Which GoPro To Buy? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My buddy works for gopro so he hooked it up with the hero4 black. Honestly, if you don't have a good computer you won't even be able to play to footage back without it glitching. All you need is 1080p at 30fps to shoot your fishing! If you want some slow-mo ... convert to film in post to 24fps. Slows it down just enough. But, since I have the black edition I just shoot in 1080@60fps and convert to 24fps in post. I know that sounds like jargin but it suits well for fishing videos.

I too shoot a ton of still photos and I actually have a housing for my 5dmk2. But that shit is way too bulky to take on the kayak. I don't see any reason why you should spend the money on the black, get the basic one and you will be stoked!
