Those of you who use The Ames Library regularly know that we offer a variety of equipment for checkout: MacBooks, Kindles, audio recorders, and so on. All you need in order to borrow this equipment is your student ID and you’ve got it for five days.

Did you know that we now have a GoPro, though?

That’s right! The Ames Library recently acquired a GoPro Hero5 Session with 180 minutes of recording time. You can shoot video in 4k resolution and take photos up to 10 megapixels. The GoPro comes with a curved adhesive mount, a flat adhesive mount, and a mounting buckle. It’s also submersible in water to a depth of 33 feet.

Whether you need to make a short film for an end-of-the-semester project or just want to capture some unique shots of campus life, the library’s GoPro is your new go-to.

(View our equipment checkout policies here and then drop by the Library Services Desk on the main floor to grab the GoPro. Just make sure to bring your student ID with you!)
