While in the area a few weeks ago, I thought I'd try using my GoPro for some elevator photography.  Just to be clear, I didn't buy this camera to film elevators, and this video makes it abundantly clear why.  The super wide angle and fishbowl effect works well for some applications (like giving a wide view out the front of my windshield during car wash videos), but it's too distracting here.  It's also very hard to film free handed when you don't have a viewfinder.  It was a neat experiment, but you probably won't see many more elevator videos from the GoPro.  At least, not in wide-angle mode.

This mall has some pretty cool elevators.  Nice to see the glass Montgomery at Dillards still has its original buttons, and the motor noise on the bottom drive traction elevator at Sears is really cool.

Here's some videos from my last visit many years ago:
