Gopro Hero 4 Silver ?

[jdman]

Hello all, I am new here looking to get into vlogging. One of the cams I am looking at is the GoPro 4 Silver. Since it now has Bluetooth, will it pair to a Bluetooth headset like the Prism does or, do you still have to have a hard wired mic? I am also considering a Drift Ghost and the Prism.

Thanks in advance and nice to meet you all.

Just finished editing a video of GoPro vs drift. For ease of setup the drift wins.

Hey man and welcome! What do you ride?

I don't personally have one, but I'll look into it. I'd think that the Bluetooth function is for connection to the app and not for auxiliary devices. But I can't be sure.

Pretty sure this is the case and if I'm honest the captured sound on the microphone would be better wired

Thanks for the welcome! I have a 2016 Harley Night Rod Special in Olive Gold and a 2016 BMW R1200GSA in ocean blue. Love them both!

Thanks, That's the main reason I bought it. was sitting on the fence for a few years on a Night rod but when they came out with this color for '16, I had to have it.

Where can I find you video of this? Also kicking around the Tomtom Bandit. Looks easy to use but i think the price is a bit salty.
Also, I see the Drift has a clone mode. Can you control Gopro through the remote of the Drift?
Thanks.

Release on that vid is 2 weeks away. The clone mode is so you can use one drift remote with more than one camera. It's what I plan to do at some stage. Get a 2nd drift for another view then I don't have to worry about lining the footage up.

What I am thinking is to get the drift for on the helmet and a Gopro for other views and for other uses due to the many mounting options. I have a modular helmet and dont really like the idea of the Gopro sticking off the side of the helmet. If the Drift would control the Gopro would be a plus to me I think. Like I said I am new to this though and clueless except for reviews and footage I've been looking at.
Thanks!

That's what I'm doing. Drift on the helmet GoPro on the bike. Eventually I'll replace the GoPro with another drift.

I just took the plunge and brought the Drift Ghost S. What software do you recommend for editing?
Thanks.
