It has the biggest vertical field of view with a 4:3 aspect ratio so you're less likely to cut off your head and feet.James Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380226220764974087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-17414997374578025072011-08-16T00:35:04.438-07:002011-08-16T00:35:04.438-07:00Hi James.

I used 720p, but hard to judge best angle to get feet, board and ideally head ;0) in frame..Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404581370350613407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-38150340150519083872011-08-09T16:49:43.526-07:002011-08-09T16:49:43.526-07:00Coming in a bit late on this...

It worked pretty well, except then there is the issue of attaching the attachment to the boom. I ended up using lines, which were totally a mistake. Very unstable and nearly lost the camera.<br />Great vids - much better than mine, at least so far ;-) The helmet and mast mounts make even a big Gorge day look pretty mellow.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905197536080035377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-91907758261002332912010-10-07T07:35:29.868-07:002010-10-07T07:35:29.868-07:00Henry- That's a very cool tips page you have t...Henry- That's a very cool tips page you have there!

I have made up a really solid Velcro strap for my safety line, which makes mounting the camera quicker. I have two cameras and use a top clue mount, but have had problems as you mention with camera shake on rough chop.<br /><br /><a href="http://riggeek.com/gear-head/2010-08-14-1" rel="nofollow">http://riggeek.com/gear-head/2010-08-14-1</a><br /><br />I also have one of those bike handle bar mounts which also works well. I am thinking of making a dedicated clue mount, the vented helmet strap doesn't fit my Chinook formula boom that well. I also took some photos of the silica crystal pouches I use to prevent the lens fogging up.<br /><br />As always I enjoy reading your posts. As you head into winter you must be missing Florida. All sunny down here and looking forward to ballistic winds predicted this weekend.<br /><br />-hHenry Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359889071502014366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-84429219148647544752010-10-06T14:31:33.152-07:002010-10-06T14:31:33.152-07:00Boris- Yeah, man!

The GoPro has a setting for upside down filming. It's called "upside down image capture" in the settings, and looks like "UPd" in the LCD windowBrian Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03503206054369731411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124426997314960696.post-34809110873305372662010-10-06T11:46:41.866-07:002010-10-06T11:46:41.866-07:00I gotta get one of those ProGo cams.I gotta get one of those ProGo cams.Boris Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109794946605173132noreply@blogger.com
