The paper aims at investigating how Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures have affected GoPro users, addressing the way in which the pandemic redefines the relationship between the users, the devices, and the environment. Action cameras, as the name implies, are designed for what Richard Bégin defines as mobilography, “the recording of generalized mobility, including the motility of the filming body, the portability of the technological object, and the ability to enter into the environment.” (Bégin 2016: 115). Through the comparative analysis of the production and the discourses of GoPro amateur users before and during the pandemic, the paper will explore the adaptation strategies implemented by all the actors involved. Finally, the presentation will focus on the environmental impact of the sports and tourism practices that action cameras enable and record, pondering on the (missed?) opportunity for a new “ecological mobilography.”
