Very easy to use, lots of fun. Use the highest frame rate if you want to show I slow motion playback.
Think about where the light is, you can get some great results following your shadow, or spraying snow with the sun shining through it.
We're working on a sequence where the camera is passed from person to person in a sort of relay. It will end up being the opening sequence to introduce everyone. It will probably produce the most out takes too!

I would recommend the wrist strap too, we had some great footage. It did condensate a couple to times so keep an eye out for that. Otherwise brilliant camera. Have fun.

Easy to lose, but fun and fantastic photos. Just lost one in Grindewald/Kleine Scheidegg area, Switzerland 22 February. If found, you can keep the camera as a reward, just send me the weeks worth of memory on the sd card please!

Can I see some more your films please, I will be interested on how you approach the editing stage, minus the music of course -)

I think the quality of the go pro is very good but there are some very good
alternatives that you can use without having it strapped to the top of your swede or using the baby harness, I really do like the idea of the camera
being fixed to the side of my goggles. 8)

For those of us who don't use Apples, what editing software do people use, that's free and easy to use?
