to do this.

Watch this space...

Problem is the size/weight. That's what drew me to the session. All about hownyou intend to use it I guess.

Hi ...the above Youtube Video..is the New Year Annual Group ride in Perth WA..
The ride is regularly on 4 to 5 days a week normally.
New Years ride is around 100 to 200 cyclists.sometimes.
The speed, wattage( power outlet) also heart rate monitor..whilst on the ride.
Usually average 45 to 50 kmh..I think it is called "Strava"

Its worth a look, you can see why its hard for some cyclists to stop .
The rider with the camera is around 45 y/old..Max heart rate is 220..his is around 150 to 175 on ride..
Enjoy..camera's are useful.

^Well you did want to be trendy, didn't you? Sell it, and buy 2 git2 pros.

You're all a bunch of amateurs.

But if you wait a few weeks, they might try and bring out a competitor to the Samsung 360 VR; otherwise they are going down the gary glitter.

That looks like one of those hoover things that cats sit on on You Tube.

Unfortunately I don’t believe we will have a marine biologist with us (as pictured in the video).

The hunt is still on. Another scheduled trip to the Gulf of Thailand, trip to the Philippines and where we are sure to see them, in Belize.

Amazon's got this pack:

Cheers. But does come w/ extra batt & carrying case?


Camera only is listed at $399 on Amazon right now...standard warranty.

My bad...Just noticed theres 2 models, the hero 5 session and the hero 5 black. The latter is 15000 baht so your deal doesnt look too bad now

What will you use it for Hick?

The DJI Spark is out now and available starting at 18900 baht. You will need spare batteries though at 2500 baht each as they only last 15 minutes.

Im toying with buying one but thinking do i really need that Facebook selfie shot of me on my inflatable unicorn, plus theres not a lot of scope to miss the pool or trees

Desert camp outs, Red Sea snorkeling/diving, got Alaska next week, NYC and Dubai...Namibia should happen next year, Antarctica the following...

I'd get it out (minimum) 4 x a year, but I don't really bike or do much motion stuff other than hiking, driving and a little diving.

I think it'd be worth it and complement my DSLR pretty well.

The main critique (and I've heard the same from a friend):

The ugly (-2)
- At any light lower than near-direct sunlight, digital grain is visible. When in the shade or when it is cloudy, the quality is noticeably worse than in sunlight. Think of the grain as like a fine paint daub look, circa 2010 phone cameras. Yes, it can shoot 4K at a 60 Mb/s bitrate, but even downscaled to 1080p, the digital grain is noticeable. See what I mean in the attached video. My phone, Galaxy S7, takes far better video than the GoPro in lower-light settings. However, no phone camera beats the wide-angle, waterproofing, and general versatility of this camera.

That said, I'm about an inch from pulling the trigger.

Done

Well,...doesn't really qualify Dill. I've had my eye on one of these (and competitors) for quite a while, yeah.
