Well it has been a very sunny week this week and I had only just got my brand new GoPro Hero Camcorder at the start of it... Anyway I decided to take my GoPro Hero Camcorder in addition to my Mountain Bike over to Mam Tor (Mountain) in the Peak District and make a video. This is the very end result of that video.
The GoPro Camcorder is a Professional Camcorder, that is for sure. However, there are a few nibbles that I do have with regards to it. They are.....
A) the mounts only allow you to turn the camcorder in 90 degree turns. (Swivel & Lock would of been better here GoPro).
B) you can not preview your composure on the GoPro so you can't be 100% sure that the shot you want is the actual shot that it is that you are going to get. However I have learnt a new trick, which involves taking a photo onto the GoPro memory card and using an external device to preview that image in order to view my fixed composure.
C) I really hate the noise that the microphone does pick up on the GoPro when it's inside it's water proof housing. Honestly that noise quality sucks and makes me cringe all the time. Plus I don't understand why GoPro installed a microphone onto the GoPro Hero in the fist place as you have to use the water proof mount to mount the GoPro on to everything i.e. bikes, people, helmets, roll cage etc... etc...
Any way to finish, then out of 10 I would give the GoPro hero 8.
