keithbar 1 #1 April 29, 2015 I finally drank the Kool Aid and got one . but I'm a cheap ass so I got the entry-level $129 model. anyone using the new GoPro Hero with the non removable battery and case.? I can see that not being able to have a spare charged battery is a downside but I'm just looking for something to play with and put on interesting spots like my foot during a wingsuit jumpi have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keithbar 1 #6 May 28, 2016 Just thought I'd bump this thread and see if anyone else was using one. I liked mine so much I bought a second one. Went to the dropzone the other weekend and left my charging cable at home. The standard gopro's charging cable is not the same as this model BUT I was searching through all my old school R C A and svideo cable's. And found out that it is a FireWire to usb cable. So FireWire isn't completely dead i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

jumpsalot-2 3 #7 May 29, 2016 My first Gopro used 2 AAA batteries. They always liked to go dead just out the door on the greatest jump ever ...... oh, the good old days .....Life is short ... jump often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithbar 1 #8 September 4, 2016 Hellis Then you will have to spend most of the summer at Walmart But this model might be more reliable than all other GoPro? I don't know... . Just had my initial issue the other weekend. Think it was my fault I put a sd card in that I had used in a different camera. It turned on and started flashing in the door. When I landed it was turned off and locked up. Ended up with a corrupt card. But after I took the card out and plugged it in and recharged it it went back to working. i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
