GoPro 1 which was SD had the removal battery compartment.

GoPro 2 has an inbuilt battery.

GoPro 3 I don't have.

Looks like a GoPro 1 to me. Shoots wide angle in SD. Hope your pistol wasn't worth much, you can pick these up on ebay pretty cheap - under $100.

The footage was excellent on the Sony but you can't run it for long periods

Good trade.  Hipoint is junk, and ugly to boot.

yeah, I did like the heavy trigger and slide but that's just me. I did some more searching and found out that its the SD hero wide. I think there was two more, SD hero 170 and the hero original but the 170 might be the original. It works and does what I want, im not uploading to youtube or anything.

Yes back on track hi point for camera. Yeah hi point looks strange to me looks too much for what u need it to do. Y does it look like that can someone tell me that?

What? the big blocky slide and little grip?
Title: Re: which gopro is this?
Post by: slipperymongoose on January 04, 2013, 04:56:07 PM
Yes
Title: Re: which gopro is this?
Post by: jjcardozo86 on January 04, 2013, 05:02:19 PM
not sure but its an 8 rd. The barrel, block and feed ramp are all one piece. Makes me think that's why the slide is so big, to compensate for the size of the chamber block piece.  :dunno_black: that's my guess anyway. but other than its looks, it was a pretty reliable pistol. http://www.youtube.com/user/Iraqveteran8888 has a review of it and they try to destroy it. Holds up pretty good.

I believed you :bowdown: just that every time I searched it I always got a picture of a hero without the look thru window. Was confusing the heck out of me. :thumb: ill save up and get a newer one soon.

There is a small red LED in that window too. It actually Flashes when the camera is recording.

Fair trade. The hi-point series of pistols are good for what they are: cheap, durable guns. Probably not the most accurate, and probably not the most reliable. How can you complain when it costs half as much as a Taurus, and 1/8th what a Beretta does?
Title: Re: which gopro is this?
Post by: john on January 06, 2013, 08:41:59 AM
Yes, but a Taurus is a vastly superior gun.  I love their millenium pro series.  Can be had for under $300.  Great IWB carry.  Not that I ever carry a gun.  They are loud and frightening...

True. And I'd probably never own a hi-point. I love Taurus also.
