Peak Design Ltd POV Camera Mount

31 January 2014 / / 0 Comments

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.

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.

Surprise, Surprise – GoPro Hero 3 Plus Black Edition

1 December 2013 / / 0 Comments

Although the GoPro Hero 3 plus black edition system excels at recoding video footage it can also take some pretty good still shots. I often like to set the GoPro Hero 3 plus black edition to take still images every 30 seconds to see what it comes out with.

Now and again my GoPro really surprises me. The shot above was taken using standard settings in low light. I quite like it!

The GoPro was set up on the bow of a Wavesport Recon using a standard sticky mount. A tether was used to keep the GoPro Hero 3 plus black edition safe in the event the mount failed. The camera was set up facing the paddler.

Having around £300 worth of GoPro camera sink to the bottom of the river is not a pleasant experience. I have been there and it is not nice.
