i see that the snowboarders are using a small mono-pod. i was thinking about doing something like that when im making short clips.

Trading in my old first gen Hero for the Hero 2 was a wise choice. Not only does the Hero2 offer external mic capabilities but the picture is TWICE as good if not better I have to thank Steve though as he inspired the whole project

The external mic is the best thing they added in my opinion, the video quality was always good after some basic editing of saturation and contrast but the audio even with the open back left much to be desired.

Good idea using the time lapse to catch the critter. Are you going to stick it on a window inside the house looking out? I wouldn't want any drunken raccoons running off with it.

You had a nice month of shopping. It should be easier to save money when you have all those new toys to play with.

I will be quiet on my spending next month for sure.



Sounds good! So do you actually use the lithium battery or power the mic off the hero2? I got a cheepo mic coming to me that apparently works well. This way I can pick up more direct sound if I desire. I will try with the built-in mic first though.

I'm.

I use the lithium battery. You will be let down by the GoPro's mic. Even more so when its inside the case. External mic is the way to go. Esp in a car video, sound is as important as the driving is.
