Please Answer I want to get the cheaper version but still 1080p and with a good amount of FPS which one should I get?

[Getawaymoments]

@iTzBoney Either the hero 1 or 2. The new hero2 is great , but for 100 bucks less the hero 1 is fine. I shoot mainly 720 at 60fps, no complaints. Any more questions, fire away.

[locouk]

Is there a time lapse software built into the go pro to stitch the photos together at 30/60fps?

If not, what software do you use please? 

[Getawaymoments]

@locouk No, no software comes with the gopro. I use an old version of Avid express pro HD. You can use i-movie and even quicktime pro to make time lapses .... search how to on youtube and you might find a good answer for you.

@waiting4winter36 Thanks, at the moment I'm using a program called Makeavi. It is an .exe that is opened every time you want to use it so it dosen't actually install full time on your hard drive. You have to run the set up each time you need to use it.

@locouk gopro just came out with a very basic video editing software called gopro cineform studio.

i have found that after you 'stitch' your photos together into a video, the video has to be sped up even more, which is pretty easy on almost any of your regular video editing software.

sick time lapse by the way.
