Use of Gopro in Sandusky Stakeout

[2 Hungry Dogs]

I saw this shot of Sandusky that I guess is him walking into court. Its an AP photo by Gene J Puskar (I want to make sure I give him credit). I noticed the 2 GoPros on the right of the frame. Is anyone part of this media circus. I am curious to know how they are using the GoPros for this.

I'd like to hear too if anyone knows. I'm guessing maybe one video, one timelapse? If it is the Hero2, maybe different FOV one wide one medium / narrow.

I think the other thing of note is the two DSLRs on arms (tripod). I rarely see a still camera mounted to anything, they're always handheld. So someone is definitely doing something here.

I guess they are all busy on the shoot and don't have time for b-roll.net

I've heard of people mounting them on the lens hood of their camera in scrums so that they have a super wide shot of the action while they're shooting tights.

Oh I think I am going to have to try that.

Likely, the DSLRs are shooting video.
