If you want a entry level camera, go with the 3+ Black edition. You can also go for the 4 Silver for not much more money. I feel if you go for an older model than the 3+ Black, you will upgrade soon after anyway, so if you can, spring for the 4 Silver or 4 Black, and you won't have to worry about having the latest model, since those are the last GoPro models that will work with the current gimbal.
