Thinking about grabbing a second hand GoPro to film some 4x4ing and holiday vids… looking at somewhere around $300
What model and why?
I'd like to get a suction cup to mount to the door etc, what other ways do you mount your GoPro? Can you post some footage?

After a great HiDef picture and sound, but not overly concerned about slo-mo quality.

battery life on the go-pro's are dismal , might be better off with a dash cam , then it serves 2 purposes, but you wont be able to mount it on the outside  :)

If you haven't heard of them already, RAM Mounts are great for attaching CENSORED to other CENSORED. Phones, GPS, cameras, whatever -- and it's all modular.
ie. You can buy a suction base, and a rollbar mount base, and a phone holder and a gopro holder, and then rotate the holders between the bases.

for the actual action cameras, might be worth looking at the Sony ActionCam too -- they're nice in having a built-in GPS and IMHO a nicer physical design.
Downside -- accessories are limited and more expensive, and of course, everyone has a GoPro. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending.
Upsides -- if you take it out of the waterproof case, then it's still considered "splashproof" AND has a USB port you can use to run the thing, so if it's inside the car you can power it indefinitely.

x2 for the RAM mounts,
