Big fan of the GoPro way more than just a camera for using for extreme stuff. A very capable point and shoot.
LCD Bacpac works well but will reduce battery run time but extra batteries are cheap.

Battery bacpac is awesome. I’ve been hammering it lately to take some time lapse shots of scenery and it has doubled the normal run time.

Mounts are being released all of the time by GoPro and others. Gopro have recently released a system so you can attach the camera to a dog!

I have tested most other makes other than the new Garmin and will be sticking with the GoPro setup. The new 4 was supposed to be coming out but rumours say it has been delayed. Many shops have been running stocks low on most models in prep but may have been caught out. If going for GP get the best you can afford at the time.
