Summer of Collaborative video users of GoPro

[momoffduty]

A community on FB put together footage from its users from around the world. A summer's worth of GoPro video. It is long for an internet video, 15 minutes. Worth the watch of every minute.

Some video ideas for maybe your future projects:

Pretty cool video, Cheryl. Thanks for sharing. I'm tempted to get a GoPro, but my life is not that adventurous. What would I be filming?

[sidd finch]

What would I be filming?

hummmmmmmm.... A dance recital.. The camera in the back of the room that has the wide angle lens to capture the entire stage...

At 120fps think slow motion Gerlinde!

[Gerlinde]

Very funny, Sidd....

Maybe, I could strap a helmet cam to one of the dancers

Cheryl, now you are just trying to tempt me..... I'm thinking Humming birds

First I need a usable tripod.

To tempt you even further, Gerlinde, Best Buy has a great price on this Hero3 Black Edition... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gopro-hd-hero3-black-edition-action-camera-black/6571689.p?id=1218757813679&skuId=6571689
the doorbuster price (starts at 6pm on Thanksgiving) is 249.99 (though the link I've included indicates the current price of 329.99

i'm thinking you could get a nice start on a usable tripod with the savings!!

[Gerlinde]

Bad Sherrin, bad, bad!

I will have about 24 people over for Thanksgiving, I don't think I will get there on time....

That door buster is the Black Edition 3 and NOT the 3+. The 3+ price is about $399.

The 3+ also seems to have some focal issues related to the lens.

From the GoPro forum:

When you compare the 2 cameras, despite the lens being obviously better on the 3+, and it is, the 3+ is razor sharp from 6 inches to about 4ft, and after 4ft the older 3 seems sharper.

It seems that this focus is because most folks record them self. I on the other hand am more interested in filming my surroundings than capturing my own image in my surroundings.

imagine....the table is set everyone is ready to enjoy the meal then oooops..... Gerlinde says "one minute folks while I turn on my new GoPro I bought this morning at 1:00 am." Everyone cheers.....this is the best Thanksgiving ever......

Gerlinde, instead of using a pole extension at dinner, get an egg timer that Sidd posted and shoot a Thanksgiving meal timelapse.

[Gerlinde]

OK you guys convinced me. Now I have to only find my sleeping bag so I can camp outside Best Buy to get one.

[sidd finch]

WoooHoooo

And since we are so good with suggestions, you must post up some video for us! Get chinese takeout that day and maybe no one will notice.
