I receive a couple of emails each day asking about my current GoPro setup<\/a> so here is an update.<\/p>\n

\"unsponsored_karma<\/p>\n

I use both a GoPro Hero 3 Black and 3+ Black editions. Both have there firmware updated every time there is a new release.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All of my GoPros<\/a> are fitted with a GoPro Floating Back Door<\/a> when they are used on my boat or helmet. The OEM floaty backdoors are supplied with a door and float. The door will fit all of the currently available GoPros<\/a> (Update: will not fit the recently released GoPro Hero 3+). But I have also been trying out a float that I have attached<\/a> to one of the doors I already have. This seems to be working well and is half the price. They also all have a leash system <\/a>fitted as a backup.<\/p>\n

I find the WiFi system useful and although I own a WiFi Remote – Hero 2 and 3<\/a> it is rarely used. I tend to use the iOS app more than anything else but this will only connect with one camera at a time. However I do plan to use the WiFi Remote<\/a> a little more when I am lining up shots for multiple cameras and setting them “off” at the same time.<\/p>\n

All of my cameras also have a GoPro Anti-Fog Insert<\/a> fitted. I’ve tried various alternatives but find (reluctantly) that the GoPro ones are the best.<\/p>\n

I tend to carry at least one spare battery and have opted for the Wasabi Battery for the Hero 3<\/a>. It has a little more umphh than the OEM unit and is cheaper!<\/p>\n

\"Current<\/p>\n

The GoPro pack of doors<\/a> and caps has been a great investment. They help protect the lens on both the camera and the case so are well worth the money.<\/p>\n

I use a flat mount on the bow of each of my boats and a curved mount on my helmet. It’s useful to have a GoPro Grab Bag of Mounts<\/a>\"\" kicking around.<\/p>\n

\"Current<\/p>\n

I use a Joby Gorillapod<\/a> and a Mount Star mount<\/a> for tripod duties. The Mount Star mount allows me to clip my GoPro<\/a> straight into it without having to mess about with taking things apart.<\/p>\n

\"Current<\/p>\n

For the Hero 3 the cards must be Class 10 and I have chosen to go 16GB plus in all cases. My thoughts on suitable SD cards can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
