Just curious which one you went with? The surf, outdoor or motorsport? Seems they all have some stuff I want for fishing and just can't decide.

Thanks for the help.

I have 2 of them.

I got them at best buy and they only had the Outdoor Edition.

If I had to do it over again , I would have gotten one Outdoor and one Motosport. If I had to choose between just one, I would get the Motosport edition.

The included accessory in the Outdoor Edition is the Hat Strap (which I dont even use)

The included accessory in the Motosport edition is the handlebar mount.

I also got the "chest strap" accessory. I like that view alot better than the hat view. It gets the hook set, and rod/reel action alot better.

I got the suction cup mount accessory as well, and use that one the most.

Another accessory I got was the battery pack for both; it doubles the life of the run time. I also got the orange floatation devices that stick to the back of the GoPro itself, for 14 bucks, thats a no brainer insurance policy!

Lastly, go to GoPole.com and get the GoPole , you can attach it to the GoPro and stick the 3 ft pole down in the water.

PM me if you have any questions!

I have the Hero motorsports edition, with the handle bar mount you can get some cool shots like this.

I have the Motorsports edition. I use the handlebar attachment on my light pole and get great shots. I also use the same attachment on my bow and my stand. Get the backpack and a 32 gig class 10 card, you can shoot for 4 1/2 hours continuous.

I thought about getting one then I realized no one wants to watch me not catch fish.

I would use one to record my routes visually so I can go back and watch them if ima returning to that area later. Some times. I can't remember did I run left or right of this or that stump. I wouldn't record my fishing not sure what that would do for me.

A ton of guys on the Kayak section use the GoPro and post pics for us to drool over! AND they catch a lot of fish!!



Religion is a guy in church thinking about fishing. Relationship is a guy fishing thinking about God!

Does the GoPro have wide angle? That is one thing I like about the Contour HD and its long slinder body fits on hat strap better. Best thing about hat cam is it gets all the action because its looking where you are looking.
