What GoPro, including best connectors & accessories etc. should I get for filming our sailing on the 29er, along with a small amount of 49er, 200 and firefly sailing? (Along with perhaps some skiing, although not necessarily). I have looked but there seems to be lots of options that I'm not sure are actually needed. If nothing else, what does anybody else have? And lastly, what about this? http://sailprocameras.com/Sail_Pro_Sailing.html - http://sailprocameras.com/Sail_Pro_Sailing.html Cheers  ------------- Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club RS800 1128 kindly sponsored by http://www.rwo-marine.com" rel="nofollow - RWO Marine |

hero 2 is best option as it can record in 24fps which is the uk tv standard. I'd make your own mount, as every boat is going to need a different mounting system.

All of them can record in 24fps. The Hero2 will also do 60fps and 120fps for incredibly good slow motion. If you can afford it- Hero 2. I have the cheapest version- the 960 whivh suits me fine. FB me seb if you want to ask about it. ------------- |

I have the Hero2, was bought for me at Christmas and have used it twice so far, once on my mountain bike recording at 1080 video which is great but you need a powerful computer to edit it. I also did pictures at 11Mp every second. They were great at Center Parcs, very impressed. I mounted the GoPro to one of the Centre Feva's we took to Island Barn last weekend, I havent edited it yet but I shot that at 960, it looks great. The mounts are the most expensive part, I have the outdoor edition (the mount options change between Hero 1 and Hero2. At the weekend 3 GoPros were mounted in 3 different ways. One used the Roll Bar mount to the boom, another used the sticky pad to the Boom and reinforced with Duct Tape, i used the handlebar mount, mounted to a short pole and tied to the tiller arm. Once thing I note from reading the Facebook GoPro site is to teather the camera wherever you put it. Do not rely on any of the mounts. The best option is to use rope and duct tape to make sure it isnt going anywhere. When I get a chance, more videos will be edited/uploaded. ------------- |

Just bought a Hero 960, arrived in the post this morning. Looks like a good quality bit of kit so I am very happy to pay £160 for it. The mountings look pretty safe, especially with the little white lock that goes into the quick release bases. Thinking of using a roll cage or handlebar/seatpost mount for yachting videos and undecided on what to use for dinghy videos yet. Are the mountings compatible with both the Hero and Hero 2 because reading above it sounds like they arent? I always assumed they were... ------------- |

Yes the mounts are interchangeable between v1 and v2. I personally use the handle bar mount to attach it to a 25mm aluminium pipe (TV Aerial mount from B&Q) and then duct tape this to the end of the boom I have also spliced a length of dyneema around the mount bolt so it can be tethered to the boat. I would also recommend the 'floaty' back door. Bright orange and stops the camera sinking. I lost my first one when it go knocked off the boom. The tether saved if but when I tried to remove the tether I dropped it!!! ------------- |

My GoPro HD Hero 2 arrived i the post the other day and got to test it out today on an SB3 on Southampton water. Very impressed by it. I ordered the Motorsports Hero package so i can use the suction mount for the foredeck on the 600, but today i was using the Head Strap Mount (bought separately) which is pretty good for POV filming. Here are a couple of screen shots ive grabbed:   ------------- |

960 can take a mean photo too.  Most of my videos only ever end up on Youtube so 720 (or 960) is more than enough.

| I find the mountain bike helmet mount to be pretty useful for attaching to the boom, mast, kingpost or spreader bracket though you definitely need to tether the camera as the nylon webbing buckles on the mount can let go rather easily. |

I had a HD Hero for nigh on 2 years and now got the Hero 2. Agree with the vented helmet strap mount being the best way to attach (plus lots of electrical tape to stop the mount slipping). I've got a line of 2mm dyneema through the gap between the door and bar that acts as a hinge. Only once has the mount slipped from the boom on the 4000, and the tether held it through a few gybes with a nice crack. I've never used an extension, just gone with the end of the boom and 960 resolution. If I were buying one now, I'd probably save the cash and get the 960, 960p or 720 if you're insistent on widescreen. It's plenty enough, 1080p isn't worth it on the HD Hero as the viewing angle is too narrow, the Hero2 is great, but I fear the day that it floats away, it'd hurt quite a lot less if it was a 960!

