Quick go pro question

on the back off the quick release part is these two prongs that you squeeze together, it's kind hard to explain, but you just have to pinch the inside together and it'll release.

Thank you very much i appreciate it +k

no problem, I had the same problem when I got mine.

I have a question, Is there a display screen on the go-pro like on almost every other camera where you can see what you are shooting, or do you just randomly point and shoot and have no Idea where you're filming or what it looks like until you upload it.

no display screen, the screen just shows how many vids and pic, what setting tis on and batterey, but ther is an eye hole to look through i sometime use for still shots. but i haad the wide and it got everything i wanted casue of it being a wide angle cam.

Alright, thanks +K, Sorry for thread-jacking, But can you review the video clips, etc. on the screen, sense there is a screen

no, the screen is similar to the screen of a watch, so you can't see anything one...this is one of the reasons it's only $300 for a high quality HD camera...it's simple. But again, the angle is so wide that it's pretty difficult to miss shots.

No, the screen just displays the shooting mode you're in, battery life, etc.

But as Flashkick said, it's really wide-angled. It catches so much of the panorama, that estimating where to point is more thn good enough

quick question. would there be any reason to get a 32gig memory card when the battery only lasts for 2.5hours? says 32 gigs would hold 4.5 hours of 720p recording but only 2.5 hours of battery time. so i feel the battery would die before i filled up the card

Then get another battery and film for 4,5 hours

HAHAHAHAHHA i had the exact same problem i felt like a fucking idiot

It all depends on how much you want to shoot at one time and how often you will empty the card to your computer. I would get another battery if you want to film in HD for a long time. Another thing you could do is bring the battery charger with you and leave it in your ski bag. Film for 2.5 hours then come in and let the battery charge while you ski and get it when its charged. (The battery takes 1 hour to charge to 80% when it is charged using a usb to wall outlet accessory) Also if you leave it to charge at your lodge leave it in a safe place or maybe ask the people at the repair / tuning desk if they would mind watching it while it charges.

Just for other people's referance:
* Memory: SD card, up to 32GB capacity (SDHC)
* Average recording times (using 32GB SD card):
o 1080p (30 fps): 4h 21m
o 960p (30 fps): 5h 26m
o 720p (60 fps): 4h 21
o 720p (30 fps): 8h 09m
o WVGA (60 fps): 8h 09m

thank you much, simple fix i wasnt smart enough to think of myself.. +k to you both
