I've "gone Pro"


I wish those things you all thought when you saw that thread title were true ; )

The HD GoPro has arrived after a kind redirect to Canada from BigKid. It's charging as we speak but since I'm feeling under the weather today (I think it's H2N2 this time) I'm gonna hook it up to the dog for tonight's dog walk. Stay tuned...we'll try to keep it PG but it's a public offleash park ; )

I fear hooking a GoPro to our dog would just induce widespread vertigo (Springer Spaniel).... ;)

Looking forward to the clips.

I hope that I can get one of these bad boys one day. The videos on the website make it seem so versatile. Curious if there would be a way to attach it to a kite for sky high shots?

I am looking for a good deal on a HD GoPro, any ideas where to look? Everyone I've seen sells them for about $299.
