Mine spends most of its time sitting around gathering dust. I started taking to the pool to record my 4 year old learning to swim, and its great fun. I have been able to document her progress and can share with grandparents etc on YouTube. A Gopro or similar is probably overkill for this, but its another use that I hadn't really considered. (I have a Sony action action cam).
