Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've been looking at getting a go pro to use at work when doing big tree removals and crane jobs. Looking to mount on helmet, chain bar and other places. Can anyone that used them recommend what I should get and if the extra features that the new session has over the old one are worth twice the cost? Is the 5+ or whatever the better option with the replaceable battery and visible screen? When the session battery dies and won't hold charge anymore can I simply take it to batteries plus to get the battery replaced or do I need an entire new unit? Are older models that aren't currently manufactured worth looking at? I do want something rugged, I don't foresee needing waterproofing other than rain.

smokin5s Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've had one for 2-3 years now... never had a battery problem. With that being said, there are cheaper options that work just as well... are you set on a Go Pro or would you be interested in cheaper options that take just as good of video? If so, check out the mobius... it comes with tons of accessories to connect to just about anything and is like half the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 The amount of knock offs on Amazon are staggering.. a few with really great reviews. The batteries are replaceable and I use Wasabi batteries and dual charger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I recommend buying 3 batteries and the dual charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
