I'm a fan of the flexibility of GoPros, and having the cameras on the boat/inside the capsule/on the side of the boat/wherever... If you get good with them you can use them around you pit with a small tripod and get some decent video..... HOWEVER it's not going to do anything like SHARPSHOOTER/Jerry OR the video capability of a full frame (or crop sensor) DSLR Cannon/NIKON...

At any rate they are cheap and can go many places that a DSLR or traditional video camera CANT go... :)

Yes, we have! They run them on the top fuel boats too.

Yeah, we are looking for a beach camera on a tripod. Need to find a good one.

Panasonic HC-VX870K and a good fluid head tripod. Regarding the tripod, I like to go to the camera store and mess around with them in person.

The tripod is more important than most people realize. I can make almost any average camera look good with a decent fluid head tripod. :)
