More Sports And Uses For Go Pro

Posted: Apr 13, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Go Pro cameras are unique in that they allow you to get up-close footage of some of your most exciting sports and activities without having to worry about getting someone to hold and aim a camera (which is not only highly boring for the person designated as camera man, but also results in a worse view of the action held shakily at the best of times and from a fair distance from the sport itself so as not to get in the way). As such those who own either a Go Pro HD Naked or Go Pro HD Motorsport are in an enviable position and have a great advantage when it comes to filming their exploits that they won't want to squander.

That of course means that those doing rally driving can get a great view of the dirt track from up close, and the Go Pro HD Motorsport is (as the name suggests) purpose built for motor sports. However those aren't the only sports and activities that can benefit from a bit of up close footage and there are many other activities that can make great use of these cameras. If you have such a small camera attached to your person then this means you can capture literally any activity, and thanks to the durability of both devices these activities can be a rough or as wet as you like.

So what more unusual activities can call for a Go Pro HD Naked or similar camera? For one there are the kinds of extreme sports that don't require a vehicle or lots of equipment. For example skateboarding or rollerblading can be a great opportunity to get footage of yourself doing tricks on a half pipe. Meanwhile even without a board it can be great for parkour (free running) or rock climbing which have some stunning moments.

As the Go Pro HD Naked can attach to any helmet this also means you can use it to film yourself during contact martial arts (which often require you to wear a helmet). As blows will be coming to the side of the protection the camera will be fine on top and meanwhile your eye-view of a great fight will look like something from a Bruce Lee movie. This is something that few people think of doing but makes particularly exciting footage.

Waterproof to an extent, the HD Naked can also be a great companion for a range of more placid water sports such as dingying or fishing. Here if you're with friends you can also capture some of the atmosphere. White water rafting makes another great opportunity to capture some exciting film so if you're going on holiday you should always be sure to take your Go Pro. Even just hiking around a new and exciting location can be a good time to record some video. You might capture a funny interaction in a flee market with a local or a stunning view from the top of a mountain trek.

Even if you don't do a sport yourself as such, owning a Go Pro can be a good excuse to get creative. Why not make a video of yourself doing skills with a ball or playing pranks (the Go Pro HD Naked is wonderfully small and easy to conceal) and then upload them to YouTube?
