GoPro - Do they come with front and back cam?

Hi Guys.

Anyone know if you can get a GOPRO with front and back camera? The quality is great but want to be able to record front and back. Or do i need some sort of kit and run 2 side by side? Any ideas? Cheers

The gopros only have a front-facing camera. To record front and back you'd need a second one.

there's a kit so you can record stereo (3d) with two side by side but that's pointless for what you want. As said, you'll just need another one, mounted facing rearward. Go for the GoPro 3 silver or black, don't go for the white as it's lower spec than the GoPro 2. The GoPro silver is roughly equivalent to the GoPro 2 with some more features and less bulk. It also lets you use your iPhone as a monitor via wifi. The black does super slow-mo and a few other things.

Another thing to be aware of is that the Black has a shorter battery life than the Silver because it has the most advanced image sensor so it goes through the juice a bit quicker. From what I've read people get about 1h 15m out of the Black, but if you've got it plugged into a power source (eg your cigar lighter) it won't be a problem.

The Black also comes with a wireless remote and it does a whole lot more stuff than the Silver and White so it more than makes up for the slightly shorter battery life.

I've been doing a lot of research on these because I've been thinking about getting one myself.

the black also shoots 4K video, which is pretty much useless on most displays and it shoots it at a slow frame rate again making it pretty redundant.

Look at the REPLAY 1080xd range of cameras, much better quality overall imho

I've been thinking of getting a ReplayXD for mini camera use. The comparison clips on YouTube look like the Replay is slightly colour blind to the GoPro. Don't think that would stop me from buying one though.
