Though
I rarely indulge in toys for my site (hard to
rationalize spending money on something that has no
business model) a certain "friend" discount for the Go
Pro HD 2 couldn't be ignored. At $150, it is one of
the cooler devices I have ever seen and I will
make it be a necessity for the site even if
it's really just fun. But lemme just show you how
fun... thought I'd document a day in the life Go-Pro
style...
HOW FUN IS THAT?!?!
For those that don't know, the GoPro line of cameras
are for strapping to you and going underwater or
jumping off a cliff... basically getting awesome
footage while doing physical things. The fish-eye lens
(which you can switch off, but why?) shows you so much
more than you normally see and this newer model can do
60fps and an impressive 120fps which allows for
incredible slo-motion footage when you play with the
speed. For $150? Are you kidding me? Of course I had
to jump...
...and how cool is
Vienna's birth gonna be? You think I'm not strappin'
this little bastard to me for that? How surreal is
that gonna be?!?!? Man I can't wait.
If you were
wondering the day consisted of getting the Whooping
Cough shot for the baby (guess it's a big epidemic
here in LA, returning some stuff to Walmart, grabbin'
some coffee at Starbucks and some grub at Subway all
put to a weird song I made thanks to watching "Scott
Pilgrim" today. :) Best movie no one saw in a
loooooooooooooooooong time. All things that seem to be
a lot more complicated to do AFTER the baby
comes, but we'll see. :-)
As far as cameras,
I'm still trying to keep my eye out for a deal on a
Canon 5D... though I may have to go 60D or T3i
because of the flip screens. I know I lose a
bit of quality but a flip screen for what I do is
so mandatory I can barely justify not having it. It
was the one thing I said was a must before the
baby came (seriously, even before a CRIB, I feel
a good Canon is a necessity) and I'm hoping
I pull something off this weekend on
craigslist.
