    I started this in the photography section but received no responses so I’ll try it here.

    I’ve got a GoPro but haven’t used it enough to offer much insight.

    I plan on living forever, so far so good.

    I have one and love it , Eric. I have been very impressed with the quality of the video. The one thing you should know is when the camera is in the housing the sound quality is going to suffer a ton. The other thing for me personally is the amount of time it takes to edit video and learning how to use the software…make sure you have some time to kill!

    Eric, I got my GoPro2 a couple of months ago from REI.  I fish alone so much, that I thought it would be nice to get some video of my experiences.  Have had it several times out on the rivers and when I was volunteering for Warriors and Quiet Waters.  I am extremely pleased with the quality of the video.  I’ve only used it with the head mount so far, but have picked up the Scotty mount adapted for it for the kayak.  Will be using that in a week or so when Yellowstone Lake opens up.  I bought the extra battery pack which really extends the time you can use the camera.  On the head, it takes a bit of getting used to, especially the angle of the camera. (One day I shot sky all day instead of the fishing). I have taken the time to do any video editing yet, just taking a lot of raw shots occasionally.  I’ve attached a couple of raw videos I’ve taken so far this year.  Quality isn’t near as good online as they are at full HD resolution.
