Go Pro Or Similar

Hi Guys,

My GF and I are heading to Indonesia for 3 weeks in Sept. We are looking for a go pro type camera but have no idea what to go for. It will be for general use like snorkeling etc so nothing too fancy as it will likely be used once or twice a year. Budget of around the 150 mark. Any suggestions would be great!

GoPro session is great. Small and already water sealed.

Works great, for the price. The older session is great.

Try the Xiaomi Yi Action Camera - make sure you get the international version. I have one and love it. The first version is about 100 and accessories are cheap as chips

I bought mine from Amazon and used Parcel Wizard to have it delivered to me

Only issue I had with it is that it didn't have a screen on the back - but this was easily sorted by getting a clip on one. I got this one on ebay. Again this is optional as it also has an IOS and Android app where you can connect via wifi to the camera and see what it is seeing and control it from your phone/ipad/tablet

It doesn't come supplied with the waterproof case but again I got a cheap one on ebay that works amazingly well for peanuts.
