Comparing the GoPro with the NuPro
We decided to compare the NuPro with the GoPro because the GoPro is the most popular action camera at this time and the NuPro is the new kid on the block. GoPro makes a few different models. The GoPro Hero 3+ is the one nearest in price and quality to the NewPro. By nearest, it is not really close. The NuPro makes a much better picture and sells for a lot less.
There is only one thing that really impressed us with the GoPro Hero 3+ Silver. It's got a very impressive name compared to our NuPro.
