Go pro cameras

[metal head]

Looking for some reviews! I'm thinking of buying a go pro camera to use while hunting and I was wondering how well they worked! Thanks

What do you plan on using it to film? They are not meant for taking video at any kind of distance. A 30 yard bowshot is very hard to see when viewed later, looks like the target is much farther away because the camera has such a wide angle lense and no zoom feature. If you plan on filming yourself on shot or mounting it to a decoy for close up views of game they work well. If you want a primary video camera to film animals and shots then I would recommend a hand held video camera with a tree arm or tripod rather than an action cam. Also gun or bow mounting an action can makes for very shaky hard to watch video.
