bholleran Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 As per title really what do people consider the best POV camera to get. I know that the Gopro range always come out really well but I remember hearing about a new Sony camera that is supposed to be brilliant. But I cant find any information about it. Once I have a list of contenders I might jus make it a poll so that others can see it easily in future. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganers Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I cant comment on the Sony camera, but I have the drift HD, its a cracking piece of kit and tough too, its give really clear video thats good quality. However, it has to be mounted side on to give a true picture of what your seeing, I have it mounted on the top of my helmet and is there fore side one, I can rotate the footage when editing but it messes up the aspect ratio. The drift really is a good piece of kit and is a bit cheaper than the Go Pro range, when I was using it on the bike it was great, but now I'm flying I find the way it mounts a bit limiting and I have just advised my dad to get the Go Pro, which is what I will be doing in future. Also after comparing the footage of both cameras I have to admit the Go Pro wins, and the mounting options are excellent! Cheers Lee.

Lee Jackson Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have the new Sony Action Camera (HDR-AS15) and I absolutely love it! That said, I haven't had a chance to fly with it and I've never had a different POV camera so can't give an objective apprasal. It was only just released the other week. My kids took it to the swimming pool at the weekend for a Birthday party and it was filming in, out and under the water with amazing clarity, perfect sound whilst getting knocked about. I also set it up and control it via wifi on my iphone which is real snazzy. You can instantly download the films to your phone, computer etc by wifi too. I think its a really great bit of kit... I'll happily recommend it although I think the wifi version is the one to go for. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bholleran Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ok I almost made my mind up and thought I would share this video that I just watched for any one else who is interested. This compares the GoPro 2, GoPro 3 Black and the Sony HDR-AS10 I have to say that after watching this and other videos I am still leaning towards the Sony. I love the Image stabilasation on the sony. Now I just need to shop around and check out the prices, that is the only bit I have still to look at. That might just make the difference. But to be honest that quality of all three is excellent.

bholleran Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Just found the prices. 1. Sony HDR AS10 - No Wifi - £118 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-SONY-HDR- ... 1c2ca714c9 2. Sony HDR AS15 - With Wifi - £225 - http://www.waeplus.co.uk/product/127427 ... r-FHD-Wifi 3. Go Pro Silver - Approx £170 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GoPro-HD-HERO ... 46076f5a00 4. Go Pro Black - Approx £360 Unless some one has a really compelling reason to go for a go pro I think I justt need to decide if I want to pay the extra for the wifi on the Sony. the Sony HDR AS10 just seems to goo to be true at that price - any thoughts?

Great, but the forgot to include the Sony, which I think is far better having looked at the footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
