Sorry Nate YouTube is your friend, dumb the footage down like The King says no difference at 720 here on your LCD TV but it’s a huge difference

May 26, 2012 at 9:37 pm #215562On a recent ride I lost my GoPro in the bush. Normally whenever I feel it hit something I reach up to check but on this occasion I had not hit any branches but it was gone. On close inspection the mount had cracked and released the camera. As hard as Corey, Nick and myself tried to find it, it was gone.
New GoPro arrived this week and I have made a tether for it so this cannot happen again.
My helmet (Fox V2) has front ports that a small cable tie can fit through perfectly. I used this as the base anchor point and then tied up some strong cord the way you do to hold your leg rope to your board.
I looped the camera through that and secured the other end to the hinge pin on the back of the GoPro housing.
I also mounted the optional rubber bracket plug (white insert) so it can not release accidentally.To remove the camera I have just enough slack so that I cant feed the camera back through the loop in the leash when I want to remove it and all I am left with is the standard mount and a small cable tie through he vent.
Hopefully saves some one else from an unnecessarily expensive trail ride.

May 26, 2012 at 9:45 pm #222673Another thing I forgot to mention and have learnt the hard way that the GoPro mounting brackets become brittle over time. Mine had been on there for two years so I suggest replacing the mount every year as they are exposed and do take a beating.

July 23, 2012 at 1:45 pm #226012Scotty, you might want to run the cord with a little more slack so you can stick it to your helmet. With the current way it’s set-up you have a big hole a branch or lantana can poke through and pull your head off! If you ran the cord taped to the helmet and a loose zip tie around the cord where it’s next to the camera base you would reduce the chances of it getting snagged.
Good idea though, you don’t want to be losing HD camera’s every couple of months!
What video editing software do you run on the Mac?

iMovie is preinstalled and is a great basic editor.

October 30, 2013 at 6:09 am #215565In the quest to get the best possible images out of my GoPro I did an experiment. The results speak for themselves.

October 30, 2013 at 6:14 am #215566Spud I can honestly say they work

You can even dry them out in the oven and re use them although I confess I haven’t done this yetOctober 30, 2013 at 6:24 am #251180Your a legend STM.
Been thinking I should get a GoPro. But my Drift is doing fine. -
