Yeah, it did come out good... what viewing angle is that?

I've been shooting in R3, so 170 degrees.

Did you shoot or edit this in black and white. It's really dark and grey?

That's nice, good shoot'n. Nice and bright. I have a Contour camera and love it. Not waterproof but I got a housing for it. Can't wait for tne new App for my iphone. Contour is coming out with a bluetooth camera and card so you can see what you're shooting in real time. That will be a geat help in setting up the camera.

Nope. It was just a dark grey day

Hi all. I'm confused. When I look at the product descriptions currently on Best Buy.com, I see that both cameras are listed as HD, but this thread says that the cheaper one is not. Is the product info wrong? Thanks!

The cheaper one doesn't do 60 frames a second.

or 1080 mode

on the GoPro is there any kind of display that lets you know you've got the camera positioned correctly before you shoot all the video?

No. Trial and error.

Field of view is something like 170degrees so it's not hard to get it generally right. But it does take practice to perfectly setup the angle when mounted.

Got the Hero 960 as an early birthday present from my girlfriend today. Seems really cool for skiing, biking, and mounting on my slalom water ski.

Looking forward to playing around with this at Stowe/Smuggs this weekend.

It does, but in WVGA resolution.

So I have the cheaper model and used it on the mountain for the first time today. I've been recording with the R3 setting and as I'm watching the video, the playback is sort of distressful. I should qualify by saying that I currently have it plugged into a 6 year old slow computer, but I guess I didn't think that would matter. What is happening is that when I play back a video, it will pause fir seconds at a time and when it is playing, say with me skiing down the trail, the video appears to skip ahead a tiny bit about every 8 seconds. Does anyone know if this could be the computer or the 30 frames per second mode? Thank you!

I'd guess that's a computer problem and not the GoPro. It's a memory hog. Have you tried hooking up the GoPro to the TV and seeing what playback looks like then?

You need more RAM.

30 (29.97) frames per second is standard for SD video.
