What about the basic GoPro Hero? Some limitations, but the price is right.

u/sternenhimmel · 3 pointsr/Multicopter

Just so you know, the new GoPro hero is only $129. It's essentially a lighter, WiFi-enabled version of their original GoPro. http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1417198095&sr=1-1&keywords=gopro+hero

u/TheZincSaucier · 3 pointsr/gadgets

No, it only shuts off if it's not doing anything. It stays on for filming.
I don't really mind the 5 minute per file limit since most of my videos are short.

Have you seen this one? Only $130.
2 reasons I didn't go with that one are that I like the Cube's magnet mount, and the Cube is more pocket-friendly.

u/hardonchairs · 3 pointsr/NoStupidQuestions

There's one in the newest line that's $120.

Edit:
http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO

Looks like its $130 actually.

Keep in mind that there are all different price points for the last two lines, so pretty much any amount you are willing to spend there's either a hero3 or hero4. Of course the features get better as you move up.

u/GiantShyGuy · 2 pointsr/photography

What is a good budget waterproof camera for photography? Would I jut fare well with this? https://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO/

It doesn't have an LCD to view it...

u/dinkvlogs · 2 pointsr/vlogging

I currently use my S6 for all the vlogs I record since that's the only really decent camera I have. It's funny you asked this question because I'm looking for another camera around this price point.

If you bump your budget up like $10 you could get into decent cameras to start off.

The GoPro hero retails at $129.99 on Amazon, but you could maybe find it cheaper used on eBay or something. It'll shoot 1080 at 30fps and 60fps at 720. Only thing is that it doesn't have a lcd screen so you won't be able to preview any footage. This was my first choice since I was looking for an action cam. The wifi one is like $199 and will allow you to preview footage on your phone, but for that price you could get something else like the GoPro session that shoots 4k and is smaller.

The Nikon CoolPix L340 is like $130-ish on Amazon (probably cheaper somewhere else) . It has a fixed lense and shoot only 720p video. I'm assuming probably just 30fps.

There are also some Samsung point and shoots around this price and lower, but the out of the box sound quality is probably terrible. I'd go with with either the GoPro or the CoolPix to start. You could also jump up into the $199 range which starts to offer very good quality. OR....you could also buy one of those handy cams too lol. I have one and it shoots decent video (1080/720 w/ 24-60 fps), but I feel stupid using it outside the house. Hope this helps a little bit! Good luck in your vlogging ☺.

Duh, I didn't link what I was trying to here. Here

Sorry about that.

Yo me compraria la nueva GoPro que es bastante barata $129, y creo que es bastante mejor que la polaroid.

u/cloudywater1 · 2 pointsr/Toughmudder

hard to beat this GP it records at 1080p, has decent battery life. Check out my videos I recorded this one in 720p and it still looks great, i have another one at Savage race at 1080p and it looks damn good.

dont be afraid to buy an older model, unless you think you need 4K or something, the older ones work great and for a fraction of the cost.

u/mojorockshard · 2 pointsr/hardwareswap

Is it the same Hero from Amazon for $95? https://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO

u/Randum311 · 2 pointsr/chibike

The very inexpensive goPro - gives me around 4 hours or so battery - this one is running at 720p 60fps but can do 1080p@30fps, but I find a lot of screen tearing. Here is a link to the exact one: http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

And you can order pretty much any mount off Amazon as well depending on where you want to place it.

u/LeonelRiosC · 2 pointsr/letsplay

well i found this cameras that records at 720p 60fps.

  • GoPro HERO at $138.99USD in canadian dollars $179.70CAD
  • Sereer HDV-501 at $108USD in CAD $140.64CAD

    This is more expensive and records 1080p 60fps

  • Sony DSCWX220/B at $178USD in CAD $231.79CAD

    if you find this expensive, i will keep searching.

  1. Have you considered taking her skydiving or parasailing? That could be cool.

  2. A weekender bag, for quick trips.

  3. A portable bluetooth speaker.

  4. A GoPro, for her crazy adventures.

  5. An OlloClip, for her iPhone.

    Let me know what you think of these ideas. I'd be more than happy to offer more suggestions :)

u/James_Rustler_ · 1 pointr/explainlikeimfive

Washington post article "Yes you can record the police." I use this GoPro on my motorcycle. I've been pulled over a couple times with it recording but have't caught anything interesting.

u/8bitesq · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

The new Go PRO Hero from the newer lineup is an entry model version at $129.99. It was made specifically to give people on a budget as much of the Go PRO functionality as possible on a budget.

u/Voyezlesprit · 1 pointr/gopro

Okay, slightly loaded question.

  1. Don't worry about having nothing to film with it. You'll find things to film. I've filmed sports practices, spontaneous nights out, and even attached my GoPro to my DSLRs horseshoe to get a nice random POV while photographing. If you're creative and feel like you WANT to FIND things to film with it then get it. World's most versatile camera by far.

  2. In response to your "is it worth buying" outright question, the way I look at it is that the Hero 4 is a (semi) pro-level camera. If you're Joe Bloggs who wants a camera to capture their holiday, or get some sweet selfies for Facebook - don't bother with the 4. A second hand 3 or even better the new plain [Hero] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NIYNUXO/ref=s9_al_bw_g421_i4) will suit you A LOT better. If you want more production values, sweet slow-motion, better looking night shots get the 4.
u/dabluebunny · 1 pointr/ClayBusters

Gopro's starter package more expensive, but you get amazing video without having to buy their newest version.

u/kyzen · 1 pointr/Multicopter

Not really doable at $300, but I can get you close.

