I read somewhere that GoPros and other action cameras are one of the least used purchases, so I figured "that should mean there's plenty on eBay". So grabbed up second hand bargain, played around with it for a couple of weeks, bought some extra batteries and other accessories, and since then it's sat in the cupboard except for a single occasion.
Turns out you don't need an action cam if you're not getting any action.
Oh damn I totally forgot about that one. My dad bought a go pro and I could've used it to film my scuba diving event but we couldn't figure out where to mount it.
Dick mount.
The good thing is GoPros are still good years later. Most of the action my GoPro 4 has seen was in the last 2-3 years after sitting for a really long time.
I had one that must've fallen out of my pocket when I got out of the car, because a few days later I found it half embedded in the dirt driveway after getting ran over. It was scuffed and scratched, but still worked! I don't think the battery holds a charge anymore, but it is like 10 years old now
I won one at an office Christmas party, took a time lapse of my chia pet, put it in a drawer for a year and felt guilty, then sold it to a ski instructor. It’s kind of like taking a video of fireworks or a concert. Unless you’re doing some wild extreme sports, who’s editing and rewatching that kind of video?
Do people actually use those to—erm—document the proceedings?
I've seen it done!
I have the same thing with a drone
I use my GoPro a ton and thought I could add a drone into my videos but I haven't really been able to try it yet. I did get my drone license though and might have some paid work coming up which is nice.
It’s cool and all, but I guess it’s not for me. The novelty wore off quick
