GoPro Tips Tricks Q & A

[GregAndrew]

At the lower resolutions you will not be able to view it as clearly on larger screens.

Don't buy the cheapest memory out there, you will end up regretting it. Go with a Name Brand like Kingston. Lost a lot of good footage on a cheap card that would not record properly on sunny days.

Although they are cheap to replace, the lenses scratch fairly easily so I keep my camera in a soft bag.

The GoPro and GoPro 2 can be set up for "One Button On" which can help out a lot if you do not intend to change to the different modes.

Be prepared to spend a lot of time producing your final products, especially with longer videos.

Nice, Art Laboe and a GoPro demo. Post a pic of your camera mount.

I took a few snap shots of my dogs with my GoPro. I used the 10FPS option, its amazing how well it works. You'll need a class 10 card for this.

Here's a great deal on Amazon.
"Wasabi" battery charger and AC adapter for GoPro with two extra batteries and a car adapter for $22.
I did some fun dog shots by mounting the GoPro on my Lab's doggie/pfd...an extendable painters pole also enables me to get out or up and away from the subject for some interesting angles. The tripod mount with the 1/4-20 female thread is my favorite way to mount the GoPro just about anywhere. There are a lot of small c-clamp type camera mounts that you can find at sporting good stores or photo shops that can thread right onto the tripod mount.

Put rainx on the outside of the mount (It's rare to get water on it when it high up, but you won't regret it when you do)

Invest the few extra $$ and put the fog inserts in.

I shoot in r4 for the best vertical coverage. Especially when I surf.

Turn on "1 Click record feature"

Buy the "Grab bag" of mounts. It makes things a little more fun when you can put it in a bunch of different place.

Here's how I had mine on my Malibu.

Not sure how many of your use the GoPro Cineform Studio software but I just connected my camera found a firmware update.

What brand memory card are people using for their GoPro?

Storage? Class?

I've been playing around with the different features on my GoPro, I wanted to try making a video of a fishing trip using still pictures instead of full video. To test out this feature I mounted my GoPro on the dash of my car using double-sided tape(the mount is the same piece that the GoPro is attached to in the box) and set the camera to take a picture every two seconds. I downloaded the pictures to Windows Movie Maker and also downloaded a plug-in that allows me to convert movies and pictures to HD format, this isn't normally available in Windows Movie Maker. Anyway, this is what I got.........
