GoPro - HERO+ LCD HD Waterproof Action Camera

For a long time I wanted a GoPro because I wanted to start filming my fishing excursions and I wanted one with a screen so I could see what I was filming. Unfortunately buying the brand new GoPros wasn't going to help my college budget. Then I saw this model and was instantly hooked. It may not be the latest model but I feel like for what I paid I got more than my money's worth. The camera comes with an LCD screen,all the charging accessories, and it is built in to a waterproofing case. I've submerged this camera countless times to get some really cool shots and the clarity is crystal clear. Very easy to use and not pushing maximum dollars. I'll never regret this purchase.

This camera was worth every penny. Absolutely wonderful. Footage is crisp and pictures are phenomenal. Underwater? Breathtaking experience. I can't wait to hit the water parks with it.

Bought this for my daughter to take for her semester abroad in China. She reports it works well for video and stills and has uploaded a bunch to dropbox, thanks to the built-in wifi!

My first GoPro and I just love it. Water proof, great resolution and free video editing app/software. You can't ask for anything else. Definitely recommended!!!

Really easy to use! Touchscreen allows for easy navigation through different menus. Great videos and pictures!

We bought the bundle accessories and it was perfect

I bought this camera as an open box item as I was new to the whole "GoPro" movement. I had used other small action cameras but they didn't have the resolution that this camera has. I went on vacation to Playa Del Carmen and I took awesome pictures and videos, both under water and none. The picture resolution is good enough, they come out crisp and clear. The video at it's highest fps is more than adequate for an average-to-moderate user. (Maybe even for those use it a lot). Quality is great and feels sturdy in your hand. Don't be fooled because you can't remove the camera from it's case, it's small enough to the point that "who cares anyways". CONS The audio is kind of bad underwater with its thickest screen cover. I had left it on for entire trip because I was going to be around water about 80% of my trip. So I didn't bother taking the other two covers. I did try to take video without the cover, and the audio recorded was a little better. I am not sure if this is a "one of" issue or if it's an issue with this model. Overall, I do recommend it to people on a budget, you get the majority of the benefits of the higher end GoPro models at a fraction of the cost. It has a touchscreen which is neat but not needed. I like the touch screen because it also lets you see what you're recording.

This is my first GoPro and I don't have experience with GoPros prior to this. After reading a lot of online reviews trying to decide between the HERO4 or the HERO+ LCD, I settled on this one because it was highly reviewed as a good beginner GoPro and not nearly as expensive as the HERO4. And truly it was really easy to use, the LCD makes recording and changing settings super convenient, and there are only 3 buttons (again, simplicity). It doesn't come with an internal SD card, and online reviews said I should go no larger than the 64GB micro SD, so I got 2 cards, each could handle 5.5 hours of recording at 30fps and 1080p. The only major complaint I have is that the battery life is very short. With a brand new GoPro, I barely hit 2 hours of runtime before the battery completely died on me. I try to save battery by auto-shutting off the LCD after 1 min, and keeping the wifi turned off, and powering the whole device down if I know I'm not using it for more than 15 min before my next recording destination. It helps stretch out the battery life to about 3 hours but having to do these "workarounds" can be quite annoying. Other than that, I'm quite happy with the GoPro HERO+ LCD thus far. I also bought the GoPole, wifi remote, quick clip and head mount, and the car mounts, and some other accessories. They amounted to almost the same cost as the GoPro itself, so be warned that accessories can almost double the price of your entire system. But some of the accessories came in super handy (eg GoPole, car mounts).
