Have you heard of GoPro before? These are the portable, high-tech, sturdy mountable cameras that can go anywhere and everywhere with you. It’s perfect for active people like us.
GoPro basically enables people to capture and share life experiences in a way that was never before possible. Before GoPro, it was very difficult for anyone to capture content of themselves doing anything unless someone was there to film them. Now, people can easily wear or mount miniature ultra wide-angle GoPro cameras to record themselves running, biking, or jumping off airplanes even!
Did you know that an average of three GoPro “tagged” videos are uploaded to YouTube every minute, and GoPro is used by the world’s leading production companies to help produce some of today’s most engaging film and television content?
I first encountered GoPro during a shoot a few years back. The cameramen attached the GoPro to a rope and tied it around my waist, then they asked me to run three loops around the hills of Antipolo. Needless to say, I made sure my footstrike was perfect. Second time was in another shoot. The director mounted it on my Shiv and asked me to bike around Ayala Alabang. I had just learned to ride on my new Shiv then so I tried my best to look as calm as possible…after all, every single expression on my face was being videotaped! The third time was the best, Dan’s Bike Shop handed me a brand spankin’ new GoPro Hero3 Black Edition a couple of months ago. Yes!
Recently, GoPro announced their new HERO3+ line of cameras. These new cameras feature a 20% smaller and lighter design and 30% better battery life than previous models.
