Go Pro Anyone?
Was just wondering how many of you uses Go Pro as their camera during travels and vacations?
I bought a Go Pro Hero3+ black edition last February and believe me, I instantly fell in love with it. Where ever I go (even just around my local area) I bring it to take pictures.
I super love the way how you can use it underwater, in extreme sports and such! I even used it one time to record myself while driving in a freeway with my friends. I really loved it!

I brought my gopro hero 2 with me to madrid last year and took lots of videos using the mount that you can wear over like a baseball hat and the waterproof case. I've seen other tourists place gopros on poles and walk around with them to stabilize the shot. On some of the tours I wore the head strap one and tried not to shake my head too much.

I am guilty of owning about dozen GoPro cameras. Basically I've been buying like 2-3 of each generation, so now it's the 3+, I bought about two. I love using them for everything from snowboarding to watersports to driving. It's one of best tools out there for capture.

It's so tiny there's no excuse to not throw it in my bag.
I've even accidentally packed it before.
During long layovers, I find a nice vantage point in an airport lounge, and shoot time lapse videos of the goings on at the airport.
Some turn out pretty cool. Some turn out really cool.

Hero 3+ for sure. Avoid the White Editions, they're cheap and lack features. The Silver is enough for most folks and is probably the best value of the lot and the Black Edition is for those with enough money or need the very best. Just have a look at the spec sheets.

Visit http://gopro.com/videos/video-of-the-day on GoPro's web site to get an idea of what GoPro output looks like. If you poke around the Internet, you'll find more.

I think it would serve great as a primary family video camera once you get accustomed to not having a viewfinder or screen (unless you get the LCD backpack).
