I found a knockoff GoPro at the store the other day, for sixty dollars. It said it filmed in HD, was waterproof, and came with a small tripod. I'm not sure if I should risk the knockoff, (because, if it breaks, I wouldn't have wasted as much money,) or just buy the GoPro. I'm very clumsy- are they durable?

I had a knock-off from my dad, it worked ok once or twice with buttons that didn't work that well at all. It was missing a fast class-10 micro SD card (SanDisk, link below, 16GB will record 1 hour and 8GB will record 30 minutes - high speed at 95MB/s - required for HD recording) though, if you don't have it you get glitches in the HD recordings. Don't worry about being clumsy, they are highly durable and designed for the extreme - YEAH!!! :)

The Hero3 white edition is going for $300 atm:

You can still get Hero2 ($200 on eBay) and even Hero1 (for $100 or less on eBay)

All versions shoot full HD with some differences like more fast still shots and wi-fi capabilities (more Hero3 territory)
