    So far this camera with the remote has worked perfectly! I am in the tree behind the deer!

    Hope you dont try and arrow a deer like that one, and have a pass through the deer, and the go pro.. that would be an expensive doe.

    Nice. I think I'm going to add one of those to my arsenal.

    Wait until AFTER October 1st... I'm sworn to secrecy, so I can't say any more than that.

    I would like to get one. But I don't know it I would get enough use out of the heavy price tag.

    I'd be afraid of hitting the camera.

    Have any of you guys tried attaching a GoPro to your bow? I know a lot of guys use their cell phones that way, but I haven't seen any talk about using a GoPro on the bow.

    I've never tried that. To be fair I've only shot at targets so far. I'm hoping this year will be my first kill with a bow. Based on my limited knowledge though, as long as you practice with it on the bow I'm sure it would work fine.

    Like I said, I'm sworn to secrecy, so I can't really say anything. I can tell you there's a good reason that Cabela's and Gander dropped the price, and Bass Pro isn't reordering yet...

    It's after the 1st and I'm interested in purchasing one haha. Did I miss the announcement?? Or are you referring to the 3+?


    Put your chin up, pull your hat down, and be a cowboy.

    and the Hero3+ is $399 black edition and $299 silver edition at Best Buy. So an upgrade without an increase in cost, nice!

    Very cool camera. Did you know that they have an app for smart phones that allows you to have some more control of your camera? I know for a fact that you can see what your camera sees and it may turn the camera on as well.

    The size and weight reduction are pretty nice if you've ever worn a GoPro on your head. Battery life is around 50% longer, and STILL weighs less. WiFi is 4x faster. Higher quality glass lens. SuperView is pretty interesting.

    If you're shooting professional video, you're going to love being able to match frame rate without having to convert anything.

    I have seen them on sale all over and I thought I seen the black for $299 but could be mistaken.

    I may go pick one up today...It is worth the additional $100 to get the black over silver?
