I bought into the GoPro package years ago, for karting and racing. I found that even with the low res early units (which were significantly lower cost than The Coolest New Version), I had enough pixels to see where I was on the track and critique my driving after the fact.

I carry the GP on hikes for time lapse. You're sitting at the summit watching the clouds go past for half an hour, why not make some video of it? It's not great for that application, but it's definitely a workable solution.

Recently, I've started using a GoPro for diving. The weakness there is that it has no display, so you can't see what you're shooting. After taking a lot of video that *almost* includes my intended subject, I finally sprung for a Hero 5 Black, which has a display. I'll let you know in a week or so how that works out, if you're curious.
