Replying to How often do you use your Gopro?

So I just graduated college, and I've been thinking about getting myself a GoPro for a little reward. It's something I've had in the back of my head for a while now, but it's pretty damn expensive. So my question for you is:

If you own a GoPro, how often do you use it? What would you say your experience with filming/editing is, and do you think you got your money's worth?

I am really interested in buying one, and I'll make that money substitute teaching this week, but I don't want to drop $300 on something that I won't end up using too much, or something that a novice filmmaker would not have much fun with. I'm hoping that it will encourage me to get out mtn biking more this summer, along with other activities. So what do you guys think?


Other: What model/package did you purchase? If I do end up getting one, is the outdoor package good or should I look at one with a chest strap? The chest strap footage looks pretty sick for skiing and mtn biking. Too cheap to pay any more than $300 right now haha.

Sorry for all of the questions, just hoping to feel a little more confident before I buy something this expensive. I appreciate any help. +k
Thanks guys.
