the go pros are great fro timelapse stuff - and because you end up with a huge frame you can pan and scan through the timelapse for a great effect also - to do a fake dolly in out or cross move
the only downsize is that without shutter speed control you cant create longer exposures for nice motion blur / correct video motion blur - which makes timelapse so much smoother.
If only I was was smart enough to have thought of this one by myself!
Why? Collaboration is the great benefit of the Internet. We can't think of everything but through this great big network what one finds and decides to share can benefit those who choose to take benefit from that sharing as much as the person who shared it.
