GoPro Video of my track day today!

[HedgehogFromHell]

Well, i took my GoPro on track with me for the first time in just over a year and the results are.. Well.... Better to post the video!

I actually recorded several more videos, but for some strange reason my gopro only saved (or more than likely) overwrote the majority.. Leaving me with about 3 useful videos. Has anyone else suffered from this?

Nice vid!

As for the camera not recording. My guess is the memory card was the cause, it's quite common for the GoPro not to record, freeze or stop recording after a short while if the memory card isn't writing fast enough.

GO pro suck imo the V3 is a fail of a unit with no customer support.

now the new one is out 3+ which is said to work but where does that leave V3 owners with units which are not fit for purpose

also no IS on these units so every film is jumpy, nothing pro about the company imo, I am amazed they sell so well at these high prices.

The V3 or the Hero 3 as you call it is VERY stable since the last update (end of July 2013), however, there are many people still using inferior memory cards, in particular SanDisk, who produced a Class10 Ultra card (which GoPro recommended) but which didn't meet Class10 standards and therefor caused the problems associated with the Hero 3.

To be fair to GoPro, it was SanDisk who caused the issue and it was only a firmware update that resolved it.

In a nutshell, if you use any memory card other than the ones GoPro now recommend on their website, the bitrate will be reduced to compensate for the lower quality/speed memory cards, even the new SanDisk Extreme cards.

Thanks for the message Boro, will be having a look through my cards as i have a varying selection of classed cards!

No worries, make sure you've done the latest firmware update too. It helps massively.
