Only watched the first part, bookmarked for later. I think it was last week the stock was released for invite only?

Do you read the Pickles comic strip? Grandma won a GoPro and was filming herself knitting. I've been getting a lot jokes towards me about being a granny with a GoPro. :)

I got about half way through. I'll watch the rest some night when I can't sleep.

It looks like creating the GoPro was as easy as falling off a surf board, but I think the real story of its success has a lot to do with the quality of the footage and I never hear anyone talking about how a (some) young guy(s) found cameras capable of taking such high quality footage in such a small package in the first place.
