Which action camera?

[greatwhitehunter]

After doing some research for a few months now, I am still in the market for an action camera. I think Go Pro is probably at the top of the list right now but was wondering what everyone is using? Pros and cons of any type of camera would be great! I will be using it for waterfowl, bow and bowfishing for sure.

I recently got the JVC Adixxion. It has built in Wifi and view screen. is shock proof (6.5 foot drop) and water proof (16 Ft.) and freeze proof without need of additional housing. The biggest con and 1 which keeps me from using it much is the lack of mounting options. It has a built in standard tripod mount and can be mounted to goggles or helmets. They currently have no options for shotguns or bows. the second big con is that the screen is either Top or side mounted depending on how you hold or have the camera mounted leaving you to pretty much guess if what you are filming is in frame. It does take pretty good videos, I paid $159 for mine.

Check out ContourHD's product line.

Also - I hear the GoPro2's are more refined compared to the GoPro3's. Lots of rushing to release the GP3's in time for xmas caused lots of issues.

Lusid - do you have a contour of any kind? After researching them this afternoon, I definitely like the contour roam and from the reviews and videos i've seen, looks like it would be perfect for what I need it for!

Sony has one out too. Don't know much about it, but it is another option to consider.

I have a GoPro Hero2 and it works well.

Here is a thread about the GoPro that has been going for a little over a year now. Some good info in there.
