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!

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.

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.

Wanna go Motosurfin?......

[Goshawk]

^ some awesome shots in that ! (great soundtrack too)

[sunshine51]

^^^ 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....

[Goshawk]

^ 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

[sunshine51]

^^^ 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...

The GoPro does pretty good foible captures too....

[Goshawk]

Also sprach Zarathustra . . .

[sunshine51]

^^ GH..This is a much better version than the one I posted last month (post #63).

Great finale & a good find!

[sunshine51]

To me...this is brilliant....hope y'all enjoy it...

[sunshine51]

You're feeling lazy but your dog really needs exercise? Here's a solution...

[Goshawk]

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.

[sunshine51]

^^^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.

[Goshawk]

^ now i know where you got the idea for the 'soi dog' project . . .

[Goshawk]

^^ 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)

[sunshine51]

^^^ 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.

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)

[sunshine51]

^^^ Hah! Good one!

They need an agent first tho...

[sunshine51]

Left me skateboard at the skate park...just a short bike ride away...easy peasy right?...

[sunshine51]

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...

[sunshine51]

How about skydiving from 33,000 ft above Mt Blanc?

[rhythmworx]

Wow!!

It's been a while since I opened this thread, now I have I don't even know if I'm alive.

[kowpot]

Just ordered a GoPro Hero 3+ today. I need a hobby and hope this is something I can get into.

[sunshine51]

^^^ 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
