Jon26 10 #2 Posted March 3, 2016 I recently got a GoPro from Costco, they were in stock, but not close to £100. If you want a cheaper poorer quality one perhaps try an sj4000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tzijlstra 11 #4 Posted March 4, 2016 GoPro's are great kit, I used one at work to film some focus groups and it was such a joy to work with, they just do what they say on the can, but they do it well. The ones I used were older than the ones you linked to if memory serves me well, don't really keep up with their development.

alchresearch 213 #6 Posted March 4, 2016 GoPro's are often updated and their fans often like to buy the latest version, so you can sometimes pick up a good condition second hand one cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RootsBooster 24 #12 Posted March 7, 2016 Chill Mr Xiaomi. To the average person, it's a GoPro copy. Only in the same way that a GoPro is a scaled down copy of a Nikkon coolpix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
