GoPro Hero2 or Hero3?

I gotta buy a gopro today and cant decide on what one to go with. Its either I get the hero2 sports edition or the hero3 white. I will be using it for drifting, motocross, surfing, snowboarding, speed flying (a mini paraglider).

Hero 2

I need some recommendations

Thnx

Definitely get the 3.

If you plan to use it in water, that alone is reason to get the 3. The housing on the 2 is round which adds a vignette effect under water. The 3 is flat.

If it’s between the 2 and 3 white then i’d get the 2…

However the Black is super badass and I’d recommend that. I have 3 of them.

Where do you speedfly at?

Hero 2
30 fps 1080p / 48 fps 960p / 60 fps 720p /120 fps WVGA
Hero3 White
1080p 30 fps / 960p 30 fps / 720p 60 fps

Hero2
10 11MP Photos Per Second Burst
1 11MP Photo Every 0.5 Sec Timelapse Mode

Hero3 white
5MP photo capture with 3 fps burst

The white also has:
Wi-Fi Built-In
Wi-Fi Remote Compatible (sold separately)
GoPro App Compatible (FREE)

But not really worth it IMHO.

thanks guys

I got the hero2 wifi combo since the hero3 white was sold out.

I speed fly off the cliffs of the Niagara escarpment in Hamilton

:tup: to Speed-flying, looks fun.

Good choice. What size wing do you fly? I have always wanted to speedfly, I didn’t really think about doing it anywhere locally. What’s the elevation drop there?

I have heard that the silver and white are just re-bodied hero 2’s but with wifi built in. Best buy and future shop had the hero2 motorsports edition with the wifi remote and wifi back pac. smoking deal considering just the hero 2 is well over 200. Can’t wait to get rippin with this combined with my Contour HD.

My Hero 3 Black arrived Christmas Eve. It is a huge improvement over the 2. Form factor alone is reason enough to buy the 3 in my opinion.

I fly a JN HellRacer 12.8. Its kinda fast for this area but it just ads to the fun lol. I would say the elevation drop is around 200-300ft. Here is a vid of me flying at centenial park (more fun when the winds are SE 40kmh) and a bit of the escarpment.
