A little while ago I posted these here when using a 30fps compact digital camera to film some R/C action. I now have a GoPro 3+.

Some conclusions are that slow mo is still best done with camera hardware like a Gopro with 60fps ++
Have any videographers experimented with the 60 fps 1080p versus the 120fps in 720p for youtube/pc based videos?
Does the 120fps give smooth slow motion?
Any other quick tips for using the Gopro for R/C videos that you could share would be appreciated.
Anyone got news on the Gopro4 with 240fps at 720p??
Thank you.
software slowmo is time consuming and hardware heavy. Your GoPro at 120fps@720 is hands down a better choice.

Thank you.
it absolutely does!

I got a gopro 3+ but can't edit the 720@120fps vision in premier elements 8. anyone recommend some good software that doesn't jump and freeze up? thanks
premier elements 8 or higher would be fine on bigger hardware than i was running at the time. I'm using an core i5 iMac with iMovie and it been mostly good but premier elements 8 is better in some aspects.

JRapid is 110% correct!
here is an edited vid on some classic vintage r/c action I shot recently with slow mo between 20% and 50% but mostly 25% to 33%
any questions/comments/thoughts are welcomed for discussion.
