GoPro video cameras aren't just good for capturing extreme sports. Their compact size and portability allow them to be held aloft or placed in tight spaces where other cameras can't go.
GoPro released "Virtuoso Violinist" to show how a crisp video can be shot using multiple cameras and angles. Today a GoPro (and its vented back door) was borrowed to record interviews with people who might be intimidated by a large unblinking camera. The vented door is recommended by GoPro to improve sound quality in dry situations and speeds of less than 100 mph.
The sealed plastic case works well for hazardous environments, like the entrance of this bee hive. Has anyone tried using this versatile camera for an application other than sport photography?
Just wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the vented back door is not an optional item in our GoPro kits. This was a decision made to protect the camera --since most uses are in a sport situation. An exception was made in the case John mentioned above since the user specifically asked for the kit and needed better sound. I don't think this will come up often since we have other video camera kits to choose from, but if it does, please ask a supervisor to help. A note will be made in the electronic checklist to say that this vented door case was given.
