My kids are playing more baseball/softball and I am thinking about getting a camera to record instead of having to constantly hold the phone up. I would rather have a GoPro since I could use it more than the Mevo for other things like skiing and fishing. Does anyone use a GoPro with GameChanger that could share some reviews? Pros and Cons of using it with GameChanger compared to Mevo?

Little Maxstynn's never going to make it to the big leagues if you're just using a GoPro and some software. We paid to have a batting lab installed at our house in Watson so we could make changes in real time.

Go with the GoPro. Nobody wants to watch videos of your kids playing ball but the video quality will be top notch

I use GoPro for this. I think the mevo would be better. The battery does not last long enough. GoPro is a good option but I think others like mevo may be better.

hire a professional videographer to record his games and cut up the tape. Gotta have quality film for the MBL scouts.

Just watch and enjoy. I get most of my son’s videos from other people. I don’t want to jinx him…so I just nervously watch.

You should definitely look into the Nexus Mount. That’s what we use with our phone/go pro. Works great, doesn’t fall or move much and it helps it from over heating with the sun!

Which product has the capability to detect launch angle and exit "VELO"? That's the cool stuff you need to know so you can send it off to the MLB scouts.

The GoPro is great, because it is small, and the video always comes out absolutely beautiful on a large tv. Some people do not care for the wide angle lens, but for filming your kids playing baseball, I'm sure it's fine.

Y'all frickers hate some kids sports.

Bunch of basement dwelling video game losers

There isn't a damn thing wrong with using current technology to film your kids sports endeavors. Parents have been filming kids baseball games for decades. Get over yourselves.

GoPros are better for fast motion/close range video.

You can buy a good DSLR that records video and you'll be able to use it for standard photography.

Just admit that you are a perv and just want to record MILFs without making it too obvious.

I’ve researched this both online and by talking with other parents who stream at the park. Everything I’ve heard points to the Mevo being superior for streaming with GameChanger. Everyone said the GoPros overheat after a few innings compared to the Mevo and the video quality is better with the Mevo as well.

GoPro is terrible for streaming games.

Mevo is the best option.

However, we use our son's phone to stream. Almost just as good of quality as Mevo, but no hassle of extra equipment. Phone as way better than GoPro.

Phone, external battery pack, and a magnetic cooler.

Don’t worry about filming because I heard ESPN is going to pick up the games.
