No mounts or housing, not a great deal. $199 + tax = $215

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.

Hero2: $242.95

WiFi BacPac: $29.99

http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-3661-037...ds=wifi+bacpac

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...
