Yet, as practice shows, there is no stopping creativity. And if you are not quite ready to skydive or go looking for the next big wave from Point Break, there are still a lot of cool things you can capture that will earn you lots of YouTube followers.

Let’s take cooking for example. Now I know what you’re thinking, “what does a GoPro camera have to do with cooking?” Don’t worry, we’ll explain. You might be surprised at how much you can do.

Share A Recipe

Good food is meant to be shared. Instead of scribbling complicated instructions on a piece of paper, why not make your recipe fun and interactive?

Capturing the cooking process is easy. Just think about where you want to mount your camera. As shown in the videos below, where you mount your GoPro is really important. While it makes sense to have your camera strapped to your chest or head as you move around the kitchen, don’t be afraid to experiment. Changing the perspective will make your cooking tutorial much more fun to watch.

Extreme Cooking, Anyone?

Forget about what we said at the beginning of this post. It seems like it’s much harder to take the extreme out of GoPro than we originally thought. How else do you explain this guy boiling his GoPro so that the world can see what happens to a poached egg?
