A friend of mine is looking to go skiing in Austria next month and got a Standard Police Caution over the Christmas period. Will this stop him from flying to Austria and enjoying his holiday?

I'd be gobsmacked if just a caution stopped you travelling just about anywhere.

What software do I need to edit, or does it come with its own? I am on apple mac.

Personally, I prefer a music backtrack. The sound of me giggling and sniffing isn't great listening for anyone else. I assume this is easy to add?

Have a look on YouTube as well. There's loads of tutorials on how to add a really professional touch to your vids.

I have been pricing the Hero 2

In all honesty if it's just casual holiday videos you're using it for I think the standard hero will be more than enough.

From what I've read, the video quality isn't greatly improved on the Hero 2; it's just the user interface. Granted it's fiddly, and takes a while to set up, but once done it needs little intervention on the standard Hero.

4:23 onwards in this vid is a good example:

£300!? I got mine for £160 off Amazon. And the GoPro is a HD vid cam, and incredibly more versatile than a standard hand held one in my opinion.

The time laps options for example, can look amazing when edited correctly.

Will let you know if it's worth the £40 per hour...

I'm that paranoid I only book resorts with glaciers!

The Ski?

I'm genuinely thinking about this. The only problem being my ski's have a rough finish (on top obviously) and am not sure if the adhesive will hold.
