Action Camera

[winos5]

So I'm looking to purchase an action camera/video set up. Is the GoPro that much better than some of the cheaper devices I see on internet? Looking to record softball games and practices to develop video for my daughters prospect page. Definitely need the wide angle lense, HD recording quality and needs to be durable (will be set up on backstop behind home plate). Any opinions/recommendations? Cost is an issue., but I can pry the money out of my wallet for a GoPro if i have too. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure if the others are as good as a go pro, what I do know is that I see Go pros (sometimes a little older models) in pawn shops all the time for not much cash.
