I know nothing of GoPro and know I can afford a second hand "GoPro Hero".

I know I can't afford a numbered one (e.g. GoPro Hero 3 / 4 / 5).

Thus I am looking at those without a number and only shows GoPro Hero.

There are however from what I see, at least 2 versions of these (unnumbered) GoPro Heros. . Number 1: enter image description here enter image description here

Update : Its the HD Hero 1080 (HD Hero Naked)

Number 2:

enter image description here enter image description here

Update : Its the Hero and its housing is integrated

Questions:

  1. I suspect there is the original GoPro Hero HD Original 2012 and a budget 2014 one - is this correct?

  2. Is it the GoPro Hero HD Original 2012 in Number 1 in the pictures?

  3. Is it the same camera as the image in Number 2?

  4. I couldn't get a picture of the back of Number 2, but I've seen that it some do not have the Resolutions at the back - does this mean they are totally different cameras with different specs?

  5. It looks like some of the GoPro Hero's (not numbered ones) can take Wifi - and others not. If I am on the right track that there are 2 different GoPro Heros- am I correct that the 2014 budget one cannot take Wifi, but the Original HD 2012 one can take Wifi?

The first camera is the GoPro HD Hero (2009). It physically looks identical to the GoPro Hero 960 (2010), but it can capture 1080p and had a higher MSRP.

The second camera could be a Hero 3 (2012), 3+ (2013), or 4 (2014) - with the blackout housing. I can't tell anything more from the pictures, but it's at least a Hero 3.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Hi dpollitt, thanks for reply. The second camera does not have a number - it just states "GoPro" as well, where all GoPro 3's that I've seen show the "GoPro 3" in the bottom right corner (just confirmed with seller its not GoPro3) \$\endgroup\$
