GoPro Leash

22 June 2012 / / 3 Comments

I usually wear my GoPro attached to my Sweet Strutter helmet. The curvature of the helmet doesn’t quite match the profile of the curved GoPro mount. So although the mount is secure there is a pretty good chance that a hit will knock it clean off. I have therefore installed a leash system.

There are a number of arguments for and against attaching the camera with a leash. Most of the against centre around the risk of snagging. At the end of the day I have thought carefully about the pros and cons and have decided that I will use a leash.

My new Wi-Fi BacPacTM + Wi-Fi Remote arrived today. Probably one of the first in the UK to be out/about and on the web.

Here’s some info from the GoPro site:

The Wi-Fi Combo Kit enables remote control, live preview and playback on smartphones and tablets, live streaming to the web, and more. The Wi-Fi Combo Kit is compatible with HD HERO2 and Original HD HERO cameras.

To start with here are a few images of the BacPac during its unpack.

When I outlined my current GoPro setup a few weeks ago I highlighted the fact that I wasn’t 100% convinced that the GoPro Anti-Fog Inserts would work.

GoPro HD Hero 2

3 June 2012 / / 0 Comments

I have been using at least one GoPro HD Hero2 for the last 8 months. Without a doubt the cameras represents a step up in terms of picture quality and ease of use. Video is filmed at full 1080p and the camera now boasts the capability of taking stills at 11 mega pixels.

The HD Hero2 is billed as being ‘2x more powerful in everyway’ and that it gives ‘Professional power to the people’. The Hero2 retains the same overall design and size of the previous 960p and 1080p models. The big difference is what lies inside.

GoPro Accessory Roll II

3 June 2012 / / 0 Comments

Over the last few months a couple of these GoPro accessory rolls have been put together. The idea is to have all of your bits and bobs together in one easy to get to and well organised package. The one shown below (MKII) is made from Cordura and is designed to hold a Gorillapod, a screwdriver, a spare Wasabi battery and SD cards stored in an aLoksak waterproof storage bag.

My new GoPro

29 May 2012 / / 0 Comments

My GoPro Hero 2 arrived today. It’s joined my now growing collection of GoPro cameras.

The aim over the next few weeks is to try a few multiple angle shots from multiple cameras. The suction cup mount is definitely a great resource to have.

GoPro” target=”_blank”>GoPro HD2 (bought as part of the Outdoor pack), but the Motorsport bundle offers a little more – GoPro Motorsports Hero 2. I have added a 2mm dyneema cord leash and a nice little mini S-biner.

GoPro Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery. Having this extra battery (plus additional SD cards) will really allow me to cover a full days worth of boating.

GoPro Suction Cup Mount. This arrived at the weekend and I plan to give this a bit of a test on the car and kayak over the next few weeks.

GoPro Floating Back Door. This has turned out to be a very useful accessory.

Joby Gorillapod. Great for attaching to fence posts, trees etc. You do need an adaptor to attach it to the GoPro.

GoPro Anti-Fog Inserts. Not 100% convinced about these but will be trying them out over the next few weeks.

Also in the photograph is my MYOG custom grip. Not in the photograph are my SD cards and a couple of custom made mounts from a new UK based firm (more info soon).

The Best GoPro Package for Kayaking?

30 April 2012 / / 0 Comments

As of 2012 what is the best GoPro package for kayaking? Over the past couple of years I have owned two GoPro cameras. The first was a 1080p hero and the second the HD2. In both cases I bought the helmet mount bundle (or the Outdoor Edition as it is now known) and although most of the mounts have been used I have never used the elastic headband mount.

The Best GoPro Package for Kayaking

Initially I had dismissed all of the other package/bundle options as I wanted to mount the camera on a helmet and the helmet mount pack seemed the logical one to go for. However, more recently I have been looking a little more closely at which bundle offers the best solution for the film making kayaker.

The Stout of the Snout

Sam Ellis styles it down Cauldrons Snout. A class V+ stretch of whitewater on the River Tees (UK).

Sam Ellis running the Cauldron Snout on the River Tees. You can count on one hand how many times this section has been successfully run. But this is the first time it has been ran with a substantial amount of water. The river was at approximately 0.7 on the nearest river level gauge.

Cauldron Snout is 180m long and is recognised as Englands longest waterfall which looses 61m giving it a gradient of 34 percent. Sit back watch and enjoy!

GoPro HD 1080p

15 December 2011 / / 0 Comments

The GoPro HD camera seems to be the must have extreme sport accessory. The GoPro HD is the latest incarnation in the GoPro series. For such a small and simple looking camera it delivers stunning high-definition HD 1080p video in a very light, waterproof, robust and user-friendly package.

The GoPro HD 1080p comes in variety of flavours that contain the same camera system but a range of different mounting straps and options. The pack I purchased from Dogcam was the helmet mount package. Continue reading
