Gopro hero3 silver with travel bag $199 amazon

[FishNinjaY]

I heard the black Hero3 has sucky battery life? I wondered about the wifi remote? I'd like to mount it up front on a dogbone arm, and just turn it on occasionally when my son is catching a fish.

thanks for the info guys..

The bad battery is due to the wifi so I avoid using it. But its pretty nice being able to control and view it on my iphone via wifi.

That's what I figured.. I'm actually thinking of getting the Hero2, plus the wifi bacpac, which has it's own battery. Even new on Amazon for both, it will be over $100 less than the Hero3 Black.

What about the remote? The black comes with a wifi remote.

I acutally traded mine for some surplus ammo I no longer needed. I maybe able to get one for $350 OTD if you are interrested.

WiFi BacPac: $29.99

Edit..

rats.. you're right Kevin .. no remote.
I guess I could use my iphone, but that'd be a pain in the a$s on the kayak.


Wifi BacPac + Remote: $135.99

http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-Wi-Fi-Ba...ds=wifi+bacpac

hmm... but it should still last longer than the Hero3 Black right? since it has it's own battery in the BacPac?
I don't know...

Another option is to get the larger optional battery.

I actually have extra wasabi batteries I can just pop in and out. The prob is that I stupidly mounted a RAM 1.5" ball (rocket tube) too far forward on my Oasis tandem. My son can't reach it easily. So, I think I'll put a rear-facing angled gopro there to catch both of us, but I need a remote since neither of us can reach it easily to turn it on and off.

BTW, I sent you a PM.
