My goodness, it was only announced three days ago. Is it even live yet?

I would guess that he's asking about selling GoPro footage in general on the different stock footage sites.

Ive sold a few from my Hero 3 and also from my iphone. The issue is that i only use it in certain circumstances so i only have about 2 percent of my videos from the hero 3. Rest is with nikon and gh4

Aren't most of these gopro videos full of logos and trademarks, as it's mostly sports people wearing and using branded equipment ( surfboards, bikes, etc. ) or people just doing things with stuff all around?

I have had gopro cameras for a few years now.
The footage does sell, including clips from the HD Hero (aka the first one with HD video )

I have a mix of sport footage (mainly snowboarding, and downhill MTB) and I also use it for some random, non-sport stuff - for instance, dealing with water, dirt, small spaces, or situations where I'd rather lose my gopro than my DSLR, and other times when you just don't want to carry a lot and look as serious as you really are about your footage.

I enjoy them for what they are.

Even with IP contents, they can still be sold as editorial.
