    I'm looking at buying an Epic Instant On for recording my fishing and hunting. I was just curious for the people who had it how good is the audio. I just wanted to get a POV camera for now until I get a better camera. Any pros and cons will help also. Thanks

    If you stand say 3-4 feet in front of it and talk loudly, it is ok. If you are behind it, forget about it.

    I will try to make quick demo video with it this weekend so you can hear the audio from different angles

    That'd be awesome and greatly appreciated. Do you or SharpEyeSam know how the audio compares to a go pro?

    You don't need to anymore but thanks for the offer. I have decided on the Go Pro Hero 3+ Silver.
