I’m just jealous of this video because it pretty much contains 20 different activities that look like a blast to do in one summer vacation! All are recorded with the GoPro HD HERO, throwing in a few time-lapses, point-of-view shots, and even the occasional bikini!

We just love this video because it shows the versatility of the types of cameras we sell, in this case, the GoPro HD HERO. Ian Boyd shows the viewer all types of crazy angles you can achieve with a GoPro, throwing in a few time-lapses, and a great view of the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco for good measure!
I preach this all the time on this blog, shoot from a ton of different angles, and even if you are shooting an ice fishing excursion, it can turn out to be excellent video! Not bagging on ice fishing of course….. (My Minnesota friends would pummel me right about now).
Some of Ian’s crazier shots include him hand-holding the camera while windsurfing (he apparently had it safely attached to his arm with an old strap from a surfboard leash, avoiding the dreaded drop in the water to lose it forever), and a long pole off of his mast.
It looked to me as if Ian had one GoPro. Imagine all of the cool shots you could get in one afternoon with 7 GoPro’s! The more, the merrier, I always say!

This cool video caught our eye this week due to not only the great content (some of us camarush guys have been “attempting” tricks for the past many years), but also the unique video shots. Anthony Gardner of AGinc Video Production made this very cool montage with a few friends while they hit some rails at a local park. Anthony mounted a GoPro camera to a monopod or broom handle (check out our blurb about the Pocket X-Shot below) and decided to leave the filming in the hands of the rider.
The real fun begins when they start passing the handle to each other, either by calculated handoffs, or by touchdown style passes, towards the end of the video. Good stuff guys! Keep it coming!
By the way, for those that don’t know, we offer the perfect monopod style accessory, the Pocket X-Shot. The Pocket X-Shot is great, because it stows away nice and short, giving you the ability to keep it in your pocket for a great shot of yourself, or even to balance the camera real well. Check it out in our store!
Sometimes, the most simple mount is the best for a video. In this case, holding a GoPro right in the palm of your hand makes for some crazy nice views of snowboarder Tim Humphreys doing some sick jumps!
That is something that most people don’t realize about these cameras is that they have such a wide angle, that even holding your arm out makes for sufficient viewing of your whole body in frame. The smooth 720p certainly adds to the look of this video too!
