Go Pro camera?

[xchairity_casex]

Thinking about buying one, was wondering what you like about it, don't like etc?

Just bought one for the Hubs, finally! First test run with it on the sleds won't be until this weekend though.

It take very good video but the lack of LCD screen and annoying buttons (like an old tv, all it is one button scroll through everything and one button to select) is a big inconvenience for me. Probably going to sell mine for a regular camcorder.

As popular as they are, i can't find myself liking it. I dunno...it's great for what it does, but to me it's too much of a "one trick pony." I also know of some one that made a comparison review on Youtube and Go Pro slapped them with a NDS (Non Disclosure Statement) and requested (demanded) the preview to be removed. I just can't get behind a company that's stuck too far up it's own A** with endorsements.

IMHO and my .02 cent

A GoPro is perfect for filming/photographing dog activities...and throwing underneath my quadcopter. If you enjoy DIY setups, this camera is perfect for getting awesome/new angles of your dog. Gaff tape and duct tape can be your best friend. I have dropped my Hero3 Black without it's waterproof/protective case so many times and in so many different ways and the body is holding up great.
