    Which one to get? I don't really want to spend $450 on one...was looking on eBay. I would like to get one for duck, turkey, and deer. Thanks in advance

    hero 3 black is a really good one but it's not going to give you in your face video footage just fair warning.
    You've got one life. Blaze on!

    Yeah I've been watching some on YouTube and that's what I was gathering...is the 4 better as far as zoom or clarity? I'm trying to ask why it cost more

    I was the same way. I gotthe 3 black last fall and love the pic quality. Anything I needed to zoom on for still pics could be handled with basic photo software. I have used it hog hunting and duck hunting and had no issues. Just bought a shotgun bottom mount so will use that here shortly.

    I wanted to bump this thread as I'm in the market for one too. What's a better option if you want more zoom? Also, what's the practical difference between the silver and black editions?

    Costco has a 3 black bundle for $350.

    Two batteries charger and remote. Pretty good deal.

    Check out Sony's version of the action camera. Watch some videos on Youtube comparing them to the GoPro. The sound is better, the picture is clearer and it offers zoom for a fraction of the cost.

    They also come with a clip that fits GoPro accessories.

    I'm no expert but I've used both , and the 4 is much improved over the 3. You can record in 4k, and it does better while in motion.

    It's clearer than 1080p. I don't think tv's can be that clear yet.

    Extra batteries! Buy extra batteries!

    If you use the app or remote it sucks the battery.

    And the batteries for the 4 don't fit previous versions and vice versa

    My main use would be to mount on the bow for bowhunting or shotgun for turkey hunting. What would y'all recommend? I've heard the go pro 3 black was the way to go, not to sound racist.

    I don't know which models feature this but get one that can record in the narrow view. The ones that only record in the wide view make something at 10yds look like it is 80yds away. An extended battery pack wouldn't hurt either.
