Here is another way of attaching your GoPro to your kayak. This uses the GoPro Handlebar Mount
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

Aside from the smaller and lighter aspects of the change there are a number of other things that need to be considered particulary if you are upgrading from the 1 or 2 to the 3. The GoPro Hero 3 doesn’t come with a whole load of accessories. You get the camera/case, 1 x Flat mount, 1 x Curved mount, 1 x Battery, 1 x 3 way Pivot Arm, 1 x QR lock, 1 x Skeleton Back, 1 x Additional (larger) QR mount.
My Gopro Hero HD3 Hero Silver Edition
The camera is the Silver edition which is essentially the Hero 2 but with built in Wifi. You may therefore ask what is the point of changing. Well for me its down to weight and it is this that prompted the purchase. As I wear my GoPro on my Sweet Strutter the less weight the better. I have received a great deal of stick in the past about weighing kit, but I make no apology in taking the time to weigh the GoPro 3 both with and without its case. If this offends you please leave this page now. Continue reading
Hot on the heals of the Wifi App comes the new GoPro Hero 3. The camera specs show that it is yet another leap forward in the action camera market.

A quick run out in my new (to me) Eskimo TopoDuo. I had been after one of these for years. I’m quite impressed with the updated version. I also had a chance to try to my GoPro handlebar mount fixed to the grab handle. It worked pretty well.

The cheap anti-fog strips for the GoPro didn’t work as well.
I have been thinking about this system for a while and decided this PM to put it together. The clamp is a Quick-Grip Irwin Mini Bar Clamp
I tried out the Muvi clip on my GoPro today and it fits. You must use the GoPro bolt as the Muvi one catches on the GoPro housing. This may open up a few possibilities for mount options.
Picked up one of these today – SP POV Carry Case for GoPro HD
I have been able to try a GoPro LCD BacPac
I have recently bought the wifi BacPac which promises to be able to stream live action from the camera directly to an iPhone or iPad. If the app is released soon I can’t personally see the need for the LCD BacPac.
My new Wi-Fi BacPacTM + Wi-Fi Remote
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
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.
