Evening chaps. After some advice if possible please...

I'm interested in buying an action cam, predominantly for filming cricket stuff similar to these guys http://bit.ly/1YXDJDX . I imagine when summer comes round it'll be recording stuff in the nets and then maybe a game or two.

Looking around at the options available and the two that stick out are the various GoPro's and the TomTom Bandit, which the premium pack can be had for just over £220 after a cashback deal. The reviews seem fairly positive and it seems like with the adapter it'll fit any GoPro mount, in particular the chest mount. Also getting a reported 3 hours of battery is good, which is super ideal considering an innings of 35 overs is often around that long.

And then obviously there's the GoPro's, where I'm a little stumped on what I should be considering. In direct comparison to the Bandit it seems like it'd be the Hero 4 Black/Silver but at the cheaper pricepoints I'm wondering if the Hero+ or Session would match up to the job, but the main issue of batteries being non-removable and only getting around 2 hours before having to do a recharge has me umming and ahhhhing.

Any thoughts/advice/stuff would be much appreciated! It's honestly not an area I'm too well versed with.
 
Bump. Think I'm gonna plump for the Hero 4 Silver, before I go diving in and spending £250 odd is there any point in holding off with CES around the corner?
 
Rainforest site had a Hero 4 Silver Adventure edition with 32gb SD card for £227.50 delivered, so I've bitten on that and bought a bunch of accessories and battery packs to with it. Can't wait to get started...
