Gotta Love the Old GoPro Hero 2! Who's still using theirs??

[HarrisonHoude]

AHHH I am totally going to buy this, it will be a great addition for those shots for a short film, video, etc.. and also a TON of fun for recording snowboarding, water events, etc!

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm in love with a camera <3

Very smart that you guys managed to keep the form factor the same so that all of our current HD Hero equipment will still work with this new body. Will definitely be picked a couple of these up when they're available as camera only.

12/24/2015 still the best overall GOPRO hero. Now that we're up to the hero 4. For most humans on earth, this has and will do everything you want. Add what you want, with bac-paks. dont add if you want super battery power.

STILL THE BEST

I was going to buy one last week. My seller informed me that a new one was on the way, what a top bloke.

[frosty]

me still using this camera in 2021 not able to buy a new one

@yz250fstarcross We use the 16GB. 16GB get about as much video as you're going to get from a day or riding, skiing, etc. If you're going to be filming all-day or for production uses, then we recommend you get a couple of 16GBs. That way you can be off-loading one while you're recording on the other. And if you lose one, you still have one. Just remember to go with the Class 10 cards. They seem to work better in certain cases, such as the camera burst mode (10 frame/sec stills)

You have eliminated any issues I would have had.
I was going to buy a new guitar, but I am now getting on of these!

@mikeyrocks360 You can purchase the LCD back panel from GoPro. It works really well, but you don't always need it... so without it, the HERO2 can be lighter, less expensive, and still have the option of a separate viewer/LCD panel.

[HaleyIsaak]

how much recording space do you have with a 16GB sd card

[justanoddkid]

Good to know a new GoPro came out right after I bought the 1080p GoPro..

[bikeskills]

@ringmaster012 We stick with 1080 / 30 fps for - action sports - at 170 FOV. That way you get everything and at the highest res. The smaller FOV settings are actually "crops" so you're not actually getting the effects of a zoom lens, just a cropped image. For slow mo, we use 60 fps at 720.

looks intuitive. and I really appreciate devices with the least ammount of button

[bedarda]

I received mine last week ( HumbleOutdoors $270 w/free battery)

So impressed with this unit, mounted on my Mountain bike, the Hero2 gave me studio like resolution. Watch out Warren Miller this shred season!
