GO PRO COMPARED TO SONY EXPERA

Postby Suesing » Sun Jun 01, 2014 1:41 pm

My student Mike gave me this little pressie. I have done the Drift exercise and the Go Pro-but now ive got this little baby. Put together a bit of footeage and see what you guys reckon. Obviously check it out in FULL HD. For me the Sony action camera rocks.

I still like the Drift Stealth.
This is footage from the Drift mounted on the strut and wired into the intercom (listen to the clarity of the sound through the intercom).
There are also 2 Go Pro cameras being used in some parts.
They have added music over the sound through the intercom.

Mc Guyver ya for me the Drift was very user friendly,sound was good and battery life good. Nice vid ,reminds me of my trike flying days. But the quality of the pic on the big screen once you have got it all together(Go Pro the most hassle-drilling holes in the housing for the sound ,flat batteries etc) i reckon this Sony is a gem, half the cost of the Go Pro.
Aaah well for me its all part of the fun of flying.

Try the ISAW -- i use these cams, and they are better than Gopro, and less than half the price - all fittings and accessories are compatible with Gopro also -- LCD screen on the rear, digital zoom capability, mic sensitivity, Wifi, Remote control, etc etc etc

ISAW is an international brand -- how come you can't purchase it?

Turbo

I was merely asking. Will get it when I next go abroad.

Don't worry I was curios and will just make a plan outside of your realms.

you welcome - no problem. I was curious as to why it wasn't available - thats all.

Even if you purchase it from other local sources, its a sale for us anyways. I can say that its a fantastic product next to any other HD action cam, and has features that the other don't - best "feature" is its price.
