Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
No 25p? Bit of a let down for us in PAL land if not,

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
Ron I don't understand it either however when the Hero HD was released it didn't support 25P, was only added in a firmware update a bit later, beyond me why they didn't implement 25P into the Hero 2 straight away.

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
And the best part, it looks to be the same size, so all the accessories I already own will work with this new camera.
Plus the "original" dropped in price.

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
Anyone know if they increased the bitrate or made any codec changes?

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
Ha, typical! I just bought a GoPro Hero HD Motorsports at full price about 3 weeks ago.......
The accessories are compatible I take it, which is pretty cool for upgrading?

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
Would love to know if there is a PAL live output and 25 - 50p framerates
Other than that, it looks great! Edit; Did send a e-mail to the GoPro rep I have contact with. Hope he can answer my questions soon Last edited by Luka De Smet; October 25th, 2011 at 08:33 AM. |

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
There's also a mini-HDMI port. I hope it's live out during recording. This might be a way to monitor during 3D shooting when you can't use the LCD BacPac. The different angle of view options look interesting. Looks like they implement a sensor crop to make this happen. The most interesting thing on there website is a spec called "low light" with the description "Professional". Got to wonder what that actually means.

Re: GoPro Hero 2 is here!
Sorry, I changed my mind. Best part is the video streaming via WIFI bac pac.
Wow.... Just wow. I can't wait to take a look at that.
