GoPro now offers a Floaty Back Door. Good for those of us that have lost a camera in the surf...

Yes, I would really enjoy watching you duck gybe from your viewpoint to get my duck timing accurate :roll:
Plus, seeing the perspective of anyone looping would be great to watch :D 8)

Drift HD Camera

Post by KC7777 »

Hi,

Been thinking of getting a GoPro. One of my university student's Dad supposedly has the rights for the Drift HD camera for Canada (I think they had the GoPro rights but lost them, so are now selling these Drifts). Looks like it works pretty good on a wakeboard?

Anyone heard of these Drift cameras:

Thanks,

Keith

The remote control feature would be brilliant for windsurfing. Mount on the boom, and snap shots. hmm... two remotes, one for each boom arm.

fly mount

Post by iamvwman »

Just picked up a Fly Mount for my Gopro. Much better for boom and mast mounting than any of the Gopro mounts. Super easy to use not cheap though.

Yeah, I've watched it twice so far - that is a good mount, doesn't get boring (of course perfect waves, should we rig 5.0 or 4.7 today, whats a 5/3?). Well done, maybe even more entertainig than my cows one.

The GoPro HD Hero 2 Outdoor Edition is going on sale on thryll.com at 8am tomorrow (for a good deal I assume, they haven't released the price yet) if anyone is looking to save a few bucks.

If you do sign up for that site, help support BWD by using the referral link below. It will put a $10 credit on my account when you make your first purchase, which I will in turn pay forward to BWD when I use the credit (I'm assuming the mods/bwd are cool with this? If not please work your magic)
Here's the link: http://thryll.com/referafriend/?bl=c3Rl ... 1haWwuY29t

There's a coupon code you enter at checkout is " GoProHero2 " to get the special member price.

**Please note Thryll only ships to the states though so you'd have to send it to Seawings in Blaine (and pick it up from them at the Victoria Airport), which costs ~15 bucks, so it will only be worthwhile if its a hefty discount.(Seawings is awesome to deal with if you've never tried them) I also imagine it will sell out fast.

**I haven't dealt with thryll yet, just found it a couple weeks ago, but it appears to be popular in the states, so I'm assuming its a reliable place to purchase from

I checked this deal out purely out of curiosity. It was discounted to $209.99. All cameras sold out within half an hour.