Quadcopter

  • Cheerson CX-20/Quanum Nova - $255 - $300 (needs battery) - or ~$330 on ebay shipped from the US

  • Blade 350 QX3 RTF - $414 @ Horizon Hobby w/ coupon code XTRA10

  • Walkera QR X350 - $300

  • DIY - $70 Turnigy 9X + ~$150 F450 clone kit + ~$30 charger + ~$20 battery + $20 mount for camera (+$~75 APM if you want GPS) = ~$290-$365, plus any tools/assembly supplies you don't have on hand.

    Camera

  • SJ4000 - $65

  • Mobius - $80

  • GoPro Hero - $130

    All prices are from a search I put near-zero effort into; you may be able to shave off a few bucks if you do some digging.

    The Blade is the best of the 3 prebuilt quadcopters listed, the other 2 are a bit of a toss-up. DIY could net the highest quality, depends on your skills and how much effort you want to put in.

    EDIT: Also worth noting that "good camera" and "FPV" sometimes don't mesh well. Stereotypically, FPVers fly fast and crash hard, while folks with "good cameras" on their quadcopters are flying slow, dangling the camera on a stabilized platform, taking pictures or video. You certainly can fly those camera rigs FPV, but it won't be the same sort of experience as FPV on a 250mm racer.
u/Jamaican_In_NY · 1 pointr/bicycling

They start at $129. I'm willing to bet anyone reading this right now is using something that costs more than that.

http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1420315110&sr=1-1&keywords=gopro

u/PureAdrenallen · 1 pointr/technology

The $120 model takes exceptional video and is more than enough for 90% of what people use them for.

u/mellofello808 · 1 pointr/Hawaii

I second the go pro idea. Even the cheap one takes great looking video, and is waterproof. $130 on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1450334294&sr=1-3&keywords=gopro

The most valuable things I have from my travels are my photos, and hawaii will take full advantage of that go pro durability.

u/siradoro · 1 pointr/Multicopter

A GoPro like this plus a gimbal is around 300. I don't want it professional just better than putting an old phone and using the camera on it.

u/merchantfilm · 1 pointr/videoproduction

At that price point, you may want to consider spending the money on a rig for your phone. Otherwise you could check out the new base model GoPro Hero.

I would not recommend a webcam necessarily or any traditional style handicam near that price.

u/nimbusnacho · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

For 100? They just announced the entry level gopro that runs just a bit more money. I'd go for that over this. http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1412694510&sr=8-7&keywords=gopro

u/wwpieeater · 1 pointr/Niskayuna

They're becoming less and less expensive. You can grab one of the drones for $350 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00AGOSQI8/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all (the ones from Amazon Warehouse Deals are just a bit banged up on the outside)) and the new GoPro Hero is $130 (http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHA-301-HERO/dp/B00NIYNUXO/). If you're looking to go more high end, look into FPV streaming, the DJI Phantom 2, the Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and the GoPro Hero 4 Black. DJI even has a professional line that can carry DSLRs. It's definitely fun, but it's also really worrying, knowing that every time I launch I'm putting $1k+ in the air with huge potential for property damage. I've had some awkward conversations with neighbors. At the end of production for that video, I couldn't see the drone because it was so high up. We found it four days later about half a mile away. Right at the end was when the radio cut out. Try it out, but keep in mind that we live pretty close to some airports. The FAA says that all aircraft like this drone must be three miles away from any airports and must stay below 300 feet (one football field). I'd love to see what you get if you try it out. It'd also be a great father son activity as there's lots of maintenance, studying and practicing involved. Overall... GO FOR IT!

u/SirAmedusDerpingtons · 1 pointr/bicycling

Simply titled 'Gopro Hero'. Lowest priced one there is. Can't find it on the GoPro site so perhaps it's out of production.

u/MajConnolly · 1 pointr/gopro

So i'm looking @ getting a gopro for my helmet when i go riding my motorcycle & i was wondering what the biggest difference i wound seen between Gopro hero & the Gopro hero4 silver as of right now i just want it incase anything were to happen while riding. But idk later down the road if my friends wanted to see them i would edit them into a video like some motovlogers do i guess

This is what I'm using. I'm not looking to spend too much since I'm going to be using in pretty rugged conditions (8 weeks in remote Bolivia) so I think I'd rather run with the quality then upgrade.

The case doesn't seem like it's the kind that comes off but I'll see what I can do without breaking it.

This is what my girlfriend got me two years ago for christmas, quite a bit cheaper than the hero 4 but honestly still takes great looking video. Only difference is you cant take the camera out of the case, can't change the battery, and has less filming options, but it will still do 720p 60fps or 1080p 30fps and take pictures, which is really all I needed.

u/wrofl · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

I believe it is the original. Here is the amazon link

u/Xpat123 · 0 pointsr/Brunei

A Gopro is a pretty good investment as it's not so restricting as a dash cam meaning you can use it as a action camera as well. They do an affordable ($200 instead of $500)
