Go-Pro Knockoff for Hunting/Fishing

I've never tried any of the knockoffs, but GoPro has a few "entry level" cameras. I have the Hero+. Got it for about $150. It's a pretty good camera. Don't know why, but it's much more expensive on amazon right now. However, there are some refurbs for about $115.

Hero 3 and 4s can be had for decent prices these days and are basically all the average user needs.

I’ve been using a Hero 3 silver ( model with Bluetooth and WiFi) and with HD at 30fps the videos have been all I really need.

Made several fishing videos for what it’s worth.

You're right, especially used. You can get a used 3 in the $100 range, a used 4 around $175-200, and used 5s seem to go around $300. A ton of people buy them and don't hardly use them. If you go used though stick to eBay, seems most of the local for sale pages have people listing GoPros for practically what the paid 2-3 years ago.

If you're looking for something to film hunts though a traditional camera may be best, the GoPro has a ton of applications but the lack of zoom makes them almost useless to film far off things.

Tacticam.

Lightdow on amazon. Camera, case, ton of attachments, wifi, and a spare battery for $52 when I ordered mine.

This is what I have and have ZERO complaints. And unlike GoPro, it has zoom feature.

Here's a video I took under water to see what a castnet looks like when it sinks. This was set at 720 resolution.

ETA: I just watched the youtube video and it must lose resolution when it uploads, because it seems much clearer than that on the original.

Thanks fellas, may check out this Lightdow camera, looks hard to beat for the price. Just what I'm looking for

Check out the Akaso brand it was like 80 bucks and worked for a cruise I took to cozumel

I bought a 4K knockoff on Amazon for like 70$. And a huge accessory mount kit for 19$. The camera is Apeman brand. Look them up on YouTube there are tons of reviews. I film using the 1080p at 60fps.
