Title: Go Pro
Post by: jaspr1 on March 13, 2017, 06:27:28 AM
Who has a Go Pro or similar camera and how would you rate it?   I was thinking about picking one up to record the Adventures of Jaspr and Goose and other PPHA  events...Timmy eating his 1st bowl of oatmeal... 8)

Nap? I think that was another thread.
Goose, still coming down heavy. Snowing sideways now. Suppose to stop around 7pm-8pm.
Hard to tell depth with settling and high winds.

Snowed until 7PM last night.  We got 19" of the white stuff.  This might dampen my coyote hunting.

Lol.  I can see him laying out a trail of brownies across the driveway so she shovels the whole thing and not just a path for the home to pick him up. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm alittle late to the party and not sure what we are talking about now but I have a ion pro 3 and it works pretty well. It's water proof without a extra case, I haven't tested that, and has wifi you can control from your phone. I have used it at night to film fox hunts and you can see pretty good with the gun light on a fox.

I have the gopro 4 black. Great for close work video but not good anything very far away. Even closet stuff looks farther away then it really is.
But I do like the whyfi part for watching what I am recording.

Bigcat says:"I'm alittle late to the party and not sure what we are talking about now" BW says:"Even closet stuff looks farther away then it really is."..............I am never ever,ever going to ask for advice on here again  :-\ :-\  Like Bigcat I am not sure what BW is doing in a closet with a go pro and I don't want to know  :o :o :o :o BW might need a ZOOM lens on his Go Pro but let's not go there  :P :P :P :P :P :P I have decided to not get one as I don't wish to film my exploits and have someone on here steal the techniques and make a million.... :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X........................... 8)

This is a set up I have been trying..a recoil reducing zoomable camera mount conceived by a friend of mine, Alex in Missouri..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmzORZ8kr7I

here is a compilation of kills using it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_HXax4JUao&t=131s

I have gotten footage with it at night too and it works well.
Alex shoots an AR10 in .308 so it has no issue with the calibers I used it with like .17, .204 or the 22-250 its currently on.

I have a GoPro 3 and used it for night hunts only ever getting eyes occasionally.
I just joined Tactacam as a team member and picked up they're 4.0 version of camera, it has a zoom option and blows the competition out of the water on video quality.
There is a very good comparison video on YouTube of Tactacam vs all competition, once you watch that video I hope you make a better decision than buying a GoPro for your hunts.
