The Iris+ is a decent drone but kinda pricey. I soent like 699 on mine and i didn't even come with a gimbal or camera. This nee drone I bought the hoverdrone 360 came with carrying case, gimbal and generic action camera. The camera is similar to the go pro, but like I said its a generic brand. It takes 16mp pics and good video as well. They are on back order at the moment though. But would still be worth taking a look at, hope that helps.
I looked at the hover drone 360. The drones look good but the only problem is that they have been out of stock for a few weeks so buying one isn't possible. I checked out the DJI F450 and it looks pretty reliable. It carries a 2 axis gimbal so that means okayish footage. It is around $300 as well.
If $300 is your ceiling, you will not able to operate a $300 drone, there are other expenditure like radio, prop, extra battery, spare parts for repairs that could double your total cost.
I'm betting that you just want to mess around and do some flying. This is probably the least hassle and the right value.
Spending less will probably end up with a lot of frustration for you. Remember that you're entrusting a flying thing to keep your GoPro from breaking. Not for $300.

Quanum Venture FPV Deluxe Quad Copter Set w/ DJI FatShark & Afro Parts (PNF).
Just add a 5ch Radio and 2200~4000 3s battery.
that kit does not include radio, rx, battery and goggles, With the required components, it will cost more than $300.
Cool but im the more sort of guy who just wants to jam a gopro on a gimbal to take smooth footage. Is the iris+ a good option?
Iris+ is no longer manufactured - you can still buy it, but it sounds like you just want something that's really plug-n-fly.
Spend $500 and get the Phantom 3: http://store.dji.com/product/phantom-3-standard?site=brandsite&...

If $300 is your limit, then get this:

Or this and buy a ton of batteries with what's left.
