I'm thinking of getting a Go-Pro and recording some of the rides I take. Can anyone make a recommendation between the different versions of the Go-Pro for capturing riding video? Is it necessary to spend the extra $$ on the Hero 4, or will the less expensive versions get the job done?

Going to Daytona for Bikeweek? Gopro has a display at the speedway, and will explain in great detail if you really want to know which one will fit you needs. Also they give away a complete kit of Camera and accessories every day and all you have to do is be present around 4PM. Also if you register and don't win, they give you a $100 off coupon that is good for 30 days toward a GoPro of your choice.  I learned a lot more than I will ever need to know from them, but main thing was I can look at the photo before I take it with my Cell phone, that was news to me. So good stuff to be gained from talking to them.

  You know what, I have a go pro and I don't like it at all.  The fish eye lens produces a weird effect on the image. The battery lasts for about 20 min max.  The remote control totally sucks. Have to pare it every time it times out which takes a few minutes. The image pixalates if you film in tight surroundings like a trail through the woods. Would never get one again.  Sony makes a great, small camera that functions like a go pro but has zoom, and a much better lens and processor.  Check out the Sony Action Cam first. Cheers.
