hmmm several times in that footage i saw a reddish dot on the snow.  doesn’t contour use a laser for shot alignment?

edit: from his shadow it looks like he is wearing a gopro.  not sure where the red dot is coming from

It’s a purple dot, that ya sometimes get along with vertical purple lines!!!!! The first time I had them in my footage I thought that there was somethin wrong with the camera, but apparently it’s a common thing!!!!!

Somethin to do with the sun/moisture/lens/sensor????? Can’t really remember, but it’s no biggy from my opinion anyway!!!!!

ah ok, well there goes my conspiracy theory!

GoPro2 retails for $399
Drift HD - $399
Drift HDstealth - $269
You should be able bargain those prices down a fair bit as per the deal I’ve offered on the DriftHD. Getting 15%-25% off isn’t an unreasonable ask.

I paid 325€ for my gopro, free delivery
and I you probably can if you buy 10 of them at once or if you are a retailer(I guess that’s what you are spaz?)

Im just ordering some GoPro mounts now, I want to go diving (and/or spear fishing) with it, i was going to get the wrist strap for that, but it looks like the camera would face at right angles to my arm?

Can you rotate the camera so i looks down my arm past my hand? any other mounting options for diving?

This mount was just your basic flat adhesive mount, will post vids when I start to spear next week

I am also looking at getting a monopod so I can stick the camera in places where I dont want to get to close to underwater. Any suggestions for a good gopro monopod?

That looks so badass haha, i dont have a spear gun but, i use a giji, was thinking of a mount on me or on my spear hand, or i may just buy a spear gun and do it properly tongue laugh haha


That could work…..

you could use the head mount thingy http://gopro.com/camera-mounts/head-strap-mount/ its what I will use when not spearing I would say
