GoPro Hero4 Silver

#1

Unread post by SJB »

My Son got me one of these for my Bday. Color me non-techie to the max.

Question 1: It seems to me that getting a head strap rig (with a chin strap for stability and secure fit) would be a good way to go.
Hands free.
Point and shoot where I am looking.
Anybody have any suggestions or experience with such?

Question 2: Any insight that might help me avoid errors and actually make effective use of this gizmo?

Thanks

With the fish eye lens they makes waves look much flatter than they really are so its pretty hard to get good footage.

I found the mouth mount t be the least intrusive, as you can handle it switch it on then stick it in you mouth, its hard to fumble around when there on your head or back.

have fun, but dont let the dam things ruin your surf. :o
