Action camera!!!

[jdhoward]

I want one! If I'm talking to the wife then "I need it". Anyways, what should I get. Some qualities I'm looking for are; ease of use, doesn't get in the way, doesn't break easy, waterproof, and others I can't think of. I use to be big on technology but then I started tree work and have drifted from all that fancy stuff. So I need something that is easy to use and has software available that is almost automatic, as far as editing goes. Also I'm looking to upload to the youtubes, if that helps as far as software.

I have a go pro hero 3 Silver edition that I might let go if you're interested.

I don't know. A lot of the review on amazon are bad.

I'm not sure what reviews you're looking at, but the ones I find are very positive.

My day job is video work, and I've owned and operated many different cameras. If you have any questions or concerns I'd be happy to answer them and point you in the right direction.

Check out August Hunicke's videos on youtube if you have any doubt of the capability of a go pro. Best action camera out there in my opinion. I've tried some of the knock offs, including the contour action cams and Sj4000's, they are the poulan's of the video camera industry.

I'll have to look in my bag and see everything that comes with it. I know for sure I have 3-4 batteries, charger, various mounts, a sandisk class 10 32gb micro SD card, waterproof/shock proof housing, and necessary cables.

Without the bag I could do $200 shipped, with the bag $200 plus shipping. If interested I'll send pics.

Here's a short video I did a couple years back, shot at 720p 120fps with no color or exposure correction done, all raw footage.
