Mount Star GoPro Mounts

Using a GoPro can mean that your camera angles are pretty much the same – from the helmet or from your boat. Sometimes the best shots are those that rely on the camera being on the bank, on a bridge or on a paddle. But at the same time you don’t want to be hauling a great pile of kit that takes ages to set up. In my boat a carry a small GoPro roll bag that contains a few bits and bobs for my GoPro while I am on the river. This includes spare cards, battery and a gorilla pod. Small tripods are super useful but you need a way of attaching your GoPro camera to them.

GoPro Hero 3 Part III – Kayaking & Low Light

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

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.

New GoPro Mount System

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 chose this one as it has a nice flat surface near the grip. I removed the sticker and cleaned the flat section with degreaser before attaching the GoPro Flat Adhesive Mount. Continue reading

GoPro Anti-Fog Inserts

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

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.
