Stephen Hopkins Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 what are you using this on? my suction cup was a utter failure on my rc cars, 3m sticky ones are the best. Not too expensive when you look at how much a hd camera costs, and these can take a beating. Mines is a hero1 hd from the motor sports package, kills the handling on my rc trucks, but the quality of footage is second to none for its size. I believe Eric also has both a hero and a hero2. Heres mine to tease you till you get to use yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I had a hero2, returned it had issues where it would randomly turn itself off. I still use my regular gopro, saving up for another but I need more glass for my DSLR as well. GoPro's as long as you take great care of them will last a long time, and treat you good as well, the only downfall of the GoPro hero vs Hero 2 is the first one has a yellow tint to it during darker light and simulated light. If you got any questions let me know, but I doubt you'll need the suction cup mount, I haven't used it but it's always good to have around incase you need it but I haven't had one nor have I needed a use for one in the year or so I've had my gopro.

BigfootFanTV Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I really want to get a GoPro camera so when i'm at independent monster truck shows (not Monster Jam), I can get onboard video shots of the trucks. I just don't have the money for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
