Go Pro Hero 3 Anyone ever used one to film a hunt?

[BullMagnet76]

I was just curious if anyone has ever used the GoPro Hero 3 to film a hunt?  And what your thoughts on the camera were?

I have a Hero HD for a few years and just bought the Hero 3 a month ago.  I used the HD to video my hunts, but unless you're close to the subject, it's not really that great.  Anything farther than 30 yards seemed 100 yards away.  The reason I bought another one is to get more angles.  My main one is the camcorder.

good B roll cams..POV and filming aspects of a hunt..not the kill shot..20 yards looks like a long ways

Like HuntNW said... also can be hard to get pointed in right direction and can miss some of what you want...make sure its on too! I hit the on button twice last year and missed my elk kill (just took a snap shot) and it was only 18 yards...oops...

Here is a quick video. No great shooting on my part.....only the third time I've been out with the new bow. Just playing with camera position.....this is using the head strap. I'm thinking an arm mount may be pretty cool. Regardless....just fun to mess around.
