I appreciate good optical quality, I like functional value for money spent, and I don't like being milked for bells & whistles we don't need that are frivolous add-on sales. I simply want to do a good job without wasting unnecessary money. Low light capability is always a plus.

For kayaking, fishing, and mounting to the fender of my hot rod to explore making some fun youtube videos, which GoPro model is the one to have now and which accessories should be bought at the same time?

I'm in a time crunch, so if those of you who have them can guide me, I would be much appreciative.

Hero+LCD $300
Hero 4 Black (appears to have no LCD, which seems odd to me) $500
Hero 4 Silver with LCD $400

Is the LCD important? It seems they left that feature off of their most expensive camera.

Thank you
you might want to check out sony action camera. better quality video and not a bulky square. if you compare the video side by side i prefer sony action camera every time. just another thought also look in to how your going to be filming action camera and gopro have different ways you can wear them. this is a big factor to me as wearing a gopro on your chest sucks for fishing and the go pro head mount realy sucks as well. hurts my head.
I switched to the sony action camera I love it

this is a comparison video
