Action Videos, Here I Come!
I have been lately contemplating buying a cheap, far eastern imitation of a GoPro to kick start some video production for my websites and YouTube channels. I have never told anyone this, outside of WA that is, and I have cetainly not dropped any hints.
Today my stepson came to our house to collect some of his clothes and possessions that were still in the spare bedroom he was staying in last year. On sorting through a draw, he suddenly said, "Here, Steve, do you want a GoPro? It's worht about £500."
I did my best to contain a big smile, replying, "Yes, sure, I could use one of those. Thanks!"
I think he has only used it for a charity London to Gibraltar cycle ride he did with his cycling club two years ago. All of the cables are missing, there is no microSD card and there is no software, but hey, beggars can't be choosers, eh? I have a few microSD cards left over from when I used to have an Android smartphone, A trip to the high street will remedy the cable situation and I am sure a search online will find software, a cellphone app and some video tutorials.
So now I have no excuse. Video production, here I come!
Best wishes,
Bruno, Charlie and Steve.

Oh wow that is a great camera to use for action video's but probably for most content. The only but in the story is that it is most likely a fish-eye camera, so in the left and right corner it might become a little round.
Depending on what you are going to do and what your niche is, some great stuff can do with it nonetheless. Just thinking: if you are a fishing prof or amateur and write about fishing niche.. and you make gopro video's of you fishing with x equipment!
Would be so cool to add to your reviews or guides etc!
alas fishing was just an example.

Yes, I was thinking of filming, say, something like walking the dogs, and editing that action into a longer, studio video about how often to walk a dog, that sort of thing.
Thanks for your insight, much appreciated.

In 2011 I uploaded my very 1st YouTube Video. Check it out! It’s call “Shipper The Talking Puppet.
🛑 Question? Can puppets Sell?
Okay my YouTube Video is still available it’s Called “SHIPPER”
darmonak4. this is an email I used to upload it. My http://Spreaker.com Podcast repaired the Video in Radio RSS-FEED.
WOW!! a gift with potential. I’m like you I won’t share my ideas with all my friends and fam. Why? because everyone’s not on the same page.
Great Idea Viewers love Videos 99% they’ll click & watch til the end.
As a pose to a dead selling script.
Notice I said dead read not all scripts are dead some hold your attention like a Song that tell a story we relate too. That’s me my poems are music 🎼 lyrical stories. Now I have to get a video camera 🎥 and set the tone.
I’m proud of you send me your YouTube link. I’m an advide Viewer.

I thought about getting one after my grandson used his to capture our latest building project with my grandsons and I. It was a blast to watch. I am sure you will put it to good use.
