Hero 3 Silver has a special place in my heart. Hero 5 was the first to really WOW me.

Comprate una Go Pro Hero 3+ Silver/Black usada (la diferencia creo estaba en el estabilizador, en la black es mejor). No están caras, los accesorios valen dos mangos, conseguís baterías, la app de celu anda relativamente bien y tiene una calidad más que aceptable. Yo tuve la silver y, si bien la estabilización podría ser mejor, tiene buena imagen de día y de noche. La única contra es que el viento le pegaba de lleno y el micrófono tomaba todo, pero vienen micrófonos externos que también salen 2 monedas y te soluciona esto. Este año vendí la mía y en Drive tengo unos videos que filmé andando en moto, si te sirve te paso el link para que veas.

I have bought the 3+, 5 black, 8 black, and 11 black over the years. They’ve done me well, but I won’t be buying another one. DJI has surpassed them everywhere. I understand there is a lot of brand riders here because I get downvoted anytime I bring up DJI being better. I’m going with the Osmo Pocket line in the future.

You can go cheaper, you can get a Gopro hero 3+ or 4 for like 30 euro used if you keep an eye on online marketplaces. But I think a slightly more modern version with stabilization would work better for cycling. (Starting from the hero 7 black they have HyperSmooth, if you're lucky you might be able to pick up a 7 black for around 100 euro).

Indeed, they released a 3+ which had very little improvements on the 3 just to save the yearly cycle. Really weird...not to see at least a 13+

Yeah I think that’s what it is. Why would I hate a company? I’m just currently not interested in what they’re offering. I had a GoPro Hero 3+, which I had a blast with years ago, now there are better options for cheaper without the risk of overheating and missing my footage.

I don't have much use for an action cam, so generally just use my iphone. However, I do still have and use a Hero3+ semi-permanently mounted on my bicycle serving as a rear dashcam. Works great, batteries last 70+mins which usually covers my riding time. I haven't rigged up an external battery pack yet but that should extend the recording time to cover even my longest rides.
