This was a fun shoot. We tried to find as many different ways to mount the GoPro as possible.

I will use this to compose my shots, timelapse or video. Then turn it off and start recording so it doesn't chew up battery life. I like to see what I am shooting. Connecting to the phone gives you about 4-5 second delay, this is really only useful to set up a shot where you can't see the back of the screen. It is a very cool feature though.

Shot at 720p120 fps edited on a 720p24 timeline in adobe premiere. No slow motion software used just reduced playback speed indicated in video. I'm sure twixtor and aftereffects will give you even smoother slow motion. I also wanted to test the underwater housing. I understand why the touch screen doesn't work underwater. I think it uses the heat from your fingers to engage the buttons, so I wonder if you used this houses when its cold out and your fingers are cold if it will still work?

I left the sound intact so you can hear what it records through the plastic housing

I went out to test the GoPro Hero 3 BacPac and Timelapse function from a tripod. I used the BacPac to compose the shot then turned it off, then used the remote to start and stop.http://goo.gl/3yDex

I finally got my GoPro Hero 3 this weekend.

I wanted to shoot and share some handheld test shots and process them in photoshop to see how the photo files took the processing. I also wanted to see how well the metering system worked. I would say its just ok but good enough for what it is point and shoot. I shot with the case on.

So far I am very pleased with my GoPro Hero 3. I have to say it's one of the best pieces of electronics I've ever owned, for what it is. IT'S TRULY AMAZING! I can't wait to get out and shoot more with it so stay tuned!
