Has anyone come across a silver go pro 3 this morning/Arvo (Sunday) at Scabs? Little brother lost his Christmas present from the fiancée. Sounds like it should still have the mount attached as it broke off. Cheers.
Unfortunately not, little sister bought him the floating back for Christmas but hadn't gotten around to giving it to him, and because he knew he wa getting one he didn't buy one himself. He was spewing because he'd gotten footage a couple of good ones too.
It's a bit late now, but you should always have a tether on it. I have a piece of string (stringline - brickies use) that I tie the camera off (at the hinge) and the sail or boom when I use it for windsurfing. I have had it come off a few times when wiping out and it was still there attached near the rig. It's like it's own legrope.
I guess lossing a camera is a pisser, but it's the footage that hurts the most especially if you got something good.
Don't worry about it just go buy another one
Problem solved.
The footage ......better luck next time
Maybe try the clubies if it was on the weekend. Their usually a fairly honest bunch.
