    Looks like GoPro did it again. 4K,1080p/60fps, 720p/120fps!, Wi-Fi/App ready.

    The timing is a bit funny as my brother just finally purchased the Hero 2 a little over two weeks ago:D.

    I would love to buy, but I don't live a cool enough life to use it enough...

    :(

    GoPro's have never really appealed to me much and the type of shooting I do. I always thought they were pretty cool, but couldn't justify buying one for what I'd need it for.

    I still feel that way pretty much, but could justify the purchase just based on 120fps alone. Wow. Now that would be a lot of fun!

    I agree. For a sports camera, which is what they're truly meant for, they're spectacular. For POV hunting shots (which many here use them for), the 4K, increased framerate, etc. doesn't mean a whole lot (except for the price/quality).

    Then again, you could have some interesting timelapse shots for your B-roll or filler shots and be cool like the HB guys:D

    I was wondering when they would come out with the this. Not that CamOne was taking a lot of business from them, but more and more people were interested in the smaller black model they put out.

    I have some video footage that sort of looks like the opening to this clip, was over in Afghanistan flying down one of the rivers at low level. I'll have to pull it and stick it on the forum
