What else can you do with a gopro?

 I bought a gopro like most of us with them to shove on the front of a multirotor, but you can do so much other cool stuff with them as well :smiley:

Like chuck water balloons at them!  I filmed this at 120 fps and extracted the individual pictures from the video and made this silly gif!! (turning it into a gif makes it look weird)



I';ve also had it in the local river filming sticklebacks and rock pools down the beach.

What else do you all do with yours?

Yeh very good JT like it, I';ve had mine in rock pools too and dangling from a kite, before I found Multi Rotors :)

It';s good for time lapse photography......

I stuck mine on an egg timer (the type that unwind and rotate 360 degrees) and got some great time lapse on my street from my Balcony......

I';ve just come back from Corfu where I took my new GoPro down 21 meters with me on a dive.  Usually I only take stills with my Cannon compact in its pukka dive case - good for 40M.  Amazingly the GoPro is good for 60M, well beyond my certification.

I picked up an amazing kit of mounts "GoPro Hero Mounting Kit" for £19.99 on eBay also - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271229280112?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I';ve not mounted it to a quad yet - don';t trust my flying skills enough just at this moment.  :smiley:

 For some reason that video makes me want to be a hula hoop....... :tongue:

bongo

nice videos guys, timelapse is a great feature

a friend of mine has tied his gopro to the end of a fishing line, just above the hook, he can then see what fish are down there and how they respond to his bait

i can seriously recommend one of these clamps http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-Bike-Bicycle-Handlebar-Handle-Bar-Camera-GoPro-Mount-Tripod-Screw-Nut-/171053103710?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27d38f3a5e

£9 posted! how can you go wrong? i bought two at that price, very sturdy, able to cope with some fairly rough travel, very versatile in where you can mount it and in what position

I do worry a lot about those contra-flow cycle lanes. The van driver was looking to his right, didn';t even think to look left and see you approaching.   That said, I ride a m/c daily to London from Kent and face similar problems with drivers pulling out.  A mate of mine videos a lot of it - toe curling stuff to watch!

Maybe we should run follow-me drones, but set up to "follow from the front" (a bit like German Shepherds do  :laugh: ), with rocket launchers, and steel spikes  :laugh: :laugh:

More forgiving than me - I would have hammered on the side of his van!
