The GoPro Camera is a power hungry beast, the supplied battery is good for a couple of hours but it makes sense to either use an battery extender or plug the camera into a power source if one is available.

As long as you buy from a reputable seller with good feedback then the GoPro camera is a good choice, it is robust and reliable and so can be bought with confidence from sites such as eBay.
