I don't yet have a selfie stick, which would make more impressive videos, but here's a first attempt. It should be a fun toy...

Very impressive.   Thanks for the video NWM.

If you see somebody on a Hobie with 2 sails, it’s probably me. In the summer, I’m out in the Monterey Bay all the time.

Great video with the new system. You make this sailing thing look effortless. Guessing years of experience?

The swell and wind speed look like it made for a great day of sailing.

Also interesting with the 360 is seeing your set-up for sailing as well as fishing.

Looks great.  Did it take you a long time to edit the video?

Not as bad as I thought it might be. The files are huge, so copying them to the laptop took a while, but after that, just mark a few points and it'll automatically smoothly transition between those selected points. GoPro also has a cool feature where you can mark an object, and it'll track that object as it moves around in the field, but that's only available on the iPhone version of the app, which does not seem very practical, given the file sizes. Hopefully, that gets added to the desktop version soon. In any case, I'm pretty happy with the camera so far...
