Which GoPro camera to buy?

I'll have a use for a GoPro camera in order to record my test flights. As of now, at least, this is the only use for which I will use the camera. Need your recommendations on which camera to buy. I don't need the latest and greatest - just a reliable camera with stabilization feature. Maybe I need more, I don't know.

Your recommendations please and thank you all for the input.
 
If that's all your using it for, there are several Gopro "copys" out there that are dirt cheap..I've seen several that did decent video at $30-40. I have the real deal, but an older model and used it for my test flights as well.You can probably find used ones from people upgrading as they come out with new ones every year.
 
I'll second the Garmin Virb, especially if you want to record audio via Bluetooth and without the hassle of extra wires. That's how I did the first flight in the airplane, just narrate instead of having to take any notes.
