ansta1, A discount code for all you Snowheads sounds like a great idea!
dogcam sport is happy to offer a 10% discount off all our cameras and accessories through the code SHDC10 which can be used at the web checkout www.dogcamsport.co.uk or phone orders 01208 269 159
I'll also speak to the Snowheads admin team to make this available to all forum members.
Please note the offer excludes the ContourHD 1080P camera, as it is already heavily discounted |
I knew I should be checking this forum more often, bought a hd hero 2 from you last week (excellent shipping speed and communication by the way) for full price and not even an hour ago I bought a big u shot and tripod mount too!
Oh well, it's still worth it!
Also big thanks to ansta1 for hiring one out to me last year, was awesome! (laptop failure and sheer laziness stopped me from thanking you at the time)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. The gopro 960 looks good but the price doesn't seem to include any accessories so imagine it will cost more than £150 by the time I've bought attachments etc.
Element - I'll look your one up now. |
Hi All
I may be a bit late on this hread ....But FYI
I bought a GoPro Wrist cam version off Amazon in Nov.....It's a great little gajit but is not compatible with any other mounts or housings
I only cost £70 but wrist mounted isn't ideal for skiing
I hired a HD Hero 2 from Ansta (infiniteimages.co.uk) via this forum for our weeks skiing before Xmas
I was very pleased that we did, very reasonable, especially for the Occasional Skier
I'm now planning to get a HD2 or hire again
You can see the results & compare the 2 cams here

nb: Tip...get your kids or skiing buddies to wear it for footage of you actually skiing, POV is no good for analyisi.
Hope this helps

I bought the Drift HD170 last week, had the X170 which is standard resolution before it, but decided to upgrade. It's a fairly large camera (they now do a smaller version, but that's around £300.00) It's going off to Avoriaz with me on Saturday, hopefully will get some good video. It has a 60 fps mode too, which might make for some interesting slow motion shots. Comes with lots of fixing mounts too, which will handy as it will also be used on the bike in the summer.

WASHOUT, sounds like a good deal, Where did you buy it? Did you have to pay VAT & duty
(Edit: maybe you could pm me the details rather than expose them for avoiding tax!!!)

Bit late to this discussion as well, but nevermind! I've got a GoPro HD hero (not the HD2), which I principally use for skiing and mountain biking.
The standard GoPro HD has 2 HD modes (for standard recording):
720p (1280 x 720) with a 170 degree field of view
or
1080p (1920 x 1080) with 127 degree field of view
When recording skiing or mountain biking, I find the 170 degree field of view (with slightly lower resolution) gives much better results. The 'fish eye lens' effect gives a much better sensation of speed, especially when you're reasonably close to things. When on the higher resolution, but with smaller field of view, the results can seem rather flat and boring looking, with no sensation of speed.
From what I can see, the big benefit of the HD2 is that it allows you to record in the full 1080p HD mode with the maximum 170 degree field of view. That'd be the selling point for me (although I'm more than happy with the one I've got).
Hope that goes some way to explaining the difference between the HD and HD2!
