The operating system may be a little to complex for a 10 year old to use. But assuming he is a patient and willing to learn it, I'd say it'd be good. If u are looking to strap it on him while he is playing, you'll need probably need a additional head/helmet strap mount. But besides that, all you need is a good sized microSD memory card, and make sure it is class 4 or higher.

While entirely waterproof for diving, this is the old version of HD Hero and I believe you have to buy a special flat lens for underwater. Likewise with the Hero2. However, with the newer Hero 3 and 4 models, they come with the flat lens. The best thing to be sure is to call GoPro and ask them.

The camera I had bought broke on me , if you want the best camera for a dashcam I would go with the go pro , I have been using it for about 2 to 3 years and wow you get some great footage you see things that you missed while driving , like nails you almost ran over , or cops sitting in plain site and did not see sitting there waiting for you to wizz by so they can give you a ticket, again Go pro is your best bet , qaulity photos and footage and great dependability when it counts lets say you were in a wreck and it was not your fault you have proof in great video footage.

It works with go pro hero 3, but what do you mean with "go pro hero 3 +"! Is it different?

Go on GoPros website for exact size of it, it is a lot slimmer then the regular hero 3, I like it more then hero 3 case

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.

I just returned from a 17 day ride around the west with my Hero 2 and I'd go with the Hero 3. The Hero 2 did great photos but you have to reach up on top of your helmet or if mounted on your bars, reach up and press the button on top. The Hero 3 comes with the remote control built in, and you can have that on the tank bag, etc. and it solves the problem. I took over 200 "video clips" and there were times I was never sure if the camera was running or not. The Hero 2 is cheaper but if you add the remote to it, you're getting close to the cost of a Hero 3 anyway. Go with the newer technology, buy the Hero 3. IMHO. ;-) I just returned from a 17 day ride around the west with my Hero 2 and I'd go with the Hero 3.

Bill, I bought the Drift over the GoPro and I'm happy with the decision. I ended up spending more after purchasing the accessories seperately. Depending upon your use (and what you already have in your inventory) Get the bundle. biggest addon was the extra batteries. Sure the stand helped. I bought extra mounting kits bothe exclusive to the Drift and your standard mounts. G'luck with your decision.

I am not familiar with Go Pro. What I did was contact Joby via email on their site and asked them about my camera and if the hybrid version would be suitable. They were very helpful and would know for sure how to answer your specific question. Originally, I had bought a less hefty version from a WalMart based on the employee suggestion. But she knew nothing and I ended up returning it. Joby was the best bet to get the exact answer.

I bought this for my son. He has a 10 and 4 year old that are involved in sports and surfing. He loves this camera. I have an older model G11 and it is working great after all these years. Best investment in cameras �

Hi JAF, This case is an excellent product in my opinion. I have one GoPro Hero 3 and several accessories and it has made carrying them easier and much more accesible. I am a filmmaker and really appreciate products that help me organize my gear and keep it protected, and the POV case does that well for me. If you have few accessories and do not plan on purchasing more, I would say look at the small version of this case. However, if you plan to buy more accessories (like me) then go for this case! I hope this answers your questions!

I have not returned for service but I want to give a little time to figure it out. till now it seem to behave better after tried several sequence start. First I fully charged the Gopro. Second I turned Gopro before connect battery to the Phantom. Third I connect the battery to Phantom then start recording on Gopro but becareful no to put too much stress on the Gimbal since it already powered up. With this sequence it been working out so far without the unit turn off itself during flight. i am not sure why. The amazing video from the Gopro3 was making so happy and great experience when view from up high above!

I don't think so.... You should see on craigslist and buy the Hero3 (black preferrably), or just go all the way to Hero4 Black. You wont regret for professional results and capabilities. If you are just playing around.... basic Hero3 is fine.

I actually haven't had any problems with my Go Pro, nor has my brother. We have used ours in 2 Tough Mudder obstacle course races. Works like a dream.

I have 3 GoPro's and haven't used them on them, yet. But have many other cameras ranging from consumer point and shoots, DSLR's, video. Any one of them with an HDMI output works well. If you do get this be aware the first time you use it the brightness is very very low and you will say to yourself, "what the ..."! Just adjust it using the built in menu system.

BTW if you use mount accessories, make sure its warm when first mount and wait 24 for a good bound, i use mine skydiving, and also dirt biking, i feel dirt biking and the fall ripped the camera off the side of my helmet, btw it not as bulky as go pro
