gopro goes cinema (mod)

I don't get it.

I though people would use GoPro for sports , underwater ,maybe some fancy shots you can't get with your main camera.

But if you attach a rig to make the footage usable for a filmmaker with the gopro, I assume the rig might easily broke ?

someone explain me :(
 
Alleged 4k resolution
Interesting frame rates
small form factor
Macro focusing

I think this effort was more of "hey look how cool we are, we can mod anything!" which is what the company specializes in..

"Camera support product specialists View Factor have used the GoPro Hero to showcase their camera modification skills and created the Novo: a heavily customised Hero 3. The result is a more controllable device, which uses custom geared C-Mount lenses and has a much greater degree of control over all aspects of the camera."
 
I love it :) I would love to make a short film with one of these. It's always fun to play with these things. You dont need to GET anything from it..

GoPro will get firmware upgrade to 4K 24fps i think. Dont quote me though. Image skew is still quite bad though :S

To be honest, those close up frames with that cmount lens could very well be 5D Mark III, if not FS100 or C300!
