Mikki_ZH 0 #2 October 31, 2011 yes, but only real live base jumping (WS jump) with it. I tried the new video resulution setting 960 - 48 (1280 x 960). I was very happy with this setting...Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyrus79 0 #3 October 31, 2011 Can you confirm if the new model still has a yellow(ish) tinge to the video?? Mine, and others I've seen (GoPro HD 1080) always seems to record in a warmer temperature tone... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flow 1 #4 October 31, 2011 QuoteMine, and others I've seen (GoPro HD 1080) always seems to record in a warmer temperature tone Haven't noticed on my videos? Only if the lighting conditions are poor then the video has a little yellow tone, but on a normal daylight, I'd say the color is almost on the cold side?

Mikki_ZH 0 #5 October 31, 2011 here is the vid of my yesterdays 2 jumps. first jump was in bright daylight, second jump was already in dawn... but now as you mentioned it, it really looks a bit yellowish... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Dl9ihMQYYMichi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyrus79 0 #6 November 1, 2011 Thanks, Wicked footage dude! It's true that the low light is where it really seems warm. I actually found a comparison clip on You Tube pitting the original GoPro against the GoPro 2... http://youtu.be/esuha3hwjMU It's clear that the new model handles low lighting MUCH better, with the color tone remaining true.

parachutist 1 #7 November 3, 2011 I bought one last night and used it for a few tandem handcams today. I added an external mic using the HD Hero2 stereo mic port (see photo). Poor sound quality was my only real complaint with the original HD Hero, but for me GoPro resolved that gripe with the Hero2's mic input. Nice job GoPro! Here's a clip from today, shot using the external mic: http://youtu.be/kVf6Qwejd0E Beyond that... honestly... I didn't see a major improvement in the video quality. I shot all day using 720p 60fps. It looks really sharp and clear on a 32" LCD, presented at 720p... but so did similar video from the original HD Hero. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
