Well, Im not exactly a new member, but considering Ive never done an intro post - who cares!!

Ive been using GoPro cameras since the Hero2.
Im not really an action orientated buyer, more a casual user - filming in and around the car, filming the kids, etc. Basically anything inside the house is filmed or photoed via my DSLR. Anything outside is my GoPro!

I currently have 4 GoPro cameras - 3x Hero3+ Blacks and a Hero3+ Silver.
The silver was only purchased for a small project and will be sold on shortly - leaving me with the 3 blacks and tons upon TONS of accessories from many different manufacturers.

Since Im a YouTube reviewer, I tend to review anything IT related and anything GoPro related, as well as create guides and tips and tricks videos etc. I guess Im a bit of a gadget lover!

My next main purchase will be a Phantom2 Quadcopter or a RC car like the Traxxas e-Revo. I can't decide which to get! I do like RC Cars and it would be great to mount a couple of GoPros on one, but I like the idea of aerial videography as well!! I have up until the summer to decide on which to go for!!

I think Ifti said it all, and totally agree with what he posted. I as well was one of those Reviewers....

Been there done that. Use my cam for every day use wit hthe other one's you see me holding in my hand.....

I like Ifti, gotten a Quadcopter, and know it is much better and will last longer a Rc car or truck, a tough decision. Take care of the Quad, it will last, one simple mistake it can cost you Big time!

Sharing your fun, having a ton of fun with the gopro . you never know what to expect.

Never to late to Introduce yourself.

I'm not a new member, been lurking here for awhile, but I haven't posted. I do appreciate everyone's input, I've learned alot!

I've had my Hero3 Black for about a year. I've been an underwater photographer for years but never did much video, just didn't want to deal with all the editing. I originally bought it for a motorcycle trip and enjoyed the results so much I'm taking it on our next dive trip in May.

Not exactly a GoPro user yet. My Dad has a GoPro 2 and GoPro 3. One of the activities he does whilst using his GoPro is skiing like many others.

One of the solid cases to carry his spare cameras and accessories was impractical.

So I designed a compact backpack for the GoPro Camera or Cameras and accessories to go in which I though was a lot more practical for activities such as skiing, mounting biking, running, etc. I also included a weather cover to to keep everything dry.

I have called the backpack the GEM Titanium Compact Backpack.

Hi, I'm Sportsfish. I am on youtube as Sportsfish.
I am a part-time fimmmaker, and use my Gopro as my primary (if only), camera.
I have a Hero3+ Black edition, with head, chest, handlebar, and tripod mounts.
I also am a Production Assistant to some other filmmaker friends of mine, who have a crazy flying 6 bladed copter.

New GP user in Miami

After MANY years of dropping hints, the wife finally got me a GoPro! The Hero3+ Silver. I've never used one and it will more than likely only be used on the off road trails mounted on my FJ and filming our water adventures: kayaking, rafting & diving.

Looking forward to learning from all you new pros!!

I'm new to the forum. I was googling around trying to find resources to make me a better videographer when this website popped up. I am older (65) but keep up with technology and enjoy learning about new tech.

Anyway, I have two Hero 3+ blacks and love them. I am a lifelong motorcycle rider and am heavily invested in dirt biking and dual sport bikes. My passion for bikes and the GoPro and a natural fit and I look forward to learning a lot from the posts and people on this forum.

Hi Hi.
Will most likely be a lurker reading advice and learning from the experienced user.
But howdy anyhoo.
Bought the GPH4B to go on a bicycle tour and to go diving with. I don't think I'll be one of those ppl who ride with it on religiously.
Thanks in advance for all I'll pick up here.
