Anyone ever film their golf rounds before? Any point in doing so?

Seen a lot of videos of people's swing, but could anything be learned from filming a whole round of swings away from the driving range?

You mean like this:

I think it would be a great idea and I have wanted to do it for a while. Hopefully to learn why I hit that pull hook or hit a big fade. Maybe see why I chunk one etc.

Using something like Game Golf or Arccos is more worthwhile IMO. You see exactly what you did on the course and it tracks stats. I only need to see my swing when an instructor is giving me feedback.

I think doing a video of my rounds would be too distracting. Plus I'd feel inhibited. I like to talk in between shots, and make commentary after shots. Game Golf can be distracting enough. For me, right now these gadgets provide too much information and are distracting. Even with Game Golf you can get too preoccupied with your club distance average and not playing golf. So I'm thinking its best to leave these gadgets for the more advanced player. Those of us with higher handicaps need to keep things as simple as possible and focus on having fun.

1) Your instructor is going to show you how to make a correct golf swing.

2) Practice that swing at the driving range.

3) Make that same swing on the golf course.

4) DO NOT make any small adjustments in your swing on the golf course. Trying to fix things will kill your round.

When I take a lesson, my instructor takes a video. That's good enough for me. I can see what I'm doing. He has a GC2. I can see my ball flight there. I can get the carry distance for the club. He can set up a target for me. I can see how far off line I'm hitting the ball.
