I was debating the chest harness but was going to go with the headstrap....probably good to have both I'd imagine.
The thing about the head strap is that it may give you a headache if you wear it for too long. I loosened it a bit but then I feared it might come off.
The first thing I suggested to the Mrs. She said absolutely not so I informed her that I will be looking for an actress with better attitude for my films.
now that you can control it via wifi you always have the hidden camera option...
This is a good point. The key to any home video is the editing (which I enjoy). You cant just shoot continuous footage of one "thing" and expect to have something that you (or anyone else) will ever want to sit down and watch again (unless of course, you catch a blooper of some sort). Your home video should be more like a SHORT story and the b-roll footage is just as (if not more) important in telling that story. Like pretty much everything else, you wont get good at it unless you practice, and you wont practice unless you really enjoy doing it.
It's great swimming in pools, boogie boarding in the ocean which you can't do with regular cameras/video cameras. I did some great POV video when I was in Alaska...I had the camera on an extension pole and when we were on a train I was in the caboose and was able to hang it out over the side and it was amazing with the huge gulches and sheer walls...camera was inches away at times as we were moving along. Also, hung it out the window when we were in Denali National park looking down at probably 500 foot straight down drops..also, took helicopters to some glaciers which was pretty amazing too.....incredible stuff.
Fake.
No man those are real deaths and stuff.
I have the chest mount and I'm not crazy about it. Used it once for a Zombie Run and found the footage shaky and difficult to follow. Mainly bc it was on my center chest and I turned my head to look at something, the view from my body was still straight on. So I didn't record some of what I "saw"
Just purchased my first one about an hour ago on Amazon. Did tons of research and seriously considered buying one used on Craigslist but decided to buy a new one and went with the Hero 4 Silver. Has the LCD touchscreen which is supposed to really make the useability much easier which is one of the draw backs of the GoPro. Added two additional batteries and some extra brackets.
Let me know what you think about it. Thinking about grabbing one for my honeymoon and wedding.
Dude, my inbox is empty.
Have had Hero 4 Silver for a couple days now and really like it. I purchased the "Moto" bundle on Amazon and have had to purchase some additional items such as more screws, adhesive plates, bigger SD card, additional batteries, etc. The Hero 4 Silver has the LCD back screen which makes the functionality of the unit much easier then the other models. My unit came with the 32GB sd card which will give you about 90 minutes of recording at 1080 therefore I upgraded to a 64gb. The battery lasts about two hours so I purchased a couple backups. My main function will be to use it to record while I am dirt bike riding and will need a couple backups while in the woods.
Hey man how are you still liking this? Buying soon / going swimming with manatees.Have had Hero 4 Silver for a couple days now and really like it.

I have found Youtube to be a wealth of information learning all the ins and outs of the unit and feel like I have barely scratched the surface thus far.
Two thumbs up two days in.
Still really like it. The LCD back screen has made all the difference and I have found the free GoPro Studio editing software to be very good. Again, youtube has been a wealth of information for me.
Man that thing looks awesome.cstu said:
The selfie stick is a nice addition as you can get some really cool shots with it. also the extra battery.
No, it only records dogs on skateboards and fake office fights.
