I will be getting the GoPro Hero 3 Silver soon. I am in the process of building a 6 propped drone to use for work and it will have the motorized gimbal for the gopro.

They are saying it doesn't have a good picture past 30ft or so cause it doesn't zoom. They actually do make zoom attachments. I have never played with one so I cant say how well that zoom works.

There are a bunch of videos out there just watch a few and see if you think they will be good for what you are needing. And don't forget they make small video cameras with zoom so you may want to go that way.

i am member of tOB GoPro Master Race, 79

and i can tell you without a doubt, getting into GoPro right now i would get 2 of the new hero's, some extra batteries and harness/mounts/etc and not looks back..

they are getting awesome reviews and even have a friend who got one that has used it everyday and he wished he has gotten two instead of the GPH4B


and GoPro is going to be on the cusp of ground breaking poacher/trespassing detection.. so thugs like B$b will be put in his place!

do you think you will enjoy editing videos? If not then you probably won't ever use it.

If you do think you will like cutting, editing, selecting background music etc. then you will probably get some use out of it.

I just ordered the new Sony camera. It should be coming in today.
I have a fishing trip lined up in November that I plan to try it out on. Also hope to hit the woods a time or 2 before then as well.

How is the Sony different than a GoPro?

In the comparison videos on youtube, the sony seems to have better color and better low light. Also steady shot is pretty solid.
This version is "Splashproof" out of the case and has tripod attachment without the case.

ETA: Sony has GPS as well.

Just got a GP Hero 3 White last week as a bday gift. I look forward to filming some hunts and especially snow ski runs

Most people aren't morbidly obese and might get some use from them. I got some great stuff from my kids this weekend. But then again a had to stand up to do it.
