GoPro

Think it. See it. Do it.

GoPro is the world's leading activity image capture company. It has come a long way from its original 35 mm film camera to the newest release, HERO3+, that shoots full HD video. GoPro has made it possible to capture video and pictures while doing almost anything, from diving deep underwater to jumping from space. Felix Baumgartner who did the Red Bull Stratos Jump in 2012 wore a GoPro on his chest. Like their tag line says; think it, see it, do it.

I have used the cameras for ski trips, scuba diving, and free diving. I love the versatility of the cameras made by this company, having one camera to capture all of these exciting activities is fantastic.

Another exciting use for this camera is in the wild. One of the most recent promotional videos for GoPro is this man hugging two lions.

Not only does the housing unit for the camera make it versatile but the many different mounts make this camera great for anything. You can place mounts on the end of snowboards, outside of planes, on the fenders of cars, helmets, handle bars, surfboards, and so many more.

The newest camera, HERO3+ is the smallest and lightest of all the cameras. It's stunning video quality lets you record video in high resolution and high frame-rate. This camera also captures 12 MP still images at 30 frames per second. The HERO3+ black edition comes with a remote that allows you to control up to 50 cameras at a distance of up to 600'/180m. With this camera you can also connect it to your smart phone via Wi-Fi for easy sharing.
GoPro has also created software for easy editing available for download.
I can't wait to see what more exciting and innovative ideas and products this company creates.
