Shooting with a second camera like a GoPro can add an interesting cutaway viewpoint to the final edit. But some post processing of the auto exposure and white balanced GoPro footage is necessary.

2 camera solo video drysuit dive
In this video, shot with Nikon D7000 and GoPro HD2, I don a drysuit unaided, show the beach entry at Cottage Reef and meet some of the local marine life.

GoPro panning time-lapse kitchen timer
GoPro cameras have an excellent built-in time lapse mode.
Ordning kitchen timers ($14.99) from Ikea have a flat top which is perfect for sitting a GoPro camera on.
Put the two together and you have a very cheap and simple panning time-lapse rig.
For a sturdier platform I stuck one of the supplied GoPro sticky clip mounts on the top of the timer and moulded some PVC plastic into a cup shaped tripod mount for the bottom of the timer.
The timer gives me 360º rotation in 60min (obviously) and an alarm to tell me when it's cooked....I mean finished rotating.
These clips were taken at 1 frame every 2 seconds for 15min (pan of 45º) producing 450 frames. The video was encoded using Timelapse Compiler (Donation ware Mac only) at 25fps resulting in 18sec clips

GoPro HD Hero 2
These tiny wearable HD video/still cameras are brilliant and reasonable cheap. Mine was $358 with free delivery from WetRez in Cairns.
It can record 1080 170º video, 11Mpx stills and time-lapse at a selection of frame rates with a fixed focus fisheye lens. It comes supplied with various mounts and a waterproof housing.
As is the GoPro can't focus underwater but a variety of add on lenses and tweaked housing are available for around $120.
Being tiny and light the GoPro can be attached to helmets, wrist and chest straps, kites, RC models...just about anywhere you can imagine.
Here are a couple of my early videos.
The sealed housing seems to fog up in the sun quite easily. Dessicant tissue pads are available to prevent this.
