It's damned near winter here, too cold and too dark outside to do anything, besides, I'm physically shot to Hell. Thought I would fire up the Go Pro Hero (low priced model) and record something with the keyboard and shotgun speakers, just so the OP would get an idea of what you can do with one of these. The camera is just 3 feet away from the keyboard, the only sound is from the keyboard speakers, and the light source is just an overhead shop light in the ceiling of my office. As you can see, with the camera just three feet away, the ultra-wide angle lens picks up nearly the entire office. I sat it on top of one of my printers and just pressed the start button and began playing.

Now, before anyone goes off on this old codger's playing ability or techniques, I will be the very first to admit I'm not a player, or even a musician. I would have sung the song, but I no longer have the lung capacity to do this one. And, I know I could have thrown in a few transition chords, but at this stage of life, I really don't feel like putting a lot of extra effort in a song that I no longer perform in front of an audience. So what you see is what you get!

The thing that impresses me about this tiny, $125 video camera is the overall quality. Keep in mind that You Tube really lowers the video quality quite a bit so it will stream faster. The actual video quality, which is what I get to see on my PC before uploading, is incredible.



All the best,

Gary
