GoPro Hero versus Hero2

[M0nk3y]

Has anyone used both of these?

I'm tempted to get the Hero, just because I can get it for $218 versus $299.

The only difference I've seen is the low-light. They claim it's sharper glass...but who knows.

Anyone?

Haven't used the hero but +1 for the answer.

Haven't used the Hero, but I do have a Hero2. Have not used it much yet, but imagery seems pretty clear. In 1080p, a ten minute Video is over 1 gig of space! Kinda tough to work with files like that on the web without some compression work. Still pictures are about 10MB each! Also, Hero2 needs Vista or newer OS to work. Just what I have learned in a few shoots. Let me know if you have Hero2 questions.

i have used the hero and hero2. The hero2 has clearer images and video than the Hero. The hero2 has better usable user options on the LCD screen. Also the recording red light is on 4 corners on the Hero 2. This is a great benefit for when you have awkward angles and don't know when its recording from the beeps.

I've been using the Hero2 720p 60fps 170deg wide and been testing it since I just got it yesterday. So far it does look clearer. the menu ease of use is probably enough reason for me to buy the Hero2 lol.


The hero2 has option for external mic, hdmi output. Best part is the HD hero accessories are interchangeable since they are the same size!

I have the Hero and my bro has the Hero 2. Night and day difference in the quality. Go with the Hero2 and don't be a Zero.

Lol, thanks. Need some ideas for other things to do with it!

The first video looks good.. The quality looks great! And your wheels are immaculate! In terms of ideas, I would definitely say to place it somewhere where wind can be battled, as that will ruin all of your videos.

Thanks! I think I might have a cool video to share next weekend. We'll see...
