The video isn't anything crazy, but was impressed with the video quality.....specifically when the sun gets right behind the boat and the light change at the end when getting into the harbor

I especially enjoyed the bug crawling across the lens! I have an older GoPro and have posted a few boat videos to youtube. The only regret I have is that I had on the waterproof case and sound level is poor. I had to almost scream and even then most times I can not be heard over the engine and wind noise.

I have also taken a couple of videos of me skiing and ice skating. Not only is it fun, but it provides valuable information on how my technique is.

A lot of my friends bought them, used them for a few months, and now they sit in a drawer.

I was pretty happy with the sound quality on the GoPro 4. The biggest benefit I have found so far is the amount of video resolution options. I have experimented with 4k but I don't have anything capable of playing it yet.

I have gotten some neat video of my 8month old by mounting the GoPro to her crib and toys.

The shot this video in 1080p at 60fps....the haze is from the wildfires in Canada

They take very good still photos too. The wide angle lense is impressive

Cool, makes you want to go out and buy a GoPro.

I keep trying to think of places to mount it. Winnebago is pretty dirty so the net mount might not show much.

Thinking about strapping it to an anchor on a clear stream fed lake to see what it would look like
