A camera worth looking at is the Contour Roam or N-Flight Cam.
The N-Flight Cam has a lens filter that reduces Prop blur very well and also an
inline jack plug/socket to record audio as in headsets.
It does cost $500. A 'Lite' version is available without Lens filtering and that
is around $300.
In truth the lens filter is a Neutral Density ND 4.0 filter and that can be 
purchased
for a few dollars from Amazon.
You'll also need a 31mm to 37mm lens converter at about $5 or the Contour Lens
kit at $25.

Prop blur is present in most of the POV Cameras. Neutral density filters can 
reduce
that very effectively with only small change in film appearance.

The top of the range N-Flight has GPS integral so film 'position' recorded. It
also can be blue toothed to iPhone as a Controller and viewer.

Hope that helps.
