GoPro HD HERO2 and HERO Comparison Video
In the video above, GoPro’s HD HERO2 and HERO are compared for low light capabilities and overall image quality. A sample of the 120fps and an internal/external mic sound test are also shown. At 120fps, only the 170 degree wide angle view is available to shoot at in WVGA.
The optional Wi-Fi BacPac and Wi-Fi Remote that add a Wi-Fi feature to the camera are most exciting for me. This will allow users to control their HD Hero and HD Hero2 cameras with their smartphone, iPad (or other tablet that no one cares about) or computer. You’ll also be able to live stream video to other devices on a Wi-Fi network with your HD Hero2. The Wi-Fi BacPac isn’t currently available but I’ll wager a guess that by the holiday shopping season, it’ll be on the shelf.
You can find all of the comparison specs of the original GoPro HD HERO Professional and the GoPro HD HERO2 HERE at GoPro’s site.

I’m excited about my 2 Hero2′s that hopefully will be here next week! I also could use the Wifi attachment/remote for car racing, having multiple gopros all from the push of a remote button will be great! The website says February 2012 availability, but I also heard from sources that December is the likely time frame.
I have a feeling the remote and bacpac will be available in time for holiday shopping.
Have fun with your new GoPro HERO2!
Nice vid, i’ve been looking for a comparo shot.
Oh, and by the waaaaay… Those unnecessary jabs at anti-apple products are one of the reasons I DON’T own any; you guys are zealots!
Just saying. I’ll keep looking at your great videos on my TV fed by my Xoom and act like nothing ever happened
Thanks for this Olivia. I don’t have a GoPro (1) but I do have a new Drift HD and a GoPro Hero2. The GoPro is awesome. The Drift won’t even handle a sunny day properly, but check out this quick video of the GoPro Hero2 going in direct afternoon sunlight, with the sun shining straight down the lens. I was pretty impressed!
