    Hi All,

    Tomtop are selling the basic GOPRO Hero for €58.03 until the 05/11/2017.

    This is the most bassic GoPro you can get but it was always selling at around €125-€130 so looks like a decent deal.

    It does say in the description that the packaging and accessories are not genuine.

    I took a punt, never had a genuine GoPro, always used SJCAM's and looking forward to trying it.

    Worst case scenario will be turned into a dashcam.

    Solid deal for anyone wanting a GoPro specfically, but there are some third party action cameras that would easily beat the original Hero for around the same price.

    But it's Tomtop.com so this means it might not even be an actual GoPro.

    Horrible company to deal with. Will never purchase from them again.

    Why? I've ordered multiple times from them and never had a problem? What did you get stung with?

    The on going BS in the this forum, where they advertised a "1080p" dash cam and it actually had the resolution of a 1980's camcorder and seperatly ordered a 10,000mAh portable phone charger that would only charge my 3000 mAh phone one and a half times.

    Blatant false advertising both time, never again.

    Good camera for its time. But it not coming in retail packaging or having accessories is concerning.

    I think I'd rather a Xiaomi Yi action camera for that price. Currently 59.99stg on amazon:

    Have had this camera for months now, and use it daily without issue. 2k footage, wifi and bluetooth and great image quality. The only thing is that it does not come with a water proof case in the box, your best bet would be to buy one on ebay for a few quid.
