The mounts aren't really designed to be used with a bunch of cables coming out of the camera, so how do you mount it?
I even tried WiFi streaming. Very laggy and just awkward and kludgy to use.
And more importantly... it's a fixed lens, and a fisheye lens at that. The fish eye look is cool, for a little while, but it would get old very quickly.
GoPro's ARE cool if you want to run around a club and grab some quick footage. But not really for recording a whole set or streaming. The options for audio are pretty lame too.
A DSLR produces amazing video quality, but as stated before you can't just set one up and leave it on live mode (the sensor will over heat), plus the time limits of using these prevent you from recording a whole set. Again, if you want to grab short footage from a club, a good DSLR will beat out a Go Pro anytime.
