Using a GoPro for both photos and videos is not rocket science. After all, it works pretty much like a point and shoot camera, so how difficult can it be?

Hi Leigh,
I would love to see you with a GoPro. It takes adventure travel sharing to another level.
Awesome post! I bought a Faux Pro instead of a Go Pro. While It works and the picture quality is decent I’m definitely kicking myself for not investing in a Proper Go Pro!
I could of had some wicked Paddle Boarding Shots by now!
