GoPro non-Action clip sales and GoPro look

I just acquired a GoPro and have so many different ideas of what to use it for but some of those ideas would generally be shot with a DSLR or proper camcorder. For example, a tracking shot of ants crawling down a tree, landscape / cityscape time lapses, tracking shots through fields of wheat, hands typing on a keyboard etc… you know, the usual. My question is, is the look of GoPro cameras, because they do have a distinct look, attractive to buyers regardless of whether or not the shot is action or a typical stock shot? So to put it another way, wanting to sell more clips, should I get the GoPro out for action and hard to reach shots only or use it for general stock clips as well? It would be nice to know if the look of GoPro cameras are attracting buyers regardless of content.
Any insight would be very much appreciated!!

I've recently uploaded a few hundred GoPro clips. Mostly aerials but other subjects as well. It's a bit early to say whether they have any real earning potential.

The gopro "look" does not attract buyers any more than any other "look". It's not the "look" that matters, but rather the content itself. Depending on the setting of the GoPro lens angle, it may actually be detrimental as it distorts the imagery quite a bit (particularly wide settings). Also, keep in mind, the GoPro has a rolling shutter. This will also impact the quality depending on the settings. There is a reason that hi action sports are in many cases shot at lower frame rates of the GoPro. The "jello" effect can many times make things look really horrible. Use the tools for what they are designed for, not for what they really can't do well. You will find many artists have quite an arsenal of cameras for various purposes/shots. That is what buyers are looking for. High quality with the right tools. There are of course always exceptions. And such exceptions may even allow smartphone footage. But if at all possible, unless the shot is so unique to warrant it (a cat getting sucked up by a tornado with loud meowing then landing on all fours in another state for example), use the correct tools for the job. (And only if the cat survives!)

I've sold some non sports go pro stuff, although for stuff like tracking shots you should probably stick to DSLR or traditional camcorder.

I have a slightly different GoPro question: I have also had some GoPro shots approved. All have the fisheye look. I just noticed that GoPro Studio has a "fisheye removal" check box. It seems to work well (at least appears to on my monitor) for my 1080 shots -- but it must somehow stretch portions of the image (and compress others) which I would guess may possibly create artifacts. Just wondering if anyone else has applied this, their opinion, and acceptance. Thanks.

The remove fisheye filter, removes a lot more than fisheye. I good deal of the scene is truncated, squished and pulled to deform it into a non fisheye look. And the corners do become soft. It depends on the scene, whether this is tolerable or not. Premiere Pro has this filter, but comes with a slider that you can adjust the level of correction. I find that a better solution.

Many thanks, zanyzeus. The filter causes real loss of the image, as I expected but didn't see. Sounds like I need a better monitor (or new eyes)! That's next on my shopping list (the monitor, not the eyes!).

Here's a GoPro clip just approved that I would have had trouble getting with another camera. Noticed our fox terrier had been interested in this rabbit hole for a few weeks so I set the GoPro next to it on wide lens setting and let it run for a couple of hours unattended. Wouldn't want to leave my more expensive camera's out in the open and the wide lens setting enables you to put the camera real close. Ran the clip through the "fix gopro wide angle" filter in Boris CC9.
I'm sure my dog dreams of getting this close to those rabbits lol.

That is what GoPro or cell phone cameras are good for. Really IMHO nothing else. Use them when it's a once-in-a-longtime shot or when a good camera could be damaged. Don't buy a goPro for normal everyday stock footage or photos. IMHO same goes for cell phones. Ever wonder why good cameras have a bigger lens .... yes the lens is a huge part of quality.
