I see where GoPro has their HERO3 black reduced to $329 including the wi-fi remote. Is this the GoPro of choice for all you <br />guys posting those fantastic videos? Are the flat or curved adhesive mounts that come with this package what you use or <br />will I need a different mount?

I noticed that, too, Dennis. My GoPro question is whether there are lens options. Or are you stuck with whatever lens the camera comes with?

Don, I've seen no lens options, nor means of changing. But the little camera must have quite the microprocessor since there are a ton of operating modes that can be selected with just 2 buttons.<p>I also note the use of an iPhone for Bluetooth pairing to control the camera and view what it's seeing. The remote has no such viewer.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

The Hero 3 Black is pretty awesome. But for $199 at Sam's Club, Daniel and I got a Hero <br />2 that included the wifi backpack. With the backpack, I can control the camera from my <br />iphone/ipad and still get that killer HD quality that you get with the 3.

Can it be controlled with an Android? Don't have any ' i - ' things.

Jeff, the GoPro Hero 3 Black Instructions say "smart phone/tablet" ; and correcting my post above, it's linked via WiFi (built into the camera) and not Bluetooth if that matters.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Jeff, yes the GoPro can be controlled by 'i' devices OR Android devices. The app is great <br />and connects via WiFi as Frank mentioned. <br /><br />The newest GoPro video editing software is great, free, and super easy to use. The App <br />on your phone or tablet allows you to stop, start, and view video.

I sell GoPro cameras in my computer shop. I would recommend the silver as it is about 100 bucks cheaper. You can still choose 1080p or 720p and controlling the camera with the Wi-Fi is very easy once it set up. The black has a few extra video settings which you probably never use, and a remote control which I have never used. As I use the Wi-Fi application on my iPhone to control the camera and change the settings. I have two black and one silver camera and I can't tell the difference in the quality of the footage.

WHOOHOOO!! I had a Happy Monday present waiting for me when I got home from work today. Barbara bought me a GoPro Hero 3+ silver!! It's so cool I haven't even opened the box yet. Being in the middle of a major house remodel, I have not a clue when I'll be able to try it out. But now I can video my airframe to see if I can see any thing that causes that minor 'turbulence' thing. I can't imagine ever doing the quality stuff that some of you guys do but it ought to be fun trying. Barbara wins wife of the year award again this year.

I have a Hero 3 in white, and a Hero 2. No significant difference between them at post-processing because few people look at HD video online anyway. This 5 minute video combined video from both cameras, in a variety of places including inside the cockpit with an audio cable, as well as iPhone video from land-bound friends. I use the wifi remote as I find it a bit more reliable than the iPhone app. And it means I don't drain my iPhone battery over a long flight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb7CuZIc7ew&feature=youtu.be<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

What's really nice about your GoPro, Jerry, is that it apparently records only good landings. My little old camera only seems to get bad ones.<br /><br />Hey, here's a Kerry demo video that came up when yours ended: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpWyyci1vWM&feature=youtu.be">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpWyyci1vWM&feature=youtu.be</a> The editing in it is pretty good.<br /><br />Your turn now, Dennis S.

For you guys that are on the fence on buying one of these beauties <br />and would like to get yourself a gift that you'll actually use. Best Buy <br />has an early Black Friday special for the GoPro 3 black edition with <br />remote for $250! Copy and paste the whole link below, (otherwise it <br />doesn't work for some reason). Use coupon code 'GOPRODEAL' <br />to receive black Friday pricing when checking <br />out. Let us know if it works. Sounds tempting to me but I already have <br />2.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gopro-hd-hero3-black-edition-">http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gopro-hd-hero3-black-edition-</a><br />act%20ion-camera-black/6571689.p?<br />%20id=1218757813679&skuId=6571689&ref=199&loc=jDfRMawUPt8<br />&sit%20eID=jDfRMawUPt8-4lv_anEuyWGofCTjyYVAWg<br />

Tempting, indeed! But their price was up to $329.99 a minute ago. Free shipping, though.

Well Don, my bad landings tend to rattle my teeth and distort the video, so I usually determine the footage to be unusable. ;-)Let's put it this way - I'm occasionally glad that the 3M adhesive for the GoPro mounts is so robust.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

If you buy a GoPro you would also need a 3d printer so you can draw your own support for the camera. I <br />done some experimenting. If the support for the camera has a very small arm the vibrations will be low <br />and stable picture.

So what is the mount of choice for GoPro on a Searey? I see some pretty good reviews on the RAM mount with the short arm but the GoPro suction mount looks pretty stout also.

Dennis,Don't think there is one mount of choice. See David Geers' postings for an over the cockpit mount; and Russ Garner's postings for a starboard wing mount. Others have posted as well.<p>I've make both, tried both, and am hoping to get back to testing each. So far I'm preferring the more traditional right wing mount similar to Russ'. <p>Others solve the dilemma by having multiple GoPros.<p>Meanwhile, GoPro itself offers many, many camera mounts including one with tripod threads, adhesive mounts, probably 2-dozen or more. Many at extra cost, of course.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Yeah, I'm seeing there are a lot of options and opportunities to be creative. I've ordered a handle bar clamp, suction cup and tripod mount. Been so busy with the house remodel I haven't even opened the box!!
