      In any scenario I would consider GoPro, prosumer at best. But I'm also not an expert on videography or photography. But as a device they seem ridiculous. On par with using a Raspberry Pi in my opinion.

      This is a weird stance. What fixed lens, wide angle, ruggedized, portal videography equipment do you feel so outshines GoPro?

      I have no comparison. But in handling the equipment it felt like rubbish. I've not used it nor would I want to.

      You should. If you ever need something that fits in that specific niche you won't really find anything much better or comparable to a GoPro.

        They are super solid, extremely rugged. Incredible image quality. Being able to do what they do at their size is nearly a miracle of modern engineering. They are used by nearly every professional videography shop today because of their outstanding quality and reliability.

          I have a few, I'm constantly amazed by what they can do. I know @MarigabyFrias's shop uses them, too.

            They've also had a roll in pretty much every major movie in the past decade. Whether it be as a steady cam tracking a shot or on a rig over the shoulder of a character. They are versatile as long as you understand their use case.

              Basically Scott I think is saying that no one in a real IT position would ever consider DD-WRT acceptable for business use. Therefore, since IT is mostly around decision making - the decision to use DD-WRT clearly makes the user a consumer class person, not an IT class person.

              This is all regardless of funds, because funds don't play into it - according to Scott.

                I have a front mount on my Snowmobile for one and have a helmet mount I've never used. I really only use it to capture other people doing stupid shit.

                  Yeah, and if you watch things like sports, travel, adventure, or reality filming, they are practically the most common camera out there.

                    Essentially. But not that funds don't play in, but that there is a minimum threshold. Business is about making money, and if you need to be spending money on a network, you need a certain about of "it to work" and "not to have humans mucking about to get the basics to work." Even in the poorest markets, the cost to make DD-WRT do what UBNT can do for about the same money isn't there. Even if your labour is only $4/hr, DD-WRT isn't actually cheaper, not within reason. And this is only for the absolutely tiniest and poorest of possible businesses.

                    It's like needing a car, but having no money, and deciding that a Yugo is the good solution. It doesn't matter how cheap it is, it doesn't save you money.

                    And yes, the IT decision maker should never be considering DD-WRT for the business. For home because they like to play with it, sure, that's their own fun decision. I use Steam at home to play video games, it's not a business decision.

                      I've got their steadicam mount, it's amazing.

                          What if your job is to play video games?
