Tech Diaries: GoPro’s Helmet Hero

Busy shooting in Cannes, between the odd champagne, Brooke Hemphill found the GoPro ideal for hands-free filming.

I’m currently sitting in the south of France – glass of champagne in hand – while my GoPro hangs over the edge of my villa balcony capturing still images of the Cannes street below.

I’m having a conversation about the visual artist Keith Loutit and his incredible tilt shift videos of Mardi Gras and the cliffs of Bondi that will inspire me to stay up for hours in an attempt to recreate the style with my GoPro footage.

When you get over my blatant European boasting – believe me the thirty-five hour journey to get here knocked most of the initial thrill out of me – let me tell you about the nifty little GoPro camera.
