So the wife* bought and is sending me a GoPro 3+ Silver.
I know exactly nothing about this, but I know she wanted me to have a camera to take pictures of this deployment, the last one I only have like three pictures. So is there anything awesome I should have, and is there a sweet mount i should use? Also, thinking about when i get home, any ideas for a mount to put on a rail system for either a pistol or rifle? Is there anything i should know? thanks *in afghanistan, dont have any new wife pics, look through my old posts to see pictures |

I just bought one of these. Probably made at the GoPro factory.

is the battery life kind of crappy? I have a Hero 3+ Black. If you are running WiFi and doing a lot with it, the battery life can be a bit disappointing. I have ran mine all day, all sorts of vid's and pic, etc..and the battery lasted. Once you get used to it you'll know what is worth capturing with it and what is not. Also, take a look at the LCD back screen...and, FWIW, I think the best way to capture 'stills' is to take a 2-3 sec vid of highest framefrate then screen and crop. You have to have A TON of light and be very still for the still function to work. But with the video and a screen/ grab/ crop..you can capture some amazing pics. |

Don't forget to download their free video editing software. It's a lot better then when I first got mine. I'll have to check back into the the GoPro Stuido II, there were several things about I didn't like. I didn't like the need to convert first and some other requirements...Windows movie maker has been ok by me. |

Made my own, had everything on hand..Larue hand stop, screws, nuts, washers. TON of DIY stuff out there for GoPro..though I must say I was the first with the Larue hand stop

That is pretty good thinking. Do you have issues with it wanting to rotate downward? Or can you put enough torque on the fastener to keep it in place. I haven't tried any weapon mounts with my GoPro yet. Its still a dirtbike or handheld kind of thing. The most intriguing item for me on the Strikemark page is that molle mount. Easy way to integrate the cam, even with your mount. |
