    Best buy has them, but you won't be able to play with them.
    If you buy one, you have 15 days to return it.
    Try a bike store or some type of outdoors kinda shop too.
    What are you concerns about getting one?

    Yeah, almost any good bike store should have them, any outdoorsy space.

    Target, Best Buy, Cabellas, are the best places with camera and accessories.

    shorty the one with the remote, don't worry about any of the rest, the 3 and 3 black to me are the ones,

    with those you can see the screen on your smart phone, and control it with your smart phone as well as have a remote, and wifi if not mistaken.

    Didn't know about one with remote? I use my iPhone and you have to use Wifi on phone and camera to do that. It zaps the shit outta the battery life as well. I've learned to just leave it on for long recordings and edit out what I don't want versus using phone to stop, start, stop, start and the whole while phone and camera batteries are depleting fast! It is awesome in Mexico go use phone to start/stop though. I believe they're models are all Gopro Hero3 but you have a Black, Silver , and White edition with best being Black, then Silver , with White being entry level. Could be wrong on the white but I know the black and silver well ;):burnout:

    White (entry)
    video 1080p 30fps
    pic 5mp
    wifi built in

    Silver (middle)
    video 1080p 60fps
    pic 10mp
    wifi built in

    Black (best)
    video up to 4k (new tvs will play 4k) looks awesome
    pic 12mp
    wifi built in
    includes remote


    higher video the better
    fps- higher good for slo-mo shots
    pic higher mp the better if you want stills
    wifi connects to iphone (use to monitor, control, or frame shots)
    remote - strap on your wrist and control. Saves your phones battery.

    Think that sums it up.

    get the remote. I use it all the time when I go flying.
    Just don't forget to start recording after you shut it off. You should be able to buy just the remote.
