After supper (Joan made steaks), I took the GoPro out for a short session, this time using the phone with the GoPro app as a viewfinder.
If you have the time to set up the shot, it works. You can't just point and shoot quickly... there is a 3 to 4 second delay while the camera sends the view via wifi to the phone. I walked around the docks, getting the reflection of the setting sun in the water. And, some other stuff.
I can see a closer subject is going to be more striking with this camera. I haven't been able to find a place to mount it on the whale watch boats... yet.

I.m sure they make a head band mount
They do. And, a chest mount. And a bunch of others. I got Gorilla Tape! ;-)
Jim, there is a difference in the fish eye effect between the 2 first pics of cloud. The horizon is less rounded on #2. Did you change any settings on the GoPro?
My go pro has been to the bahamas TWICE with my kids. Great pics.
Most fun video was of them doing a 5Kk mud run with son having the camera on a chest mount. Splashing/dunking in the mud, then "squish, squish, squish" as he tried to wipe the lense.
And for the camera, he had several shots of him helping his wife over obstacles--with hands firmly on her a$$. Funny.

Hi Bill. Yes, there is a setting for still shots for wide and medium views. Medium is still pretty wide angle. The video offers a third view of "narrow", which is closer to a normal lens on a 35mm.
Hi Ron. I don't anticipate running through the mud anytime soon, but it is good to know that the camera/housing can handle that. Probably won't have any shots of my hands firmly on the Blonde's ass... well, none intentionally... I'm still getting the occasional up-my-nose shot. ;-) Small camera, ham hands - there's only so much room for buttons on this little thing.
