by Leave a Comment

Action camera stalwart GoPro has released a new generation of its popular Hero video recorders.

The new Hero 3 action cameras are 30 % smaller and 25% lighter than their GoPro HD Hero 2 predecessors. The GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition which is the top model shoots 12-megapixel still images, a 4K resolution video at 15 frames per second, 1440p video at 48fps, 1080p video at 60 fps, and 720p video at 120fps. The Black edition performs at twice the speed of the lower models, the Silver and White Editions. It also comes with a Wi-Fi-connected remote control and is compatible with a GoPro app for smartphones.  Next in the line-up is the GoPro Hero 3 Silver Edition, this one misses out on the  Wi-Fi remote control, app compatibility, and uses a different sensor offering 11-megapixel still images with a 10fps burst, 1080p video at 30fps, 960p at 48fps, and 720p at 60fps. The base model in GoPro’s action camera refresh is the White Edition. In the same body as the Silver Edition, its meant more for a consumer-level video and photo recording and features a 5-megapixel still images at a 3fps burst, 1080p 30fps video, 960p also at 30fps, and 720p at 60fps. A set of accessories are going to be offered with the Hero 3, including rear LCD screen, battery ‘BacPacs’, various mounting systems and video output cables.

 

 

Hit Girl to ride a purple Ducati in Kick-Ass 2

by Leave a Comment

So here’s the thing, have you ever wondered why do cape crusaders and super heroes love to have a pair of slick wheels? Well apparently it’s for helping them save the world and flaunt their larger than life style.

Now many of you movie freaks might be aware of a certain movie by the name of Kick-Ass, which had insane butt-kicking by teenage superheroes. Now for their second coming in the movie Kick-Ass 2, movie character ‘Hit Girl’ a pint-sized assassin will ride a purple colour Ducati Panigale and fight crime.

This might come as a surprise for many that Hit Girl actress, 15-year old Chloe Moretz, can’t ride,let alone do all the stunts and so a stunt-woman has taken over the motorcycle riding duties for her. As in the graphic novel Hit Girl rode a motorcycle, but the comic book’s custom shopper has been replaced with a state-of-the-art Ducati in order to to widen the appeal of the movie. With this super heroine ready to battle the bad guys, we bet the ‘Deep Purple Ducati’ will smoke them out.

Robocop is now a biker

RoboCop fans will recall the lead character driving around in a Ford Taurus, which was nearly as significant to the story as RoboCop himself.

Fans of the movie will have to wait till 2014, as the movie’s release has been pushed back from the original release date of August 2013.

However, the 2014 remake will see him riding two wheels less! Yes – the vehicle of choice is now a sleek new futuristic motorcycle, with a black color scheme and elegant styling to match the lead character’s outfit. The bike features angular fairings and wheel covers for a sci-fi look. The ergonomics have also caught attention – there is a high seat, very low clip-on handlebars, and rear set foot pegs mounted far back on the swingarm, which makes for a virtually lying-down position when riding the bike. The special effects’ gear fitted to the bike makes it difficult to guess the identity of the donor bike. It has cues from Buell designs (possibly the 1125R), and the undoctored brake calipers remind one of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (2008 or 2010).
