Downside is that the battery is built in so you can't swap it with a full one when empty.

I got a heap of accessories  from dx.com not the quickest place on earth to get stuff from. But it has a near endless amount of accessories you can get.

Got myself a few from here too. Cheap as chips, like only a few $ for basic mounts, including some decent looking alloy ones. Also got a case for my hero 3 for less than half a genuine one so I could switch between skeleton and water proof back doors easily.

Before I brought my Gopro I considered a lot of other options, including some of the cheaper cameras that look almost like a Gopro copy.  They did look pretty good value at the time when compared to the $240 I was going to outlay for the Gopro Hero 3, however the deciding factor for me was the picture quality, ease of use, support and ability to get parts and mounts.  Even though the specs on some of these cameras seem comparable to a Gopro, most can only produce a reasonable picture when the conditions (lighting) are near perfect.  I do a lot of filming in low light conditions and the quality of the Gopro video is still amazing.  From the reviews I read most cheaper cameras failed miserably in that respect.

I guess it comes down to what type of filming you are doing, and what result you expect.

so lookin to get one myself now... Want for bulbar mounting and also for diving..

So going off the main site for info -> http://shop.gopro.com/APAC/cameras  I'd go for either White or Silver...

They are both supposed to be "Waterproof to 131’ (40m)" - but you can buy an underwater housing for them... are they water proof or.... ???

My understanding is that they all come in a waterproof housing.

I have a 3Sixt without wifi and it isn't bad for $49, but it definately isn't a Gopro.

GoPro Hero 3 Black... But it's probably equivalent to the silver Hero 4 I think... haven't kept up with all the latest releases.

Hi Mate,
I ended up getting Hero4 silver from jb hifi. It comes with a waterproof case as std. Then you can get all sorts of mounts. Took mine away camping on the weekend to have a play with it.

My gopro hero 3 (white) came with the waterproof housing rated to 60m.  I've made a rig for mine that I drop down when fishing and we've easily had it to 60m, no problems.  Picture is still pretty good at those depths too....

Nope, wireless doesn't work underwater.  I just press record on the gopro on and drop it down on the rig we made, near the bottom, then review the footage back at home.  We drift fish and have recorded some pretty interesting stuff.
