Which GoPro is best for me?

Hey Im wondering which GoPro would be best for me? I was looking at the cheapest GoPro (£95) but I want 1080p @ 60fps, but the £280 version (Silver 3+ I think) does 1080p @ 60fps but also shoots 4k @ 15fps, which annoys me because even though I dont want 4k, having a feature that only shoots at 15fps would annoy me and I would regret not getting the GoPro that shoots 4k @ 30fps even though I dont want to shoot in 4k.

 

Can anyone recommend me a GoPro that would suit my needs? also what features come with certain models (hero 3, hero 4, Black, Silver ect..)

 

Thanks

The cheap one is very limited and not massively recommended

 

The Silver 4 Hero also has the built in monitor and touch screen which the Hero 4 Black doesnt-  just ignore the 4k part - although the 4k is still useable for timelapse

 

The black is only worth it if you really want 4k or 2.7k

 

(Also worth looking at sony action cameras which are very good and the new Xiomi)

 

 

the Sony AS30v is only £130 on amazon and shoots 1080p 60

for memory cards, it supports micro sd up to 64gb. i would get a 64gb one just to maximize the amount of videos you can take. i would get a sandisk one :)

A micro sd card that is UHS-I

 

I would get these, if you can't splash money on a 64gb one, I would get the 32gb as it's affordable and on sale. they're both on sale actually haha ^_^
