Online Saver Blog

If your looking for a Gopro HD Helmet Hero or the Gopro HD Hero 960 or accessories you will not find any Gopro Coupons offered.  They have never offered a coupon code, but you can save on a Gopro at other stores now that they do retail distribution.  REI sells the Gopro and you can take advantage of the store deals to save on your Gopro.  It is the same price (actually .04 cheaper), but when they have coupon codes or sales on entire orders you can get yourself a discount.  The other option is that Gopro charges you $10 for shipping.  If you opt for the $20 REI membership when you buy your Gopro, you get free shipping.  This will cost you $10 more, but the next time you come and order a second Gopro Camera or some accessories you can get free shipping as an REI Member.  It gets better if your worried about paying the extra $10 dollars.  An REI membership is good for life and additional savings are offered to members that you may want to take advantage of.  REI sells outdoors stuff, fitness, snowsports, cycling, gadgets, camping stuff and much more.  You also get 10% back on your purchases in an annual refund/dividend to spend.  You can get your Gopro savings links via REI at Gopro Coupons.

Summer is rolling in and it’s time to capture some great footage with your Gopro camera.  No doubt the Gopro Hero Cameras are the number one wearable cameras on the market, but the question I always get is which one to choose.  The answer comes down to what your budget is.  If your looking for Gopro coupons for a deal, check at Gopro Coupon Codes.  I recommend going with the full Gopro HD Hero, which of course is the most expensive option that they have.  It’s a great camera and it lets you use the new Gopro accessories.  In particular the LCD Bacpac thats adds an LCD screen to your camera is wonderful.  If your on a budget you will be extremely happy with the Gopro HD Hero 960.  It’s almost the same camera as the full Gopro HD Hero, except it shoots in 960p not full 1080p, and it does not let you use any of the Gopro Premium Accessories.   I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s great to have the latest but the Gopro HD Hero 960 will probably satisfy majority of users, producing great footage while saving a few bucks.  You can try winning a Gopro HD Hero with the Gopro promo Free Daily Giveaway, you can enter with no purchase necessary at Gopro.com

Here is what a buddy did with his Gopro HD Hero for Fly fishing.  The video with the hemet strap was terrible footage, so he took his Gopro HD Hero with the Gopro LCD Bacpac attached it to a rock and set it just in front of the pool he was fishing. I’m assuming that he used the Gopro LCD Screen to ensure that it was positioned with a good point of view.  Hooked on to two fish and brought them right in over the Gopro.  Pretty cool footage.  I am waiting for youtube link and I will post for the anglers.  Just another example of the many ways a Gopro can be used for various sports and they don’t all have to be extreme type sports.  Check it out the Gopro and Gopro deals at Gopro Coupons.

It’s finally here.  Gopro 3D system has launched and shipping.  I have been waiting a long time to try this out.  I already own the second Gopro HD Hero Camera required for it and have been patiently waiting for the Gopro 3D kit.  I will update once i get it and give it a try.  See if they have any Gopro coupons or Gopro promo codes currently available at Gopro deals.

A 32 GB gives you 9 hours of recording.  The reason why I use one is that it makes it so much easier when trying to film over a couple of days.  I understand that the Gopro HD Hero only gives you a couple of hours on a full charge so why do you need 9 hours of recording.  The reason is simple, first off I have a couple extra batteries.  I don’t like the idea of the new Gopro Battery Bacpac, because you have to have the Gopro LCD Screen.  I will spend hours on the water and when I come in I don’t want to edit or pull video.  I also have to plug in camera to charge batteries for tomorrow and that’s about all I want to do along with eat and party!! When tomorrow hits, I’m fully charged and still lots of recording time and no messing around.  When I get to work on Monday I can play with hours of footage. (this is one of the benefits of working for yourself).  If your a Gopro user and have not tried the Gopro LCD Screen go get it.  If you are still considering a Gopro HD Hero camera, it’s an amazing little thing and you will love it.  Order it with the Gopro LCD Screen and at least one extra battery is my recommendation.  Take advantage of any Gopro coupons or available promos at Gopro Promo Codes.

This is my opinion but I think the Gopro HD Hero 960 is not worth it when compared to Gopro HD Hero.  Although it does cost a $130 less then the full HD Gopro Camera, you have no ability to use what Gopro calls a premium accessory, like the Gopro LCD Bacpac.  The advantage of an LCD screen addition really tips the scale.  I have a few friends that shoot at narrower field of view then the 170 degree and the LCD lets them accurately frame their shots.  I have not tested it yet but I’ve been told that shooting with a narrower Field of view produces a sharper video.  If you want to really focus in on the action and use a narrower field of view, the LCD bacpac is a must to get the shot you want.  You can find more information, available Gopro coupons/Gopro promo codes at Gopro.

The recently Launched Gopro LCD bacpac makes it so much easier to aim your Gopro HD Helmet Hero.  It really eliminates hours of terrible footage due to wrong camera angle.  You will need a second person to get it aimed but once it is aimed you will get great footage.  This is what I did on our last boarding trip.  I got on my board to stood the same way as if I was riding.  I then had a friend use the Gopro LCD to adjust the camera to a good angle.  Try to be natural and keep in mind your head is obviously going to move and you will look around a bit but overall you find that you ride with your head looking ahead mostly in a certain position.  Got way better footage at the end of the day.  I might of even convinced a couple buddies to go out and get a Gopro Camera and LCD now.  A few buddies have always complained about consistently bad video angles.  Another cool way to get footage is have a guy in front on the slopes with a backwards camera shooting the riders behind him.  Check to see if any Gopro Coupons or Gopro Promos are availabe at Gopro.  They do have a free daily giveaway. They are giving away a free Gopro.
