Photos. I'll probably get around to photographing a guitar with this new camera. I have a GoPro (Hero 3 Black) that I find incredibly frustrating. So much so that I haven't used it in a very long time. Left it home. I had read that the Hero 6 and Hero 2018 are easier to deal with. In doing some online research, I came across other action cameras that do much the same for a fraction of the price. I ordered an Akaso V50 Pro, and have had it for a week or so.

I have been having a lot of fun with this inexpensive camera ($119 with a bunch of accessories). It does 4k video and 20mg stills. And, dare I say, it is pretty darn easy to use.

Attached it to the Vespa today and we did a 100 mile loop on the scoots...

The videos are raw - no editing, no music over. The still photos have been big fun: I have a remote that is watch-like; strap it to the left grip and I can shoot photos without taking my hand off the grip.







Riding is a part of my life - it's what goes with my guitar as "better than therapy."
