Should I buy a Go-Pro?

R o c k e t · April 02, 2015, 04:27:16 PM

It's $400, and I'd have to use half of my savings to get it. Extra if I want to buy a mount for my guitar or something.

But it seems pretty dang useful for making cool videos. I dunno.
Thoughts?

Buy two so you can go-pro your go-pro while it go-pros

They're cool but like if you don't parkour/sky dive and upload those vids to YouTube, then it seems like a waste.

Naru · April 02, 2015, 04:47:36 PM

Only do it if you're gonna make a POV porn video.

Well if I had several, I could make a pretty good music video without having to hire anyone.

YouTube

Video made only with Go Pros ^

I think it would be cool for live performances too, once I get a band we could get some cool live footage.

I might hold off until I get my band together and perhaps we can all get several of them at once.
Better than simply passing a single one around for each instrument
