The audio on Gopros sucks though, and I believe everything is auto? I couldn't use a camera without manual settings.

It's good quality, outdoors, but low light is a bitch.

+ I just heard Finn has already stopped saving for a camera and has bought Y-Trucks.

Some people just can't save money these days.

Sorry I'm really bad at saving I'll start saving again I still have 10 quid leftover after buying Y's

I was actually thinking of getting a GO-PRO. And Harry the GO-PRO is like half the price of the 550D....

Its also really small, so its pretty much ideal for filming fingerboarding and what not, who really wants to be carrying a huge DSLR or camcorder for filming when you could hold a little point and shoot....

Yeah id defo go for the GO-PRO and save your money dude, the 550D seems like alot of money to be spending just to film fingerboaring.

Is the one on the BRR webshop the best one? or is there a better quality version? im seriously going to look into getting one.

No Eddie the one on the blackriver site isn't the best one and on the gopro site the best one (HD Hero-not 960) is even cheaper than what they're selling that one for on blackriver lol
http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero-naked-camera/ Thats the best one

I'm gonna buy a head strap and an lcd screen (so you can see what you're filming withot looking through the little glass thingy) and that would all come to around £215 which is a great deal,way under the price of a 550D

And Eddie it would be so awesome if you get a gopro and did some awesome realistic vert vids!

If they ever fix the audio on a GoPro, i'd probably get one, i just can't stand the tin sounding microphone, haha

Hm, with VDSLR's though, there's something about the filming that's just right, it looks warm and crisp, i'd love one! Infact, i'm probably going to get a 550D and Opteka lens sometime later on this year. Obviously not just for fingerboarding, since i'm pretty active as a photographer, haha. No point, in my opinion, to get the 600D for me, a flippy screen and more megashitzels don't do anything for me. I have a 450D currently, and it's feeling a bit out of date, haha

Yeah that's what I was gonna say.

Yeah that's true, the audio on the gopro is a massive downer :/
You can mute the audio/ put it very low so it can't really be heard but whatever haha

the go pro is okay, but all in all canon 550d is better!

Everyone's skipping the point we're trying to make so fuck it

Anyway, we should stop this discussion since Finn isn't getting it now...

I am getting one (i think you mean the 550d)
Just not saving gonna combine christmas and birthday monies.
Anyway this is Rafi's thread

Lol Harry this discussion isn't about 550Ds vs gopro, it's just about gopros

Good Camera

okay danny or whoever. its time to introduce registrations.

holden (orangegripindustries) is just making at least 2 accounts a day.

either make it so u can only register 1 account per e-mail or just make a test that shows you're not holden.

im sure asking each new user to write a couple paragraphs on themselves should work.


this is getting stupid.

I agree with you Simon, registrations could work
