Strap it to the arrow! No one has done that yet.

WRT the other discussion here, the great thing about the internet is that people can share their photos and videos with all of their friends and family. The bad thing about the internet is that people can share their photos and videos with all of their friends and family.

After nearly 20 years of non-stop web forums, FB, twitter, etc., we've kind of seen it all 10 years ago. I don't even watch news videos of live police shootings or spectacular crashes, etc., anymore. De-sensitized and bored with it, I guess. Not sure that is a bad thing. I still have FB but I'm tired of seeing everyone's current location and today's cool activity, even if it's a photo of them on a boat in Positano with the supermodel they just banged or in the pits at the Monaco GP. It just all becomes overload at some point.

That doesn't mean that the travel/adventure/fun is any less enjoyable than it ever was, just the sharing might be a little played-out. And Aigel, some of my family are avid bird-watchers, traveling the world to catch the right views. One relative also had one of the world's foremost butterfly collections. I recently read an old letter from 1999 where my brother was about to fly from Africa, (where he lived), to Ecuador with Francois to hunt butterflies. Interesting stuff but I'm glad I did not have to view the (hundred or more) photos.

I think that GoPro vids are cool but don't expect a big audience unless you do something amazing. A friend is skydiving for the first time today, (it was a BD present from someone), he's not going to film it even though he has a gp camera. There are just too many thousands of those vids around.
