I bought a kit on Amazon for about $30 that came with all types of different clamps, straps, etc.First time really editing a video, I used iMovie on my phone this morning to do it real quick. I need to put some music in my phone, I movie doesn't have a whole lot to choose from
I am really impressed with this camera for the price I paid for it. I bought a floatie handle for $6 and one of those super clamps that will clamp around my tower, that's what it is mounted with for all the driving video. The clamp with GoPro stamped on it is like $40, I got the exact same thing for $11 I think, just doesn't have the name on it.
I worried about that too. We also had a float on the camera so we wouldn't lose it.Great mount idea, will try that next time out. I hope that tether is strong if breaks when being dragged behind the boat after the wipeout!
I have a 3+ Silver and like it. But if I had to buy one today, hands down it would be the 4 Silver. The picture quality will be perfect for what you want to do with it and it has a screen so you can see what you are taking pictures of. The biggest problem with the 3+ that o have now is unless you are hooked up to wifi on your phone (which is kind of a pain in the butt) you don't know exactly what you are filming.
They sell an LCD adapter that mounts to the back of my Hero 3+. I want to say it was called BacPac or something like that. Makes it easier for filming and is an alternative to jumping to the Hero 4. Mine came as a package at basically the same price point as the others Hero 3+. You will need the extended back plates for the cases as well but I think those came in the kit as well.I started off with a Hero 3 White. My first GoPro and it's what got my foot in the door. Wife bought me a Hero 4+ Silver for my birthday shortly after they came out. But because I had extra batteries/cases for the Hero 3, I exchanged it for the Hero 3+Silver. Hero 3+ Silver well worth it and I'm very happy. Hero 4 Silver would be a great buy too, because it has the LCD screen on the back.
