Bought a Go-pro Camera

[Carver370]

So I bought a Go-Pro at the end of last season to make some nice videos of customers boats and really only had one last chance to test it out before our weather turned to junk up here.

The mount is incredible and even the youtube compressed video is of great quality for such a small basic camera. Check out the video below, just pretend its a Sea Ray guys...

All runs were somewhere between 20-24 mph and anywhere from 3100 rpm to 3400 rpm. The wake is my favorite view when I am on any boat!

That is a cool view for a video. Does the camera attach by suction?

 

[Carver370]

Its a suction cup mount that comes with it, they also give you a few mounts that you can double sided VHB tape in place for a more permanent solution. The suction cup mount is very strong, although I did tie a small line to the camera just in case!

I love mine as an assesory camera.....I actually went on ebay and bought a mount that will stick through anything.....Much bigger and has its use.....One hint when using the suction mount.......attach a small balloon, fenser, etc or something similiar incase for some reason the mount releases.......it will float and you can turn around and find.....hook it around hand strap

It also has an articulating arm adjustment for all angles which is better than the pro go suction cup

Ok......lets get this straight......(I might have to upgrade) -when is the last time you told a female (other than your wife) that you owned a boat and when you mentioned it was a "Bridge" boat her whole attitude changed and she indicated because you owned a "Bridge" boat you could have your way with her??

Great video. I've been waiting to pull the trigger on the Go Pro Hero2 camera and today is the day. West Marine has this camera in stock and it qualifies for the 15% off deal until midnight tonight with free shipping. Can't wait to try out this new toy.

 

[Studman]

Same here, saw the same deal and just had to get one, can't wait

She's really hot when you turn the volume down and play AC/DC.
