I'm getting really tired sending my little Nikon camera back to LA to have it repaired. It works fine for video, but then it won't open, probably because the car is stiff and likely is causing the gears that open the lens to jam. So was looking at the Hero GoPro3, but was hopeful that people on this board would have opinions on the unit. My use is primarily for Autoxing so would really like something that can be turned on easily, unlike the Nikon which requires someone outside the car to get it started. Sound quality is important as well. Or maybe there is a nice video unit out there that works better. All advice appreciated. |

I got one this summer and like it. It does use up the standard battery pretty quick, 5-6 auto-x runs should be fine. I added the bigger battery and really enjoy the I-phone interface. I just trust the phone remote because I can see the video is on for confirmation. It allows for full semi-real time viewing (1-2 second delay) and programming. I've not found any volume adjustment yet so it 's either on or off during filming at this point unless I find otherwise. Don't skimp on card quality.
