Replying to Gopro filming help

Hey ns. Inb4 gopro's for gapers, my friend and i didnt wana use his dslr in the park, dont wana break it (btw, do you guys just use dslr and be extra careful or is there some kinda tough/waterproof case?)

So most of our footage will be done with a hero 2. I dont like pov unless its kinda odd shots (like gopro on ski while big cork3 can b cool) or by Candide, so most of the filming will be follow shots and a few stills.

I know glidecams make edits 10x better so: should i make my own? Get a cheap one (most of them are fucking expensive). Any other cheap stabilasation tips you could give me?


Tl;dr: I need tips on how to shoot Follow Shots with a a gopro so that i doesnt look completly shit.
