Is a camera and house doable for 2k?

+1 for a TG6 with aluminium housing and a dome port for video.

I think you should stick with gopro, upgrade to latest one and buy couple of decent video lights. BTW, OP mentions videograpy in the original post but the thread is posted in photography forum.

I didn't notice the location of the thread, and have moved it accordingly, thanks @Ucarkus for pointing it out

Yes I totally agree. GoPro is a solid wide-angle camera for the size of the sensor it has. Was totally disappointed they did not upgrade that in release 11. I will still be shooting with the GoPro mounted along with my new rig. I want to have zoom, and more color information in low-light shots. Plus I can shoot macro if I choose too. - Marty
