Hula Cam- GoPro Hula Hoop (Watch in HD)

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a hula hoop? Wonder no more!
Music is Paper Moon by Booka Shade.
UPDATE: This video is getting a bit more attention than I ever thought it would and I'm getting asked lots of questions, so please read this first if you require more info!
This was filmed using a GoPro HD Hero camera, which is designed for action filming such as surfing, motorcross etc. It can be attached to your helmet or equipment, therefore it's very small and light, which is how I can still hula hoop with it on my hoop- it's a bit more difficult but possible!
It has a wide angle lens of 180 degrees, which creates this odd effect.
I personally don't get dizzy watching this, but apparently some do so please don't get cross- just don't watch it if you suffer from motion sickness and don't like spinning in circles!
Yes, I am wearing dungarees! It is not an apron. The outfit change is due to recording in a few takes, and I simply have my jumper on in some shots and not in others, as I got hot. Although I appreciate your interest in my choice of styling, it wasn't really something I considered, I was more interested in the camera effect.
This was also my first test of using the camera in this way. Once we have summer here I will be filming some more stuff, including different camera angles. So, if you're interested in seeing more, then please subscribe and I'll get working on it as soon as I can!

As a hooper and flow dancer, I really enjoyed watching this and studying where she places her hands and when, and how long she leaves them placed in a particular spot.

Also, this video is a lot less blurry than previous hoop cam videos that I've watched. Way easier to see where the dancer is around the hoop. Looks like your focus is good, and whoever edited this did a damn good job too.

@theoriginalhelski Ah! Interesting, it looks wider than I would have thought from the camera's perspective. I was going to guess 41". Hmm, well nice video anyways! :)

[piratehellfire]

Also, what diameter is your hoop?

Sometimes, all it takes is a change in perspective to show us exactly how mechanically elegant even the simplest of motions can be.
