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 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.
My current GoPro Setup.
The final bit of outfitting for my new Pyranha Jed was a GoPro guide sticker.
Some really nice mounting options for the GoPro cameras are shown in this GoPro promo.
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).
I bought a GoPro Floating Back Door a couple of weeks ago and this weekend it did its job.
It keeps the camera on the surface and is easy to spot. Job done!
Not getting the correct settings on your GoPro for a particular shot or sequence is something that I find occurs quite a lot. Carrying the guide/manual around whilst paddling is also a bit of a nightmare. To try and solve this issue I have had a few stickers made up that show some of the key display codes from the GoPro. One of these is now stuck inside each of my boats.

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!
A quick bit of video shot on my GoPro HD2. Edited on a Mac Mini with iMovie.
Here are a few of options for mounting your GoPro to a kayak or canoe.
1. Rear grab handle mount (Raised)
The Go Pro camera (or at least the mount) has definitely become the must have accessory for kayaking/canoeing helmets. You can find loads of videos on both Youtube and Vimeo showing footage shot from a helmet mount. So from time to time it’s quite nice to see shots from a different angle, such as in the image shown below.
The image is a screen grab from some footage taken on a Go Pro HD mounted to a homebrew kayak mount created by my good friend Mr Phil Higgins.
