Just a quick mention that the new ones are expected imminently so as these will then be two gens behind these will be cheap and or the 4K current session will reduce to around this money which also has stabilisation so may be worth waiting a month or so if you can hold out as I predict these will be a bargain on Black Friday

What's the difference between this and a normal Gopro Hero4

You need to link this with a smart phone to control it

You do not need anything to control it. You just press the button on top. You CAN use the smartphone app as a viewfinder though to make sure you have it positioned correctly. :smile:

Morning all,
I was thinking of a getting some kind of Go-Pro (or non-brand version) for my daughter (9 years old) as a birthday present. She's fairly adventurous,(Skating, surfing, cycling etc.) so I thought this might be something she could use to record her various activities with the appropriate mounts.
Firstly is this a sane idea? Has anyone got one for their kids that actually got goof footage / fun out of them?
Secondly, the Go-Pro brand is in reality out of my price range, but are there any others which match the quality / range of mounts?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

I have a Xiaomi Yi which is a high standard substitute to a go pro. I don't know how strict she is on the quality of footage she has, but most cheap action cams can capture footage that you can watch back. Unless you are editing and uploading somewhere the quality won't be an issue. As for the mounts, most cheap action cams have lots available and are usually the same ones that fit go pro too.

Yep the SJCAMs are worth a look - they might be branded as Xiaomi now.

Hi, I bought my son the Hero 3+ for Christmas two years ago when he was 10, he loves it, and still does - he always takes it out with him. He is a mountain biker and we've also used it to go down waterslides on holiday (!!) and skiing, he uses it so often, I can highly recommend one. I don't know all the different specs etc, but I know that the ones with wireless connectivity are good because he can immediately watch his clip on his phone. He spends ages doing edits and making videos after he's been out riding. My eleven year old daughter wants one this Christmas, I am considering this deal but need to investigate the specs a bit more !! There are a hundred and one mounts you can get too.

I got a Garmin Virb for under £80 a while back, quality is great and it came with an adaptor for the GoPro mounts as well as the Garmin mounts. I use it with a GoPro bike mount.

I am sure I only paid about 120 for this about 8 months ago?
