Bigbud Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 oooh i just ha a brainwave! ok checkit, get a sd adapter for a micro sd card that goes into a phone. cos a phone can view just about anything these days. much more so than another brand of digital camera anyways.. Just had a thought, you'll be staying where there is a Tv wont you ? Just plug into that with the lead Quote

ady Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 tested my gopro today using two tie down straps onto helmet and one side came undone so worried about losing it now. Is there a safety wire/line/strap that could act as a second/safety? Don't think i'll risk the stick on ones yet. If not maybe fishing line may save it getting lost!!! Quote
Bigbud Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Ady I got a lanyard that we use for whistles, larkshead round the base of the cam then clipped the other end onto my helmet First footage wasn't great, wind was really low Had about 30mins when I was well powered and got some of my best jumps Unfortunatly the cam some how went to pic mode and all I got was a pic of my bar and lines That said I put together what I got into a vid just for reference, not worth watching it all unless your bored The sun was very low and bright and the go pro struggled with it also water on the lense was a real pain, a lot of the footage I got was trash as you could see anything. Its all in there so you can see what I mean. Have got some rainx I use on my motorbike viser I'm going to try next time out. Go Pro Test on Vimeo Quote
Bigbud Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Also I never realised how much I look at the kite and I'm moving my head all the time, for better footage I've deffo got to stop moving my head so much... Quote
brassneck Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 ah ha.. now I know what to buy jim for his birthday.... http://www.backbraceguy.net/1386049316_35830bd5b7_m.jpg :D Quote
ady Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 thx Jim,will give that a go. used mine on sunday in low wind too and know exactly what u mean about keeping the head still. Pls let me know about the rain x on the lense (if it works) cheers. Quote
benbaron Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 waddabout strapping it to your leg, i might try that and see what kinda footage (scuse the pun) i get from that.... Quote
sprogg Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 anyone know what the orange rubber loop bit is for that comes with the adhesive mount? Quote
_Geordie_ Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Just need to learn how to edit the film now, what did you use? I used Premiere Pro CS4 with all the latest update and the MainConcept codec. If anyone else has any other solutions I'd like to hear them - quite a few of the lads here can't get the footage sorted as they can't get an editing program and can't be arsed with PPro. Even viewing HD footage is pretty intensive on the machine. TMPGEnc works for editing and can convert for other editing programs. Quote
muttley99 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Jim, Ady, out of interest what version of the go pro are you using the standard or the HD? Quote
Bigbud Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Std mate, couldn't afford the HD....That and I couldn't edit the HD as my computer is old :D Quote
ady Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 I bought the Hd model. Little more future proof. Quote
freefall Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 has anyone got any pics of how they attached the gpro to there board. i'm going to use a stick on pad and make a leash of some sort to the fin bolts. would be good to see one thats already done cheers Quote
benbaron Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 Somebody mentioned fishing line for a safety leash, thats what im gunna do. Anybody know what that orange thing that comes with the camera is? cheers Ben Quote
willbedder Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 I was recently searching for a headcam, and have opted for the Oregon AT3 Camera have not yet managed to strap it to the LE of the kite but have been very impresed with wakeboard and ski footage, so highly recommended! Quote
CKB Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 has anyone got any pics of how they attached the gpro to there board. i'm going to use a stick on pad and make a leash of some sort to the fin bolts. would be good to see one thats already done cheers A leash might be a good idea ! I bought the GoPro Suction mount, (meant for Cars) and there must have been a fault with the sucker because it wouldn't stay attached, even without a camera on it. http://www.actioncameras.co.uk/images/P/Suction.jpg Others say they are difficult to remove even when you prise them off.... and will stay on aircraft flying at 150 mph! (Must have been a bad one & hoping GoPro will sort it out with ATB Shop) Considered buying a roll of the 3M VHB Acrylic Foam Tape 4991 25mm x 16.5 m (instead of the GoPro Grab Bag with extra pads & other bits) -but you can only get it in packs of 3 and its V. expensive at £159 http://www.thepackagingstore.co.uk/images/4991.jpg Quote
