Cinematography comes from the Greek words (kinema) and – (-graphia). means revolution and was used by mistake instead of the correct greek word (kinesis) which means movement. Both of these words come from the word (kino) = move, hence the mistake was easy to make.- comes from the verb (write) and therefore indicates a technique for depicting something on a surface (paper, canvas, film, stage etc).Therefore the appropriate word would be cinesiography.

Below: and my favorite camera of all time: The Go Pro HD

My Go Pro HD cameras have their own pelican case:
GO PRO HD CAMERAS
The newest generation of Go Pro Cameras has an LCD screen. It allows you to view your shots and it has a playback option. Just make sure you have a couple extra batteries because the LCD monitor takes a ton of power.
In my opinion, this is one of the best angles for a go pro camera to be mounted on a surfboard
A must when shooting a DSLR camera. The Marshall 5inch HDMI monitor.
