Using my 808 #16, (costing $35), i can't see why i'd ever think about using a go-pro or comparable camera? Extra bulk, huge extra comparative cost without a corresponding increase in quality! (IMHO).
I understand that the #16 is being modified/updated to allow an AV out as well as the existing recording capability. That to me would almost be the perfect FPV camera - able to record the flight AND provide FPV vision.
If that doesn't become available anytime soon, then i'd opt for the FPV camera that Bruce is advocating (CCD 600TVL) with the #16 providing on-board flight recording.
If i've missed something important as to functionality in a go-pro (or similar) that people would say "you can't live without that" ... i'm all ears!
