Hey giz I'm also on the look for a camera ...why this one and not the go pro .?is it the price or better pics .?
Will have to keep you posted Tardy........there was the go pro hero 4 basic that snapped off its mounting.....there was that cameras partner where the go pro camera case latch came "unlatched" in biggish waves. There was also my go pro silver where the hatch came undone. Would recommend cable ties to ensure your go pro does not do an oops.
This one has a really good underwater case (about 70 metres)
Maybe it will fog up in cold water.......haven't done the research.
But sick of drowning go pros. Think they okay for hanging off mountainsides and snowboarding.....but the underwater cases not really up to coping with large wave impacts
Ok thanks..sounds like you've lost a few .bugger.dont have trouble with cold water ...18.5 and rising. Maybe if I go ,go pro. Chest mount .
or make up its own leg rope ..miniature size.drill a small whole in the case ..and tie it ...with piece of down haul rope .if I buy ..I ain't loosing it
famous last words ...ha .
i need to take some footage of this wave that breaks ,starts off as a right hander point break ,then turns into a left hander after meeting up with the left hand reef .sic.long ride.backhand and forehand .4-5 ft. The left barrels .
