[quote flygoddess]I have an Hero2 and have had for about 4 years. I personally hate the head mount and think it makes for terrible videos unless you can stay focused entirely on the fish. No looking side to side, down at your reel, where you are walking cause that is what you video.
I prefer a Pole mounted somewhere or a chest mount.
Like TDT mention, the pictures are small although HD. Unless you are right on top small items.
The wifi is awesome, the charging can be a pain. Buy extra batteries.[/quote]
The camera function itself (taking pics) is USELESS! Without an actual screen to know what you are pointing at, it rarely does any better than a cheap phone camera. The video function is all I use it for and I am extremely pleased with that.
The wi fi function is something I cannot use as a backcountry skier. It interferes with a search beacons ability to search for victim buried under the snow. That said it can be turned on by accident on the hike up, therefore on the way down you have no batteries left for a video. Most of that issue though is on cold days.
