What have you done with your Go Pro

[Blademeat]

Hi as it say's what have you used your go pro for other than the normal?

So far I have,

 

Put it on the bird table to get video of whats feeding there. (had some great shots)

Stuck it on a stick and put it underwater in my pond.

Used it while snorkelling.

Used it to track a rat and a mouse to see where they were coming from/going to. (caught the rat)

tied it to a dog coller.

Used it to watch my dog going underwater in a paddling pool.

Accidently left it on in the bedroom only joking on that one

Mounted it to a quadflyer (4 rotor heli), Can now spy on the nieghbours lol.

Used it to film frogs

Used it to see what the dogs do when we are out.

used it to look under the floorboards.

And some kite stuff.

 

Anyone else got some useful ideas for it or done some insane stuff with it?

[Cyprino]

Conceal it somewhere in the house, lead the missus to the room it's in, then make up a 'confession', possibly involving a particularly attractive work colleague?

 

Then tell her it's all a big wind up and uncover the camera

Yeah, it wasn't left on accidently

 

I don't have a gopro, I have one of the Veho Muvi type cams.

Only had it a few days, so far I have stuck it on a RC car and driven it round the house (into the Mrs feet) and clipped to my jacket whilst out on my motorbike.

[ukspeedtraps]

Stuck it 50 ft up on a mast and did a 360 of the house....

[Blademeat]

@cyprino cheers mate, I can get in enough trouble without your help

 

@ukspeedtraps Good pics, thats a long pole you have lol:D

I will put a vid up when i have flipped the image from upside down of my garden and next doors with the quad. Go pro are taking a long time to update the firmware to do this within the cam.

 

Must be loads more ideas out there for your vid cams folks, Roll em in.

 

Maybe a vote for best idea??? How do we do that? maybe someone can take over and do it.

I shall choose to ignore you mr dready

Here's a sample of what my Cam is like. The quality is a bit crappy, but considering it is the size of a pack of chewing gum it's not bad.

 

I haven't had a chance to edit it yet but I have sped up some of the more boring parts.

not got one yet, but when i do i'm gonna strap it to my buggy and take a 20 minute video of my left foot wobbling about. obviously it's a bit old hat, and arguably been done to death, so may do a few mins of the right foot aswell.

If you're feeling really adventurous you could even put it on the headstock facing towards you!

Made a mount for a 4 line kite and put it in the air......then got chased down by camera whores lol

 

[Flowlovva]

Nice....! Nudge..........Is it a rigid connection to the bridle of your kite or is it flexible?

[nudge1599968719]

its a rigid construction

 

Basically 4 plastic tubes

 

a block of hi impact foam

 

I have cut out a place for the GoPro to sit in the foam I have then pushed 2 of the tubes thru the foam to mount it onto the frame, the other 2 poles are taped to make a "noughts n crosses" frame.

 

The whole thing is attached to the bridle tabs with elastic bands to cushion it. The camera is held in place with a ball bungie.

 

I will try and get some pix for you if you are interested

7day shop are selling the MD80 camera (veho muvi clone) which I have, really cheap at the mo. Personally I would buy it without SD card and then get a class 4 card for it seperately.

If you want one on the cheap, you can usually get those cameras from China on eBay for about £8 delivered!

Have used mine in the pond to film my koi carp[video=youtube;9sEgrJhh-sI]

[oc1rob]

I havent got a GoPro.... I got a Kodak Playsport.

Filmed a bit of mtb on it the other weekend, but the handlebar mount needs refining (or more like scrapping) i plan to see if I can make a chest mount for it.
