The GoPro has completely revolutionized the way people can capture life around them. These hardy little cameras can go anywhere – from high in the atmosphere with a skydiving adventurer down to the depths of the ocean to swim with the dolphins.

The best part is, you don’t have to worry because these cameras are incredibly difficult to damage.

GoPro cameras can also capture incredibly high-quality images and footage, making them suitable for even professional photographers and videographers.

They give you a lot of extra flexibility in your options for recording or capturing and can really allow you to get the creative juices flowing. Here are some fun ideas for using your GoPro in creative ways:

1. Hide It In The Garden On SuperPhoto Mode

SuperPhoto is a great setting that comes when you pair your GoPro to the mobile app on your smartphone. The device analyzes the image and the lighting before picking the right settings to shoot each time.

You can then watch for just the right moment via your smartphone and capture photos and video without alerting the subject of your image. It’s great for getting pets and kids playing or exploring without your interference, as well as getting shy visitors to your garden, like birds or even nocturnal creatures.

2. Macro Streaming Or Live Viewing

You can get incredible macro video and photos out of the latest GoPro devices. The built-in HDMI port is also very useful because it allows you to view the live feed from the camera in real time. You can put your device directly into a beehive, for instance, and see the bees working away or the queen laying her eggs.

It’s a much safer way to witness such things and makes for a great learning tool for schools. All you need to do is set up a power source so that you can leave the GoPro inside for longer and capture more footage. For a live view, get a long HDMI cable and go from your GoPro to your computer or an external monitor.

3. Incredible Hyperlapse Opportunity

The newer GoPro cameras have built-in timelapse capabilities. They take photos at set intervals, which are then edited together to create a video.

A Hyperlapse is a moving version of a timelapse and the GoPro can let you take some amazing shots. Mount the device to yourself, your bicycle, motorbike, car, boat – anything that moves. Then, set it up to take a timelapse and get moving.

4. Float It Out For Unusual Angles

The great thing about a GoPro is that it is so small and can be placed in some strange places to get unexpected angles for shots. In fact, it’s as easy to use as if you want to buy Bitcoin and cryptocurrency online, and as effective.

One great idea is to create a little floating platform for the device so that it can sit at almost the same level as the water for shots of you SUPing or swimming in calmer waters. The platform can be as simple as a frisbee taped to empty water bottles and the GoPro mount attached to the flat surface of the frisbee.
