Did they change the fisheye lens on the 3?
I bought the Hero2 last year and was dissapointed with the fisheye lens. Had it on the tower first, then moved it to the rear grab bar.
I am looking to get another video recorder, maybe one of the new waterproof JVCs, but may just get a regular (non-waterproof) recorder with a good lens for the tower and use the Hero2 mounted directly to the boards or the kid's helmets.
Yes, it still looks like the fish eye lens, IMO. I will just have to see how it does. I definitely like it waterproof.
i had mine on my tower and i liked it.. rider was a tad far out but not bad..i wish i could upload one of my cash pics from it..looks bad because i was using the original gopro
nice....have fun with it. report back if you will as that is the version I am planning on grabbing one of these days!
I hope to use it soon but this weekend is going to be in the 40's. I am hoping to be able to wetsuit out this month and then try it. I want to use it for looking at my turns skiing and boarding.
Some people says that the hero 3 freeze often and you have to remove the battery.....
The fish eye lense on the 3 is not as drastic as the 2 so the 3 has much less distortion

I just really haven't gotten to use it much yet. What I have videoed so far looks pretty good to me, I have the silver also so hope it wont freeze up. I know I am going to freeze up when I get in that water here shortly.
