GOPRO copy feedback wanted

A few places are selling these copys that look ok for around $130. Comes with various mounts, remote, can flip video after uploading, so I was told, 2.4" touch screen. I dont want to fork out for a hero3 just to get some deck footage and I like the idea of the remote and the screen for playback. Wondering if anyone has any feedback on them, Ill probably buy one anyhow unless a few people say they got one and they were rubbish, cheers

 my gopro 3 is a pita cant see what you have filmed or taken pics of till you get home and unload card, then again it was first time using a gopro, heard the 2's were great.

at least the one you have has a remote come with it, not an optional extra for more dollars

new app

The new app for android and iphone allows you to get live feed for video and also playback of your footage, so the free app becomes your remote control on your phone.

 Gopro is a pain in the ass. If your not professionally editing or viewing on HD, I don't think they are worth the money.

Seen the Kogan, like the

Seen the Kogan, like the wrist remote, does it have an indicator light on the front face when it is recording? I want to mount a camera on the bimini and dont want to guess when its recording and like the idea of having a remote, may be able to take ok pics when Im solo (if I get lucky lol). Also like the look of the NanoCamPro, dont think it has a remote tho. I would probably use the camera for other stuff, would likely entice me to go and do some more crazy stuff with a few toys just to get good rated footage haha. Cheers for the feedback fellas
