I’ve seen many GS/GSA riders on bikes with GoPro, or at least GoPro lookalike cameras fitted, but up to now, I’ve not been one of them. Since 2013, I’ve been using a Garmin Virb - not the “Go Pro styled” one, but the big, clunky Virb that went before it. Now, after years of reliable use, it’s given up the ghost after I dropped it on the garage floor. Garmin (unsurprisingly) can do nothing to help me, so I’m now beginning the search for a replacement camera.
First of all, I’d be grateful to draw on the wisdom of the Forum about what to buy. I’m looking at GoPros in particular, because of the availability of accessories, etc. Buying the best you can afford is something that doesn’t seem to hold for GoPro. My online research has confused me about what might be the best model. I want something all-weather, easily mounted, with good battery life, to shoot bits of my journeys, for personal/home viewing. But then, don’t we all, in the main!?
I’ve spent a good few years as a freelance stills photographer, but I’d describe my video needs as relatively undemanding, but I’m keen to re-equip with something with an accepted pedigree, that might see me through a few years of on-bike (1200 GSA) use.
Grateful for any replies.
