How about this for a professioanl external mic...

MicW iGoMic for GoPro Hero 2, 3 and 3+

Also works with Canon 5D & 7D, Sony Alpha 6 & 7 series and Nikon D7000

Go on then! How much??

I bought a lapel mike on 5m lead. Which I've tested and works perfectly when camera mounted at front of car and mike mounted to rear number plate

£15

Tell me yours is cheaper


Also that mount I purchased from you, (pole with suction cups both ends and extends) works perfectly in both car a small plane
Well worth the money if you compare it to single suction cup mounts

I'm seriously pised off with my Hero 3 Black - whatever I do it won't turn on, put a battery in and the rear light flashes red, I've tried various tricks I've read online (hard reset etc etc) but nothing works - there's no way to turn it on.

I don't think I've ever used the camera and it hasn't crashed at least once, I think I've only used it maybe 5 times in total.

Product just wasn't ready for launch

Emailed GoPro on Sunday, still no response - it was one of the first ones in the shops, I'm half expecting them to say 'out of warranty, go away'.

At the risk of stating the obvious (and apologies if it is), but have you flashed it to the latest firmware and also tried different memory cards?

[Mattt]

It was updated a while back, I believe which is the latest firmware (hasn't been updated for ages for the Non '+' models).

Tried different cards, tried no cards, tried putting the update files onto the cards to try and reflash the thing - but nothing seems to work.

I've taken the battery in and out loads of times, plugged into wall charger, USB socket, charged batteries separately.

In short, I think it's fked.

That's great! Out of interest which car(s) have you used it in?

As for the mic, it's certainly not cheaper at £149.99!!!

Hi Boro

I have only used it on one car, this being a 997.1

As for the plane I've used it in a PA28-180 and there's scope to use it on a slightly wider bodied aircraft to given the extension length, it's pretty rigid too even at full extension as required in the 997.

I'll try and pop up a couple of short vids if you like

[Boro]

That would be ace, if you could ;-)

Keen to see videos as well.

Very surprisingly the pole even fully extended isn't long enough to mount on the rear windows of my M235i.

Here you go



I purchased this off Boro a while back and have used it on a few occasion, not enough really but each time it has produced a very rigid platform from which to mount my gopro3+



This is the most recent footage using the mount on a short trip to lunch with a good friend


http://youtu.be/SuPDOZ6-2xU

I have used it I the car, well, tested it with a cheap mic setup and it worked a treat to but as I was on public roads, speed limits we adhered too so the footage was purely for test purposes only and I'll upload it once I have edited it.

[Boro]

That's a pretty good view from the back there and nice and steady. Would you mind if I borrowed some of your video/stills for the product page?

Ooo how much is that?
(Apologies if it's been discussed earlier in the thread, it's late )

Not at all (providing I get a discount off my next purchase from you ) ha ha

[Boro]

Deal ;-)

[Freakuk]

Just had a Sandisk 64Gb class 10 card die last night while filming on the GoPro... Won't reformat in the GoPro or on my Mac, just get SD ERR with that card now, crap!

Ordered and hopefully will get it in time for the weekend. Stay tuned for some Scottish Highlands driving videos!

On its way! Should be with you tomorrow ;-)

Any recommendations for a case? I really want a Peli case but can't spare the £50 or so at the moment. Needs to hold the 3, the floaty backdoor, chest, helmet and head mounts, mini tripod and charger cables.

About every type of water proof case you could ever want

[Freakuk]

Off on my honeymoon in October there could be some skydiving and definitely diving, so I'm thinking of one of those velco arm bands that I see on Ebay for the skydiving (thoughts) and what's the recommendation for diving? Floaty back door type thing or one of the bobber type handle stuff?
