Second hand go-pro's

miller82 · 2014-08-14 08:33:35

Hey, Just wondering if people see many second hand go-pros for sale ? and if so what sort of price have you seen them at ? want to pick one up, but only really have a budget of around 80-120 :(. probably have no chance of getting one :mad: also, does anyone have any experience with any of the generic/copy/cheaper brands ?

Adverts.ie is full of 2nd hand ones, there will be loads more soon as the Hero 4 is rumoured to be coming out in Oct. 80-120 is a bit low for anything other then one of the knock off though im afraid.

cheers for the replies folks.
I have nailed down three options so far.

1. Qumox SJ4000

Review
http://shortbarrelshepherd.com/sj4000-gopro-clone-action-camera-review/

can be used on all gopro attachments and has a screen.
Cost 65 plus I can get head, wrist, and stick attachments for 45 quid on adverts.ie so €110 all in

2. Easypix -Go Extreme Wifi Control FHD model with remote control

This one comes with remote control, and also compatible with gopro parts

Made for Easypix - Go Extreme Wifi Control FHD model with remote control
Can get an app for it too
Cost 90/100 (reckon I can get him down) plus I can get head, wrist, and stick attachments on adverts.ie for 45 quid so €135/145 all in

3. Might be able to get GoPro hero3 white edition picked up in the States in the next few days.
150 quid euro, all attachments 45 quid – no remote, but an app. So about €200 quid

Was really looking to keep cost down but i reckon everyone will recommend the GoPro ???
