skunk, i got the hero 3+ silver edition. i think the only difference is the remote and maybe the frames per second settings. i bought the additional batpac today ($45) that doubles the record time to about 4 hours. also if you have the wi fi enabled on the camera it sucks battery life.
i had looked at them, but was not really interested. then i took a friend who works for a tv station out fishing. he brought along a contour (similar to the go pro) and just lashed it to the bimini top rails. he just let it roll as we fished. got some great shots casting to and landing some mahi mahi and then some dolphin(flipper type) came up. he grabbed the camera and lashed it to the gaff and stuck it under water and got some great shots of the dolphin. my wife saw the videos and said we have to get one of those. mentioned it to my daughter and she said we have a promotion at work and can get 40% off retail.
as they say, the rest is history...
really wish i had something like this when the kids were little and we were able to do the keys trips more frequently
