The GoPro Thread

[MudRunnerTD]

G'day guys.

Well Santa was kind and I scored a GoPro HERO3 Silver. Niiice!!

It seems that there are a few of us that have this great bit of kit and I think we need a thread for them.

Let's chat GoPro!

What do you like, any little tricks to help me with my toy?

Any decent links to eBay adds?

Anyone want to do a group buy of stuff out of USA and save some postage-???

Cheers MR

Would be interested in seeing any short movies that you guys have shot on your GoPros?? Maybe we need a GoPro Footage thread too?

This is going to be great!

Hmmm, I am working locally so might have to have another look tomorrow and see what the specs are on it??

I was out at the meetup on the weekend and used the Hero3 for the first time. pretty cool little jigger.

When using the windscreen mount i had to flip the camera and film upside down..... Thinking it would be an easy flip at the other end..... Kinda.

Here is a Link to the program you have to download from the GoPro Site and the instructions on how to flip it. take a little processing time and you are making a duplicate.

Here is a Great little You Tube video on using an internal Camera function to set your camera to Up or Upside Down! Much Much better!

Daz use your iPhone as a remote for the camera, download the gopro app and go from there. Read the instructions on the gopro booklet thing though because its a pain to set up

[MudRunnerTD]

A mate was saying the App is good but you have to set the thing up every time you use it and if you shut the App down or time out you have to go through the pair setup again.

He also said he liked the remote in the car and mounted it to the middle of the steering wheel for easy access. Still thinking of grabbing it.

I like the App instead of the LCD rear screen though? What are your thoughts on that?
