GoPro Movies

[The Goodwins]

So we have had the GoPro for a while and I finally decided to start learning to use the software properly.

Here is my first effort.

I have used Vimeo which is directly referenced along with YouTube on the GoPro software.

So latest GoPro based purchases...

I am OCD so actually found a set of GoPro mounts in white to fit to the Expanda. Including shipping and all items in the picture x 2 was $8.56

One for each end of the van. These are the curved ones so should sit nicely on the curve at the van front and rear.

I also decided to add a tether particularly for the Prado as I have under body mounts.

This one is wire with a loop. Price including the above and shipping was $2.86

So I have finished fitting all my mounts to the Prado. The van will be next just waiting to get it back from repairs.

I have utilised underneath, on top and inside the Prado for my mounts. The thing I have found with the whole GoPro thing is multiple andgles and locations with high quality video.

Mounts are;

Top rear on the Rhino Platform

Top front Rhino Platform

Underneath factory towbar

Underneath TJM Bar front

Interior Dash Mount

Are you worried about the tape ever letting go @The Goodwins ? I would be petrified especially the one in front of the tyre!

Not really @Bmhdg76 I have a wire tether for the underside and the 3m tape actually requires a hair dryer and wipes to remove it without taking the vehicle with you. On top of that I bought it to give it a go so we will se what happens. I will post some of my raw test footage for people to see.

 

[The Goodwins]

So here are the test mounting on the same mount. Found I got a lot of wind noise (Generally it is obscured by a soundtrack but interesting) on the rear facing setup

Front facing

Rear facing

It gives a good idea of the stability and picture quality. This was all controlled from inside the car on my IPhone 6 using the GoPro App.

Soon it will be testing of the under vehicle mounts and the Van mounts.

 

[Dobbie]

you can now get a job with Google maps!

It looks very stable....have you tried a speed bump yet?

Hope not while driving

Does look good and stable though. Looking forward to the underneath videos when offroad!

 

[The Goodwins]

Underneath and front mounted testing complete. I have done it to be educated for doing van and off road movies. I'll post the testing soon.

White GoPro Mounts have arrived and I spent some time fitting them...I know choosing white is a little OCD........LOL

Front Passengers side views

Rear Drivers side Mount. I plan to use this on some occasions as a reversing aid.

And down the side view

Looking forward to doing some filming!

Got some great ideas from GoPro YouTube post so have a few ideas. One of the fathers at soccer recently did some videos and pictures with something I had seen in the he shop but never seen in the field or used for that matter.......

Hmmmm.... Loving this!
