Going to Hawaii in April and planning on doing a lot of diving, so I broke down and got a Hero3+ Black from Costco so I can get some good video to bring back. I'm also considering getting a personal drone (I use one for work) and will probably use it for that too. Now I'm trying to think of other things I can use it for.

What do you do with your GoPro?

I don't have one but my brother in law uses it for hunting. Makes for some awesome videos when he shoots bucks.

Strapped to the end of a rifle makes good video on an aerial hog hunt.

Have mounted gopro to my motorcycle and captured some weekend rides and toy runs at Christmas.
(just be sure to use the orange rubber doohickey when mounting it. http://vimeo.com/7807995 )

Timelapse feature is cool to mess with. Search youtube for "gopro timelapse" to see how others have used it.

with mine I mainly am doing something cool and think, dang it should have brought my gopro!

Wore it in a demolition derby this weekend. I use it as an everyday video camera for hiking and vacations. Wakeboarding, OC racing and anything I think needs to video taped

For me, mostly base jumping and on a head strap during MMA bouts/training until it gets knocked off. I'll have it with me next month surfing in South Africa in case I get a glimpse of a great white.

Just kidding. Mostly I bootleg bar bands and dueling piano players. For home / family videos I like mixing in wide angle video with my normal recordings. I use the Sony version gopro because it has a better microphone and I think the video is better.

I use it most for time lapses. I'm building a pergola in my backyard at the moment and making a very long time lapse of the construction. I also put it on my bike in time lapse mode so I can capture a couple hours on the bike trails in a few minutes of video. Regular video mode on the bike is too boring. I've made a few videos driving on my favorite roads too.

My latest endeavor was to take apart one of those rotary kitchen timers and use it with the camera in time-lapse mode to take a panning time lapse. I've only done sunsets so far, but hoping to maybe do a game at Kyle this year.

Need to try out slow-mo next and I'm hoping to do a time lapse of my next trip down Buffalo bayou in a canoe. Also thinking about trying to time lapse a road trip to California.

Not a gopro, but I have a ReplayHD on my rifle during competitions. I have seen some shooters with one facing downrange and one facing the shooter so they can sync and splice the video after the fact.

I use an SJCAM4000 in a 2-axis gimbal on my IRIS+ multi-rotor. For filming.

Just got a Mobius action cam that will go on my scratch built 250 quad to record flights. CCTV camera for FPV

I am going to use these cameras this summer for time lapse photos of my trade show being moved in, setup and torn down. Hope to get the convention center's permission to fly the IRIS+ inside as well for cool aerial shots.

I wore mine surfing in Ireland and didn't have super great footage. It was on the chest mount.

Here is my first video with our GoPro 4.

My 1st GoPro Video

I plan to take it on family vacations/use for home videos etc. We are going to Santa Fe in May and will be doing some hiking/biking and would like to use the time lapse function for those activities. We are going to the beach in June and will use it there too.

I really enjoyed the ease of using the GoPro editing software that was a free download. It was very easy to learn and use their editing tools and publish the videos.

Leave it at home when exciting stuff happens.

Not the Jeep I was expecting but worth the view!

Two chicks at the same time.

I don't use my GoPro near enough to justify the purchase price. I need to start working on that. I've used it on a few hunts and a skiing trip. Hoping to use it on my trip to Destin with the kids in July. I originally bought it because it is waterproof but having a lifeproof case for my phone has made it a much more convenient device to use in and around water.

I have a Go Pro and the Sony version of the go pro both still in the box. It turns out that video of me drinking whiskey while watching sports isn't terribly engaging. Anyone want to buy a GoPro?

I use it for anything that comes my way. They're great to have if you do a lot of active stuff. I work offshore so it's great to mount on the boat and do time lapses. Here's one of my vids... https://vimeo.com/68984959
I have the Hero 2 Black and Hero 4 Black. I plan on getting a drone soon to get some overhead shots on some of the things I do.

Go Pros are also good for ring dunks. ;D

Hubby uses his for 3 gun videos.

I used mine when hiking in Zion National Park. It was mostly attached to my chest strap on my pack. Got some awesome scenery with it and some cool footage going through slot canyons.

When I first got my GoPro 3 Black, I used it for a time lapse of my running the BCS half Marathon .

Later on I got a "drone", and started making aerial videos with it.
Bonfire Memorial
Brazos Bend State Park

More recently, I have a buddy that's in a band, and I have played around with mounting it on musical instruments.
Chicken Oil Jam

So it is a pretty versatile little "toy" to play with. Literally the sky is the limit!

How'd you attach it to the chest strap, if I may ask. That sounds like a great idea.

I found a vented bike helmet strap at Walmart. It was like 5 bucks. I just wrapped it real tight around the strap.

I thought that would be better than paying $$ for the chesty, plus I was trying to find a hiking pole I could attach it to. That didn't work out.

In the end, the setup worked, but it was difficult to keep tight at times. It was also difficult to see the buttons and what not. And sometimes my fingers got in the way if I was just taking pictures with it.

One last precaution - we were going through slot canyons, so at times I was not paying attention and the canyon walls scratched up the casing.