I use the tripod mount and then have several different way to attach it to the boat First one is attached about 1m off the stern using a windsurf batten (carbon pole) to give it stiffeness I made a set of acrylic spreaders(5mm) so that it did not interfere with the image. As you can see there is quite a lot of bend in the carbon pole(ref picture on the day we broke our mast!) the pole is just drilled into a T-section of wood that hangs on the stern (tied down with 1.5mm dyneema). For the mast mount I again use the camera mount bracket but this time it is mounted on a cut away windsurf cam inducer(sorry no pic) this is then tied through the mast at the holes for the hounds of the shrouds. Recommend always tying on the camera in addition.  boom  stern attachment  Mast mount (windsurf Cam inducer view)  Can't remember what sort of threaded bolts you use to attach the tripod mount but they are not Metric! 1/4 UF or something like that . I use Serif Movie plus X5 video editing software (not free but you can bargain then down to about £50) Can do everything that adobe premier (blue screening etc) as is way more advanced than windows moviemaker and imovie.  You get a better view off the bow if you put a small bowsprit on ( this was done with an old camera (not wide angle) using a 1m old tiller extension bent at the end with the camera held on with good old electrical tape!  ------------- N12- pure joy D-Zero more pure joy |

movie editors....
Mac - iMovie Linux - kdenlive Windows - movie maker is very basic and if you want any more control you'll need to buy something like premier elements or Sony vegas. I've not found a decent free editor on windows and I've searched a lot so if anyone knows of one please let me know, and I don't consider movie maker that good, I don't like the storyboard method. you can download trials of premier I think ------------- Everything I say is my opinion, honest |

Editing software I am using Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium which is awesome- it's fairly tricky t use at first but very powerful. I was given a licence by my college so might you be able to do the same seb? (If not it is v expensive so I wouldn't worry!) If not, I have a copy of Adobe Premier Elements 7 (inc guide book) that I'm no longer using going for not much money at all if you want it. PM me if you do. I will de-activate it and uninstall and give you the licence if you want. ------------- |

Ive got Adobe Premier Pro CS4 and its a very good program, but you need a powerful computer to be able to use it. Ive got 4GB RAM and it still crashes every time I do even the simplest thing. I just get my friend to do my editing now as he has one of the new Macs with Final Cut, iMovie and 12GB RAM to run it with. Apple is much better than windows! ------------- |

just thought, there is a very good free editor called Lightworks which is top drawer pro stuff if you can work out how to use it, and as I said it is free. It recommends that you have 4gb ram but I have had it running on 2gb. I normally use ubuntu which is why I forgot about it.
Salty, a 12gb Mac system probably is going to be better than a 4gb windows system for video editting, but factoring in the price of that sort of Mac along with final cut is going to be in the thousands, kinda out of reach for most people. Doesn't make it better if you can't afford to use it. ------------- Everything I say is my opinion, honest |
Posted By: shadeux
Date Posted: 09 Feb 12 at 7:04pm
I suspect your problem lies elsewhere. I've used Adobe CS5 on my laptop with 4GB RAM without problems. The Mac vs Windows argument is misleading. Editing programmes designed to run on Windows platform (eg Grass Valley Edius, CS5) work just as well as FCP on a Mac. I've worked with most NLEs and they all largely do the same thing and they all have their quirks. You just get used to working on one particular system. I hear that Apple's new generation of FCP is squarely aimed at a more consumer market so if you are thinking of spending some money (and you are a Mac user), it may be worth waiting to see what arrives on Blighty's shores later this year. PS I use Edius all the time now because it really does live up to their claim to 'edit anything' including GoPro files. ------------- Bruce Shadow002 |

now I've got to my computer and able to look things up, Lightworks in in beta stage but is reasonably stable as far as I can tell. You need to register to download it. The grabs of the gui seem to show something comparable to the other stuff mentioned and theres no reason why it shouldn't be brilliant if the website claims are proved to be true. It says that the pro version has been used on hollywood films so the suggestion is that there is plenty enough features for everyone. Although its windows at the moment they are apparently working on a mac and linux version. I'd just like to say at this point I don't work for them nor have I used it extensively but it does appear to be very powerful for open source software meaning that you don't need to spend a fortune to use good software ------------- Everything I say is my opinion, honest |

A warning lesson from me on how not to attach your gopro to your boat. After reading a few threads I took the advice of attaching a leash to the case handle on my gopro and the camera was attached to my boat with a Manfrotto Superclamp (complete overkill) unfortunately something went wrong and the clamp came off the rack, either through impact from another dinghy's boom or from water pressure as it was getting dunked. Either way, once it was detached from the boat it simply ripped the handle off of the case. If anyone wants a free gopro there's one at the bottom of Foremark Reservoir. Slightly waterlogged but with some epic footage on the card.

