GoPro Hero
Anyone heard of this:
Cheaper version of the gopro, but still shoots 1080p/30fps. Not a bad deal imo.
I'm sure others will chime in with their favorite off-brand action camera. So any reviews or suggestions are appreciated.
This is for my dad who will use it 3 times a year kayaking and rafting. So battery life and ease of use are the 2 main priorities.

Actually the contour(the roam 2) is only "waterproof" down to 3ft? the gopro beats that by quite a bit, so if that's what you need, its probably the way to go. you can get waterproof cases for either, but obviously adds to the cost.

Gitup Git2 is what I bought. It has it's issues, but it works with all of the gopro accessories (cases are the same and I had an old hero silver that died). It does 1080/60fps and has image stabilization. I do wish the battery lasted longer but at 60fps it is expected. I think I paid under $120. I'm impressed for $120.

I spent the extra for that and got a boat load of accessories. The watch is worth it alone.
