Boating video with my GoPro camera

[maxum2400sc]

So I just got the GoPro Hero 2 camera last week and I couldnt wait to try it out. I dropped the boat in and went for a cruise this past Sunday in the Delaware River. It was a tad chilly and windy, but all around a great last cruise. Check it out.

I shot the video in 1080p and it is super crisp, but I uploaded it onto youtube in standard resolution

Get the most advanced GoPro yet, GoPro HERO4

Nice vid and some sweet trailering skills getting in/out of the storage unit and ramp. What program did you use to edit the vid? I'm in the midst of making one right now using MS movie maker. It's ok, but a bit tedious.

Sweet! Looks like you almost lost the camera on that one swell you hit fairly hard. Would have like to have heard your through hull exhaust.

Re: Boating video with my GoPro camera

Thanks guys. KFA, I used MS video maker for this. It is pretty basic and I wouldn't mind the option to control te music a little better, but for a free software, it isn't too shabby. Hashi, I do tune the music down a little so you can hear the exhaust, I have the exhaust route through the hull and through the drive, so it is a little muffled.

Great job!! How long did it take you to edit? How was the camera mounted for the boat side shots? Well done.

Re: Boating video with my GoPro camera

Thanks guys. It is mounted with a suction cup mount, similar to a gpd mount. The mount is pretty robust. The camera also comes with a bunch of different mounts for different sports. I have about 2 hours in the editing

The mounts come as part of the camera purchase?

Cool video. I'm getting interested in one of these.

There are different option packs that you can get for different mounts. Some are packaged for mountain bikers, some for auto sports, etc... There are TONS of mounting options though. I'd be way too nervous to trust the suction cup by itself, I'd have a piece of monofilament wrapped around the base and secured in the boat!


I haven't had a chance to put my go pro on the boat yet, but I've done tons of mountain biking with it, I've also sent it up on my quadrotor drone for a couple spins around the neighborhood!

Re: Boating video with my GoPro camera

The motor sports package would probably work best for a boater. I have a float pack from a different camera that i used and a piece of string as backup lol. I was surprised at the strength of the suction cup though.

I am going moutain biking tonight with the camera, should make for a good video!!
