New GoPro

Probably pretty boring for this crowd, but I got a GoPro at Oshkosh and went around the patch experimenting with placement...probably need to move to one side a little more to avoid center window beam

I think centered is perfect. I like to see all the action.

Re: New GoPro

I guess there is more than one model now. I saw one at Sheels the other day for $199 and another for $299. What's that other $100 for?

I guess the owner's kid wants a new pony or something.

Re: New GoPro

Just watched the video again and one thing I would recommend. Try tilting the visors down just a little bit to minimize the cross section they present to the camera.

The black model is more money as it comes with the ability to connect to your phone via wifi as well as comes with the wifi remote.

I guess I'll wait for the $399 one that does pans and tilts from my iPhone WiFi.

Re: New GoPro

I like the inside view, but either a little wider or back to get some side window perspective helps visualize bank.

It's addicting though, sooner or later you'll want multiple gopros
