Which Is The Best GoPro?

28 February 2013 / / 0 Comments

My Gopro Hero 3 Black edition arrived in the UK a couple of weeks ago. The form factor will be familiar to all who have seen or already own the white or silver editions.

Looking at the different cameras (I have silver and black editions) the “3” within Hero3 is coloured to match the cameras edition. That is the Black edition 3 is black and the Silver Editions 3 is silver etc. But what really makes the white, silver and black editions different to one another is what goes on inside.

Modified GoPro Leash System

10 February 2013 / / 0 Comments

I’ve been using a leash on my GoPros since I first started to use the cameras for boating. I have been well aware that if knocked off my boat or helmet that the backdoor of the GoPro will be put under a great deal of stress.

This week I made another leash and add a half-hitch around the thumbscrew. All things being well this should help take the impact load if the leash is ever need.

My GoPro Hero 3 Black edition arrived this week. The form factor is identical to that of the Silver Edition I already have, as it’s the internals that are different.

GoPro Hero 3 Caps & Doors – First Look

19 November 2012 / / 5 Comments

I managed to track down the GoPro Hero 3 Caps + Doors accessory pack within the EU after being unable to find anyone with stock in the UK. Which makes me believe that it may not have landed in the UK at the point when I was making the order. It’s a simple and effective accessory pack for the new GoPro Hero 3. It will fit all three models – White, Silver and Black.

The pack consists of:

A cover for the lens/button on the waterproof case which will help prevent damage to the lens and will also prevent the camera being accidentally switched on during transit.

GoPro Hero 3 Part III – Kayaking & Low Light

1 November 2012 / / 0 Comments

I had the GoPro Hero 3 out this evening on the water. This was the first time I had worn the 3 on my kayak helmet. The weight difference between the 2 and 3 is very noticeable, especially when it’s on your head. This in itself is worth the upgrade.

GoPro Kayak Mount – another option

26 October 2012 / / 0 Comments

Here is another way of attaching your GoPro to your kayak. This uses the GoPro Handlebar Mount and is shown attached to the Eskimo Topo Duo I own. The handlebar mount will only work on a kayak if the grab handles are solid and thick enough.

This will work equally well with the Hero 2 and 3. In the image you can see I have used a leash just incase the camera gets knocked free and a Floaty Backdoor has also been added.