I drilled a 2mm hole on the clear case close to the hinge and put a bit of 1.5mm kite (the flying kind) line which is solid dyneema through it to create a loop onto which I spliced/ cow hitch a longer bit of 2.5mm D12 Dyneema that I lash to the boat. I haven't broken a mounting yet but know that if I did the camera will not be lost.

Funny you should mention that. This is my 2nd GoPro. The first was knocked off the boom but saved by the tether.

DOH  I have been trying to mount the gopro on my 100 since getting it back on the water. Last night i got some decent footage with it mounted on the tiller but it is mainly a view of the cockpit. Upwind you can see the horizon in front of the boat from time to time but downwind the bow is so high that you just see the odd wave crash over the wings. Any ideas? I want to make a proper transom A-frame or something but dont really know how to mount it without drilling holes. I havent yet bought a handlebar mount type fitting so last night it was on the head cam mount lashed to the tiller with lots of tape! Seemed to work quite well and I will probably do the same for the quarter tonner when that goes back in the water. Saves spending more cash on the handlebar mount. ------------- |

I have a rope tied round the top part of the hinge and a bit of whipping twine through the metal hinde on the back of the gopro, all is tied and taped so the knots cant come undone. Mine is a massive overkill of rope etc but whatever I do, it will be tied to the boat by some means. I'll take a picture of it and upload it. I think we need a "Go Pro Boat mounting" thread with pics of how we mount to our boats. The "super duper clamp that costs £60 the RYA provide to its staff, I have seen that break, the suction mounts break too on the suction pad. Wherever it is mounted it will be teathered/duck taped etc. ------------- |

Good advice and like the idea of a new thread. Over the years we have installed minicams in sorts of hostile environments from fast jets to race cars and I would never rely purely on the mount. Whipping twine is good because of its strength and it fits through the GoPro hinge. ------------- Bruce Shadow002 |

Date Posted: 01 Jun 12 at 10:58am
The RS100 looks a tricky one. If you mount it on the boom I guess the rake is so much that all you look at is the cockpit floor and if you angle the camera up you just get a nice picture of the boom. How far back do you sit in it? Could you mount a suction pad to the top deck/wing at the back? ------------- Successfully confusing ambition with ability since 1980. |

Yes but the 100 has the mainsheet where this is mounted. Also suction onto deck grip just wont work! Thinking I might dig out an old carbon tiller extension, probably from my old 700 and mount the camera to that and attach to the boom. I would rather have it fixed to the hull so the footage is more steady though! ------------- |

I agree, my idea is to build up footage over the summer and make one final video. A mixture of head cam, boom cam, tiller cam etc. Some footage from the foredeck facing backwards and forwards too. Its pretty easy to turn a go pro round on the sticky mounts. ------------- |

On my travels I was lucky enough to find the GoPro Hero 2 Outdoors edition being sold at a VERY good price
- so I bought 3 and made myself most unpopular with SWMBO! Also got the video screen backpack @$70!!!! Used them for the 1st time on the boy's laser; top of mast looking down using the roll-cage clamp, another on the end of the boom, and the 3rd on the bow looking aft. Absolutely brilliant shots, all done at 960 and 48fps so I can get some great slo-mo done. Most effective (and unusual) shots were with the GoPro attached to the end of a windsurf mast, camera looking sideways. From the end of the jetty, the boy could plane across with cam at water level then lifted up to go over his head. Also shots from underwater at hull etc. Later I used the cam facing forwards on the windsurfer mast, holding it like a lance as I chased him round the lake in a Jaffa. Holding the mast half way down its length damped out all the shakes and I could get right in close for some great angles. Adjusted the amera to look down at about 30deg, and by raising the mast while chasing him I got some "filmed from a helicopter" shots, that worked really well. Not started editing yet, but will link up the results when finished. Very happy. ------------- |
