The Paralenz I believe has no view finder, which in my mind is a fatal flaw for a camera.

I haven't seen anyone with a GoPro on a stick or pole using the viewfinder, so really how important is it if you're not shooting macros?

I'm one of those who uses a GoPro with a stick and use the viewfinder all the time. I can't imagine just shooting blindly.
 
Initially the GoPro also had no viewfinder. It was meant as a POV camera to give the viewer the view the person had. But if you're making any serious videos where you control what goes in it a viewfinder is essential. That's why they eventually added the viewfinder to the GoPro.

Me too
 
Has any got the new Paralenz and used it? interested to know how it compares to Gopro.
I am interested too.
The Vaquita is outrageously expensive but I’d like to know if it is worth the price.
