Quality and Great Price
Posted .I've had this for about a week. This is my 6th GoPro and I have owned about every model they've released. Like most I bought this because of the price and I'm glad I bought it. I've used it for a total of about 30 minutes so far but so far here are my pro findings and my concerns (cons). Pros: 1. Sound seems better than any of the 3 and 3+ models I've had. I use my GoPros mainly for motorcycling and car driving and the sound so far seems much more deep and clear. 2. Battery life seems decent. If you use the instant on feature it saves on the battery. 3. Price. 4. Simple features and easy to use. 5. All 3 video quality settings are exceptional. Cons or concerns: 1. Integrated battery, I wonder when the battery dies how hard it will be to replace since the camera and housing are one. 2. Lens, I'm scared the lens is going to get scratched and that will not be good. I'm figuring somebody already trashed one of these so maybe they will crack it open and share the information on how the rest of us can replace the battery and lens when that day comes. I attached some screenshots from a video I took today. The one of the motorcycle is 720s and the one inside the car is 1080 30fps. If you're considering buying this, go for it. It is cheap and exceptional for the price. I've spent over $300 on GoPros and I like this one better.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes HERO work as is, or are other items needed?Does the HERO (entry level model) function as it is, or do you need other accessories for it to work? I'd like to give it as a gift, but $130 is about my budget.
Asked by Marathoner.
- A:Answer Works great out of the box. You don't need anything else to use it. You will find that over time you may want an accessory or two

Q: QuestionDo any of the GoPro Hero cameras have a zoom option?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer You cannot zoom; however, when you use the GoPro studio software, which is provided for free on the GoPro website, the software does allow you to zoom in/out, slow/speed up footage. The software is very user friendly. If you have any problems with it, YouTube is loaded with tons of editing guide videos and tutorials.

Q: QuestionWhat kind of issues? Was thinking about one of these for my son.
Asked by Gma.
- A:Answer None, it records great 1080p 30fps video. I can get around 2 hours and 50 minutes of recording time on mine. Plus, this camera can take a beating depending on how active he is. And it's as simple as it gets when it comes to being user friendly.

Q: Questionrecording soundDoes the camera have audio that we can record our voice with a video that is being recorded?
Asked by Mr.piggy.
- A:Answer Yes. The videos automatically record all audio. There are (2) doors that come with the camera (these doors protect the back of the camera). One is a solid piece that can be used to waterproof the camera. The other has openings that allows the camera to provide better audio quality, but will not be waterproof. The waterproof door will still record audio, just not with the same quality.

Q: QuestionCan this HERO model send live video via an external transmitter?
Asked by DUHAWK49.
- A:Answer No. This hero model does not have any live video features. Nor can you see what you are recording. To view recordings you must connect to a computer or pop out the MicroSD card to download the video files for review.
