Is this GoPro brand or from a 3rd party? I don't want to risk a $400 camera on an off brand.

I left mine on the roof of the car and broke the housing, the replacement one is genuine and I have had it as deep as 35 meters with no problems.

I have this and a couple of other people in my diving club have the GoPro. We've all used them both and generally agree that there's not a lot of difference, except for the fact that not all GoPros have a screen on the back. Since the Intova is a bit cheaper than the comparable GoPros, it's a pretty good option.

You don't, because the camera will break before you are done using it for the first time. Just get a gopro or nothing at all... Seriously, I just bought a used gopro and it is 10x better than this knockoff

GoPro is good for quality but ghost isn't far behind and mounts A LOT better and more streamlined on the helmet. I use my ghost for motovlogging and it's the go-to for most motovloggers because it's good quality and streamlined. My vote is definitely for the ghost. The sony one sucks. Get a ghost.

as for me, the 3rd party seem to be as good as pentax original one. i personally bought "MaximalPower" for fuji NP-50, 3.7V 1100mAh, 4.1Wh. i bought 2, both are fine, meaning now i have 3 battaries, and while using i can not tell if there's a difference, all functions well, similar number of shots for all.

Thank you very much for the reply. I took the one back that I purchased at wal mart and ordered the same camera from buydig.com. Saved almost 100.00 bucks. I really haven't had a good chance to try it out yet but will. Your post really helped me feel better about the camera.

I bot this because gopro makes customers buy gopro items or else if you buy a 3rd party adapter it wouldn't work. I'm not sure, I don't want to say yes that it will work but you can always order it and return it if it dosent work.

http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=E1FJFPS4500 I got mine from here, and you can get 10 dollars off if you share their link (it shows up on their site on the right side) with 3 people. They will send the code to your email. The memory card that came with mine is this one. I was thinking it would be an off brand cheap thing, but it wasn't. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-4GB-ExtremeIII-SDHC-Card/dp/B000OFWJO6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1349582003&sr=1-1&keywords=sandisk+extreme++4gb My camera came with a strap to hang on your neck, lens cap, usb/av cable,cd with instructions,(you can also find that on the internet, to read through till it arrives) and batteries.. they have other bundles with a 16 gb card, and a tripod too. scroll down on this page. http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=fjfps4500 Don't listen to the bad reviews. I think they didn't read the instructions, or just don't know what they are doing. This is a great camera. Nothing feels cheap about it. and you feel good using it. There are a lot of settings, and so many things to do. I hope I helped

You need to check with the manufacturer. Specifically recommended for the GoPro Hero 3 is works fab!

I haven't tried the GoPro brand, only this one, so I can't tell you if its softer.I have had the camera in and out of it several times without it breaking, nor was I worried that it would because it feels very pliable.

I believe all GoPro cameras have international warranty but it will depend on the authorized seller in your country some of them they don't have any work shop so they will send it to the state to fix it, Hope i answer your question. Regards

You may want to think About an additional battery. Buy these cheap , not from Gopro

Generally GoPro is pretty good about not being sticklers about small items on warranty. That being said however, it's none if their business what you do with their product. You bought it for a premium price while paying a premium price for every accessory they manufactur. If you use an off brand charger, just don't bring it up when you call them for a repair request. Sorry, I know this did answer your question directly but I hope it helps.

I would ask GoPro but I would look at another brand like Lexar or PNY and the reason I say that is because I purchased a SanDisk like the one you are looking at and it turned out to be a knock off and the card failed during a dive in Turks and Caicos. Another diver on that trip told me he had also purchased a SanDisk fake in the past. If you do by a SanDisk test it first.

I have used my camera for a bit of indoor shooting (filming industrial equipment for mechanical disgnosis), and the camera seems to work fine with normal indoor lighting. Based on my experience with the GoPro, the image quality is as good or better.

I have a GoPro Hero 3+ and it works fine. Dove 16 times, replaced the inserts only after each two dives and had zero troubles.
