XTreme Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 And this thing looks seriously impressive! I was going to go for a Hero 9, but this new one is a huge step forward apparently! Only thing is it seems to be selling for about €500! What you reckon @Grasshopper's Ride @Cupid Stunt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fallsalot Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Been thinking of something for a while especially since I've been reading about people getting abused by the general public on the trails. Only 2 weeks ago Steve one leg got beaten by an old lady with a walking stick some of the other lads had verbal abuse off two old ladies at the end of another lane and i had an encounter with an angry farmer the other day. Would be nice to get some video of them but £500 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Well, what I have learned, like most things these days, it is 75% hype and 25% substance. GoPro is no different, they sell the new ones like they are soooooo different, but they are not that much "better" from the older ones. I always buy the older models on sale when the new ones come out, always a good deal. They are also much more affordable here overall. As for me, well I have 5 GoPro's already so I think I will hold off this time around. BUT, I love them all, they are super fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advert is promising all the amazing improvements it’s promised with each iteration. It looks good but I’ll wait for the reviews, sometimes these things do leap forward but often it’s small incremental steps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the 10 is better......but I doubt it's nearly €200 better! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupid Stunt Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I very rarely go for the latest kit nowadays Pete, I wait anxiously for it to come out so the previous version drops like a brick in price Who on Earth needs 5.3k?, it's very rare that anyone watches videos in anything above HD and often just 720p as their watching on a phone/tablet For the latest kit you'll always pay what it's worth plus a premium for joining all the mugs who queue up waiting for it to come out 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motobiker Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Keep an eye on Amazon and eBay - they occasionally have discount offers almost randomly pop up. Not long ago eBay had a short lived 20% offer, which meant things like this were effectively vat free 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crackling sound on the 9 wouldn't be a deal breaker for me cos I was always put a soundtrack over the vid. The overheating on the 10 would be a deal breaker though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
