Funny unit

This is my first GoPro and I was surprised how small this camera accordingly really is. I "had to" buy a GoPro, because the retaining mechanism quadricopter my work just so. Air-videos I have been a few made. The problem described several times with the focus, the camera has not (production November 2013). The quality of the videos is proportional to the ambient light: the more, the better. That was to be expected since one for low light just needs a large image sensor and it happens to be no place.

The 4K mode is of course silly, useless because in practice because of 15 frames / second. But that does not matter because I can say with maximum safety to have in the next few years either via an appropriate playback device yet on a PC, with which you could edit those videos liquid. Both 2.7K videos and those with 1080p are super in good light. For the former, I have not even monitor but the high resolution allows waste-free stabilizing the videos. The GoPro Studio the immense fish eye effect can be removed by clicking outstanding. This works far better than I would have expected that.

You realize relatively quickly that the GoPro not a substitute for the other camera that you have in the closet is. The applications for this are just different completely. The GoPro is really fun and fits in any shirt pocket.

Nevertheless I subtract two points, because I find it unacceptable if left completely fizzle my unpacking pleasure in seconds. Seriously for just under 400 euros missing two urgent cents article: lens cover and the possibility to mount the GoPro on a tripod. Both I had to purchase separately and that's an insult. As well for everyone else, it does for me no matter if the purchase price is now two euros higher or not. However, it plays a role when the manufacturer's overall image in a very short time of "cool guys because presumably" to "unpleasant profiteers" converts. In addition, the entire optional mounting plastic stuff is covered priced exorbitantly.
