How does this compare with the GoPro Hero 3+Silver? In terms of WiFi range and recording time.

Plenty of YouTube videos comparing the two! Wifi I've never had an issue with, honestly I feel the Sony has an edge

Have used this videocam at nite as a car dash camera and on my bike. So far have no problems. Better than my obsolete go pro hero I that I have over used for over 2 years. The built-in video screen will give you the answer to your question too.

The extender is a different frequency as I understand it. The GoPro and DJI use the same Wifi frequencies so are not compatible and can cause catastrophic failure of the DJI in flight (You will most likely crash).

I do not recommend using any of these wireless cameras but instead find far better performance by connecting to my router via Ethernet cable. WiFi just can't keep up. Most of the other folks having issues probably would do better by running an Ethernet cable to the camera.

The white edition will allow you to do basic recording with good results, and will be just fine for this sort of thing! As for accessories, I suggest the "Wasabi Power Battery (2 Pack)" on Amazon. Better/more powerful batteries + charger that is cheaper than buying a second normal GoPro battery. The "Adjustable Chest Mount Harness" is also a fine purchase, maybe even a "GoPro Head Strap Camera Mount." However, you WILL need a Class 10 MicroSD card, and I prefer 32gigs or more. There are some on sale right now. This is what I use in my Hero3 Blacks: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SDSDQUA-064G-U46A-microSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B009QZH6JS/ref=pd_sim_p_9 Best of luck to you! PS - the items I recommended can be searched. I copied the names of the items directly from the Amazon titles! Just copy and paste everything between the quotes into the search bar and away you go!

Yes several. The Hero3 has more available mega pix and includes a Wi-Fi remote.

The WiFi doesn't work on these cameras, I have tried it on a number of connections. The so called "mobile" app (free) yes, is junk. So, until pressure is put on Cannon to produce better stuff, there isn't much anyone can do. I don't know of any third party vendors who want to take on the challenge. These camera companies are losing business to competitors. Even the GoPro doesn't work while in "waterproof" move w hdmi, you have to use iPhone App, or Android App to make the GoPro work, meaning you have to have your mobile phone in your back pack, and then basically all your footage is on your phone if you have enough memory. Frankly, someone could make a killing creating apps that work on these cameras. The WiFi doesn't work on these cameras, I have tried it on a number of connections.

Comparable? It's a pole and the hero 3 is a camera, so no but it's compatible as meant to have the gopro on it. That's what it's for.

Yes I believe it is and it comes in a blackout housing as well and they are both waterproof. Here's a tip you can shut of fish eye @ the camera by setting it to 1080p medium. With all the changes and accessories we just might as well wait for the Hero 10+ black. See a pattern here. That's how gopro get's rich release little by little with features and upgrades and new parts as they go. In 5 years we'll have 40 gopro's and gobroke. How bout zoom gopro.

I also used a GoPro Hero 2 camera and was very disappointed by the quality of the pics it was taking, very unclear under water and distorted on the corners. The Olympus takes excellent pictures and has tons of options for different situations. If you want good pics, go with the Olympus. The only advantage of the Hero is the possibility to attach it to yourself and have your hands free.

I looked at the Go Pro but the Intova appears to be better for underwater video, which was my primary requirement.

Most definitely work on gopro hero. I found that when using the Extreme PLUS, the quality of my images were better and transfer rate for movies and images were faster. Though, not a very significant difference. Depends on what you can afford.

I have the sandisk Ultra 32gb for the Gopro 3+ silver and it does just fine. It looks choppy at times, but its always my computer showing the chopiness then i download it and it plays normal. So it is just fine. It's not on there list as the top recommended but they show that the sandisk one will work. So this one will work also.

I attached a GoPro Hero 3 Black and I get about 8 minutes of flight. Not long so buy extra batteries.

I wasn't sure either because it's not in the recommended list from gopro. I recorded a 7 minute long video (1080p Medium width @ 60fps) a couple days ago and it worked just fine.

As simply a consumer and not a spokesperson for either company, nor affiliated with Amazon - I'd definitely hate to give you "unprofessional" advice; however, I will say this: being that I purchased mine for my GoPro Hero 3 myself (and it worked flawlessly) I'm going to say that the odds of it working for you are about as close to 100% as one could get;)

I use it with my gopro, so the gopro ap is helpful. Otherwise all I can think is the timer for photos or shoot video. Most cameras have a two second and 10 second delay shot. I'm pretty sure my iPhone does as well. I gave been very pleased with my stick over all.
