That's just too cool, Cotty. Did you stick that thing onto a pole of some sort to get those wheelbarrow following shots, like when the PoV zooms way overhead? I'm going to try and convince my wife we need one of these. She's into making short films and docs and we just spent most of the weekend at the Mississauga Indie Film Fest, so her imagination will be racing and this would be the perfect time! :-) On Sun, Jul 22, 2012 at 2:47 PM, Steve Cottrell co...@seeingeye.tv wrote: A few shots from my new GoPro.

On 23/7/12, kwal...@peoplepc.com, discombobulated, unleashed: They're pretty neat little cameras ! I've had mine for awhile but have only used it for an hour long sled dog race. Did you get any bells whistles for it? At the moment, just a wifi-bacpac with the remote. The iPhone app isn't out til late August apparently, so remote viewing on the phone isn't an option...just yet. Next accessory will be the proper dive housing, as the waterproof housings are only really meant for splash and surf - underwater images are affected by poor focus due to the existing housing's lens. I need this as good pics underwater are crucial for me. I already have a good selection of mounts and grips, mostly manfrotto.
