Gopro Hero 3 - Pool Video

[patrickjuhlin]

I am testing out my new Gopro Hero 3 I picked up and thought it would be interesting to shoot some video while playing pool using the headband mount. It gives you a good point of view shot. It would be cool to see a pro player use the Gopro like this to record a match.

Here are the specs I shot it in.
Camera: Gopro Hero 3 Black Edition
Head Strap Mount - Point Of View
1080p
60 frames per second
Protune
(Not sure what YouTube does when it's uploaded but it still looks great.)

Anyone else have examples of shooting pool playing with a Gopro?

P.S. Excuse my crappy play.

Love your table, looks fantastic. I may have to pick up a GoPro. Thanks, Steve

Thanks. I feel like a lucky person every time I play on it.
Gopro's are amazing devices and really are the way we will document our lives going forward.

Posted a 66 ball straight pool run recorded with a POV head camera.

I presume it was a GoPro.

See it here:

If it didn't have a fish eye kinda look to it it would be great.

That would be great for teaching, you can see exactly when someone moves off the shot or if they are aiming funny.

Would be neat to have a pro match recorded this way.

TAR POV PPV VIP Match !

Good stuff I noticed on the shots you missed you had a little left and right sway with your stroke. This tells me you got an awesome device there.
