What’s not to love about a GoPro camera? Absolutely nothing. At least that’s what you’d think after watching CBS This Morning’s report on GoPro and its founder, Nick Woodman. Woodman has done pretty well with the wearable camera, selling about 800,000 cameras in 2011. And frankly, some of the footage GoPros have captured is every bit as gushworthy is the report would imply.
By the way, did you know that the GoPro was used to film parts of George Lucas’ Red Tails? Nor did I, and while there were reports of DSLRs being used on set, I couldn’t verify any scenes being shot with one. Sure, the tiny cam’s 1080p footage looks nice embedded in a web page, but I can’t see it holding up on the big screen. [CBS This Morning]
