re: I hate my GoPro

I have the Hero 2. I used to wear it on my head every time I went out with the hawk. But, I've gotten to where I usually don't bother. It's rare that the action is close enough to even be visible on a gopro. And, as an amateur photographer, I'm sort of a stickler for doing things right. I feel like I'm using the wrong tool for the job. I guess it's better than trying to run around in the woods with a $20,000 camera on my shoulder, but the video I get with mine is just lackluster most of the time. It's probably due mostly to the fact that it's just strapped on my head while I'm actively moving around and turning my head, not focused on videoing the action.

Long story, but I put it on what I thought was just a little plate on ChadJones' kitchen counter. Turns out it was one of those Sensi candels with the scented wax. Needless to say, it basically melted my GoPro from the inside out. Super glued it all back together and worked surprisingly, but was at the camp aggravated with it so I threw it up in the air and shot it .

I have a Sony and use Windows Movie Maker. The GP software crashed constantly. I don't like how far everything looks. I have used it goose hunting and the birds look way out of range, when most were inside 35 yards. Feb 2015 Goose Hunt

sweet video, if you set your camera mode to Low, it makes things look a little closer

I am not sure the Sony has that setting. I have been playing with it for a while. I will take a look.

Editing is a giant pain in the arse. Makes me not even want to fool with it, plus the battery only lasts an hour and a half and I hate taking the time to switch it out while I'm hunting or fishing.

My 8 year old can make GoPro videos and put them on youtube.

This solves all you battery issues:

Plug it in to your cigarette lighter plug in the boat or you can use a battery pack like this:

As far as editing, it does suck and the GOPRO Studio was crashing my computer. I realized I was doing to much at a time (converting files). Now I do 3 at a time and then clear with great success. I'm definitely not a pro but I learn a little something each time.
Edit:
They also make this for a boat that i am waiting to come out or I may attempt to make my own. Seems pretty easy to do.

I say the same thing every time someone comes on hear and asks. shite got old quick. PITA for the most part. I found myself worried more about getting to shot than taking the shot........

That was before I shot it. It was brand new about 2 hours before that picture.
