Best SD Card For The GoPro Hero 3+ (3 Plus)

One of the biggest areas that is overlooked when getting a video/camera setup for trips out is the speed of the your SD card. The GoPro HD Hero2 camera supports SD/SDHC cards up to 32GB (any SD card over 2GB is considered to be a SDHC card).

The new GoPro Hero 3 range – white, silver and black and the even newer GoPro Hero3+ use Micro SD Cards.

The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD cards. Speed Class is a minimum speed based on a worst case scenario test and represents the minimum transfer rate of data that the card is capable of.

Peak Design Ltd POV Camera Mount

Peak Design are a US based company who design innovative camera accessories. The one that has caught my eye is the Camera Capture Clip with the POV kit.

Peak Design Ltd POV Camera Mount

From Peak Design:

Need to turn any backpack strap, belt or strap-like object into a mount for a GoPro® or any P.O.V. video device. Shoot video in ways you’ve never imagined with these durable and ultra-versatile products. Buy Capture and P.O.V. Kit together and save $5 off retail prices when purchased separately.

What you essentially have is a quick release system that allows you to attach your GoPro to belts and straps. I’m thinking it could be a great addition to my GoPro mount kit as it will allow me to securely fasten the GoPro to the shoulder strap of my PFD.

I have a set on order and expect it very shortly.

SD Card Recommendations – GoPro, Drift, Contour

One of the biggest areas that is overlooked when getting a video/camera setup for trips out is the speed of the your SD or Micro SD card. Now this doesn’t matter if your camera is a GoPro, Contour, Garmin, Sony or whatever because without a good memory card you may struggle to capture the video footage you want.

Mexico Part I

Mexico part 1 from Creek Sides on Vimeo.

Creek Sides went to Mexico this year and what we found was nothing short of spectacular. The Valles area hosts a myriad of waterfalls that are fun, some are easy, and some… are as big as you’ll ever want to go. We went on to Veracruz to spend time on Alseseca. The Alseseca is one of those special places you rarely come across, if ever. It’s why creek siders come from all over to experience its magic. The quality and quantity of whitewater in Veracruz is nearly unmatched, the world over. When you are ready to fly off big waterfalls, go deep into remote canyons, or even explore first descents.. you won’t have to travel far. It’s all here and when your day is over tacos and beer aren’t far away either. Here’s are some highlights on how our trip began. Stay tuned… more to come.

River Tawe Jan 2014 Scotty Camera Mount Experiments

River Tawe Jan 2014 Scotty camera mount experiments from Five Element Productions on Vimeo.

A test of the Scotty kayak mount with a GoPro. WARNING: This video contains shots of mild white water kayaking slowed down in an attempt to make it look far more dramatic than it actually was…

This trip also resulted in a rather embarrasing swim after going through a stopper and hitting an edy by mistake before getting sucked back into said stopper for a head pounding. Scotty mount survived it nicely though!

Kaituna Gnarly Gorge 100% GoPro

Kaituna Gnarly Gorge 100% GoPro from SB Productions on Vimeo.

Fun lap with the boys down the Lower Gorges of the Kaituna. After scouting for new wood we decided to paddle Gnarly and it was awesome, some of the best most continuous white water in between vertical walls covered with moss and pangas. Such an amazing place, doesn’t get much better!
Thanks Brendan, Tim and Tyler for showing me down!

Tree Trunk Gorge

Tree Trunk Gorge from Martina Wegman on Vimeo.

Tree Trunk Gorge on the Tongariro River, just South of Taupo off the Desert road in New Zealand is a Unique place. To enter the gorge a crux rapid with a huge tree has to be paddled or a 6 meter seal launch lands you right above the first 40 footer. Straight following that is another 8meter drop to exit the gorge.

Music: Brand New – Adventure Club.

VE Paddles

I’ve been using Vertical Element full carbon custom crank paddles for some time and love them. I was able to get a custom set of paddles (left handed) on a cranked shaft ordered and delivered within a couple of days (inc a weekend). Awesome service and a great British product.

Grizedale Beck Pin To Swim, To Unpin.

Things can go wrong. When they do it’s important to have the skills, kit and quick reaction to deal with it. This great video from Liam Chambers shows just how important this is.

Grizedale Beck pin to swim, to unpin. from Liam Chambers on Vimeo.

Sometime about 18 months ago we were waiting for rivers to come up in the lakes and went to this, adamant to get on and paddle some for the sake of paddling myself and Greg ran the entry falls to the main slide.

Was it worth it? No. Was that safety course worth it? Yes. Could it have gone worse? Almost definitely. Here’s what happened.

Filmed using Nick Woodman’s finest.
