April 13, 201510 yr Oops! I swapped my usual waterproof GoPro Hero 2 back for one with holes for some bike and skateboard videos. Yesterday took it out for Songkran and now it doesn't work. Yep.... forgot to swap the back door! Doh! Hairdryer and dry rice has not revived it. Good excuse to buy a Hero 4!
April 18, 201510 yr I think GoPro product planning may have been a bit off. Trying to buy a Hero 4 Silver and all shops in Bangkok have sold out. But the 4 Black is available everywhere.
April 25, 201510 yr Author Whether you believe in it or not climate change is here. After living in SEA for over 40 years I reckon it is hotter nowadays than when I first arrived, in fact I know it's hotter. The wet-dry seasons do not happen like clockwork as they used to. Farmers are having trying times growing crops that were easy "in the old days" to plant & grow. Potable water is becoming scarce in many regions of the world as are staple food sources. I have my reasons to support my observations concerning climate change and it's not odd that some scientists & researchers also support my observations and findings as these folks believe in the same root cause. The results of this root cause are exponentially increasing daily and there seems to be no end in sight or means to stop the increase...let alone how to slow it down. The root cause is scary indeed and has serious consequences for the future of the human race...and for this planet. But instead of spoiling everybody's day by hacking a long drawn out thesis or by simply posting the thesis I wrote 10 years ago...let's watch a neat GoPro video instead OK! If anybody is interested in my findings PM me. I'm happy to share.
May 16, 201510 yr Author ^^^ GH...That soi dog movie I really wanted to do is dashed for the forseeable future since the town council rounded up most all the mutts a couple months ago. looks like we gitta wait till more strays come outta hiding or...go somewhere ekse & make friends with a new pack. Yeah...the motosurf movie does have decent music....
May 16, 201510 yr ^ pity about the dogs . . . was a good idea. Hey whatever happened to Walter the Lab? . . . this one's got some funky music too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrDmDu75Tt8
May 16, 201510 yr Author ^^^ GH...Gives a new meaning to Mangione's Feels So Good eh! I have no idea where Walter the Lab went so I went and had a google and found the first vdo.... For the members who have never seen Walter the lab...here he is!!!! Then I found the second one... Gotta swim...gotta swim...gotta swim...
May 25, 201510 yr Author ^^ GH..This is a much better version than the one I posted last month (post #63). Great finale & a good find!
May 25, 201510 yr Author You're feeling lazy but your dog really needs exercise? Here's a solution...
May 25, 201510 yr To me...this is brilliant....hope y'all enjoy it... very cool . . . that's about the only (tame/trained) bird i can think of where it would 'work' (and it does) to get that good a view/perspective . . . thanks to the huge bill, of course.
May 26, 201510 yr Author ^^^GH...I wonder how much GoPro charges for their pelican bill camera mount?! There's some good GP vids out there with the cameras mounted on vultures & large eagles but the pelican one was pretty smooth.
May 26, 201510 yr ^^ just watching that pelican vid again . . . have to say, it's one of the most beautiful short films i've ever seen. (slight tear in eye)
May 27, 201510 yr Author ^^^ I feel the same way;.a simply lovely, smooth video.... and the pelican returns too. My first thought when watching was bye-bye camera & the guy has to locate the bird....but no...the bird's a pet & returned home after its flight. Sure would have been interesting if it had seen some fish but perhaps that's wishing a bit too much.
May 28, 201510 yr That Pelican is pretty much unbeatable when it comes to awesome bird vids on the web . . . . however, today i found this pair of cute burrowing Owls that definitely forged a very slight smile on my usually rigid & rusted up chops.... They're not in the same league as Percy Pelican, but i feel they may have a prosperous future on celluloid...(once they get a decent choreographer)
May 31, 201510 yr Author Left me skateboard at the skate park...just a short bike ride away...easy peasy right?...
June 6, 201510 yr Author Chasing Waterfalls. Yes...there actually are people this crazy. If I was younger...I'd be one of them too.... ...make sure you watch this in HD...
June 13, 201510 yr Wow!! It's been a while since I opened this thread, now I have I don't even know if I'm alive.
June 14, 201510 yr Just ordered a GoPro Hero 3+ today. I need a hobby and hope this is something I can get into.
June 14, 201510 yr Author ^^^ Kowpot...GP's can be used anywhere you desire and the results are excellent. Just use your imagination! A GP will fit nicely... Have Fun
