GoPro tips

hey guys, im sure a similar thead has been done before, but dad & i went halves in a go pro hero2 the other day. we got the motorsport edition for the boat because we worked out it would be cheaper to buy a chest or head mount as an accesory, than the suction mount. anyways, i mainly wade around the shallows at toolondo casting lures and flies for trout, and was wondering what accesories should i get and how should i set it up?

cheers Lachie

well a good start is a 32gig memory card and a spare battery....that really all i have so far but am getting a tripod mount and a camera boom for my kayak pretty soon. look forward to seeing sum vids

32GB card, class 6 or higher, spare battery, record on second lowest resolution (720p), get a chesty and a head strap (i still need to get a chesty)

i might get the floaty backpack for it just in case i drop it and it goes for an out-of-reach swim

with the 32GB and the 720p res you'll get 8 hours of recording... but will only get approx 2-3 hours from the battery (thats why i have 5 all up)

I like the head mount & would recommend it for sure.
As others have said some spare batteries are also very helpful.
