Founded in 2002, GoPro has grown to become a world-renowned action camera/camcorder company. Pioneering the action camera market, GoPro released its first camera in 2005, which was 2.5 by 3 inches and shot, believe it or not, Kodak 400 film. A little over a decade later, GoPro has released many new versions of their action cameras, the most recent being the Hero4 and Hero4 Session, both significantly smaller than the original and can shoot 4k digital video. Their cameras have become commonplace in the camera bags of filmmakers and adventurers everywhere, their compactness and high video quality making them ideal for their purpose: action filming, squeezing a camera in a place you otherwise wouldn’t dare or couldn’t fit (i.e., the nose of a surfboard, your chest when doing a typically adventurous activity, the windshield of a car, etc.).

Not only do GoPro make and manufacture great video cameras, but they also produce fantastic video content on their YouTube channel, unsurprisingly called “GoPro“. The channel posts videos created using the company’s products, of course, and are essentially miniature ads featuring many different ways and in different situations GoPros can be used in. But that doesn’t mean the content isn’t any good; in fact, GoPro’s video are some of the best action/adventure videos on YouTube as a whole, about topics so diverse as to include surfing pigs and climbing volcanos. The video above is a great example of GoPro’s awesome videos, a compilation of some of GoPro’s greatest videos so far.

Titled “The Adventure Of Life“, the video above was made as an announcement video for GoPro’s newest line of cameras, the GoPro Hero4, as I mentioned earlier. Including clips from many of GoPro’s great videos, the video is a whirlwind of astonishing and stunning shots, and in GoPro fashion, all shot on Hero4s. From standing on the edge of a volcano to climbing to the top of a glacier, the video embodies the idea of adventure that the company represents and encourages. Above all, though, the video is simply a very cool compilation of many amazing videos created by GoPro and their customers. While The Adventure Of Life is one of GoPro’s most popular videos, it is, after all, made of clips from other videos, of which there are a ton. 1,360, to be exact. Each and every one of those are, in their own right, exciting and fun to watch. If you like videos of people (and animals) doing amazing things, you’re sure to love GoPro’s YouTube channel.
