A few years ago, I wrote about the workflow I have for video editing. One thing I did not touch upon was the fact that a not insignificant amount of my raw footage comes from GoPro cameras.

Which camera drone – a look at the changed market
Funny, isn’t it, when a new product, which changes the market arrives, another – from a competing brand – is not far behind?

I’ve been on the fence about getting an action cam until this winter, when I finally pulled the trigger on a GoPro Hero Session. I’ve been using it for a few months; here are my thoughts:
