several years ago, I bought a Gopro. These cameras produce imgaes of an amazing quality. Yet I have mostly ignored it. Probably because I think, it means carrying another tool (the camera). But in reality it is compact, easily fits in the pocket and not heavy.
I don’t know what made me get it out, b ut having done so, and having had a bit of a play with it I am slightly more than annoyed with myself for having neglected this amazing tool.
But what then happens to my phone? The main thing is that it is still a very important tool, but there will be circumstances where it will take second place. On the otherhand, there is an immediacy of the availability of material recorded on the phone, whereas there is a very mildly annoying separate process whereby I have to access the camera through an app on my phone, and transfer media off. The good things with this are; that if the camera is turned off, accessing the app automaticually turns it on, transfers the media and turns the camera off – pretty seamless. The media is stored in my online account and is immediately accessible from my desk top and can be transferred out, so that’s good. Fairly straighforward really, and mostly pretty seemless.
I need to reconfigure my working arrangements slightly to fully incorporate the gopro, but I have most of what I need. All I need to do is get out and record some video.
