The GoPro camera is the Swiss Army knife of video cameras. With its water and shockproof casing it can be used for every possible situation, as long as you have the right mount, or get creative enough. It got a 170° lens which will give the viewer a feeling of being there and holding the camera. It's perfect for backpacking.
