SCIENCE FACTS

● ● GoPro now has dozens of models of cameras, with the most popular being its HERO line. ● ● In 2016, a group of climbers beamed back GoPro video images from atop Mt. Everest!

How to Use GoPro The action cameras work very much like standard video cameras or videophones. The operator can use buttons to frame and film in still or video mode, in slow-motion or other modes. GoPro is unique in that is can also be attached to gear, such as this surf- board or to atop this windsurfer (below) to capture viewpoints that standard cameras cannot. After the initial “heat” of early GoPros, the company has strug- gled, but is looking at new models and new filming ideas to continue leading this market.
