Yes, GP3 Black edition. 1080P 60fps is super smooth panning, I've yet to try 720P @ 120fps...

the hero2 rear mount plug works for live feed, but it's like $37... your better off buying a dedicated fpv cam

everybody is saying the old bacpac works on the new cam, just doesn't fit it right. That means the analog out is there and functioning in the same spot and the plug is the same.....

it's the same thing, white is a hero 1, no sense in messing with that.
other than the ability to take stills while video recording and the higher resolution, her2 is doing alot of the same things the black is in here so far. that same memory in a hero2 makes perfect pans, super clean, great color, love the new protune deal
if you watch these protune flicks in low res, you'll see the glitchy pans go away.... youtube sucks

Other than the size difference, the Hero 3 being significantly thinner front to back than the Hero 2 and previous, the only other feature you get with the Black edition over the Hero 2 besides the resolution additions is the built in wifi on the 3. I haven't tested the range on it yet, the nice to have part for me is being able to start the camera recording by using the remote as well as change modes remotely. If I really want to see what the camera is seeing I'll either add an FPV cam as you mentioned or rig up something to get the camera video to the ground. I wonder if it will record and display the video on the HDMI out port. If it does then it should be fairly simple to rig one of the cheap ebay converters to get the video into a VTX. It would be really nice if I could just connect it to the Freefly converter already on the Cinestar...

Because their "free" service is file size and data quantity limited, to be able to upload whatever you want whenever you want you have to pay. Youtube on the other hand is free for the end user and not limited, at least for the time being.
Being the cheap arsed SOB that I am I can deal with the youtube limitations as long as it doesn't cost anything...

I've been working with both. IMO standard works fine for any non-commercial use, much better than my older HD Heros. Protune does need to be run through post of some form, I use the GoPro Cineform app and apply the Protune preset to get the end result. Don't see the need for it outside of commercial use where the clips would be used in broadcast or high end video production, just adds more steps for hobby use.
Does look good though...

there is a post at fpv manuals about the sony as-10 and 15 and a guy came along that does video compression technology for a living. he had me upload files form as-10, hero2 and nex-5n, he had a hero2 not protune and got a friends nex-5a to check and gave an analysis of each, kinda interesting read

I'd love one but was a bit put off by the heavy barrel distortion. I've got a 550d at the moment on an 18mm lens (not taking into account the 1.6x crop factor) but was drawn to these for the 2.7k resolution/faster FPS at lower resolutions and the weight of the unit. My AV130 with the skyline in struggles to tilt up and down smoothly without juddering with the 550d in.
