Trying out the Go Pro

[Just Trouble]

Thought I would try out the Go Pro for the first time on the Griff. Purchased a suction cup to mount it on the side of the Griff and gave it a little try. Quite tame as I wasn't sure if the damn thing would drop off even though Go Pro state that the suction cup has been tested up to 150mph with camera. But it didn't budge even though driving over some pretty bumpy roads!

Ruined by a silly soundtrack...... Not the v8 one.

Well the clue is in the title. Trying out the Go Pro and its software includes trimming/cutting, editing, adding titles and soundtracks, part of the learning curve. I appreciate not everyone likes Bruce Springsteen but I do as he is from my era. Point taken about adding a sound track alongside the V8 . Thanks Stlol for your comment. Cheers.

Nice video JT, not bad for a first attempt. Haven't seen you about in the 'Bay', I'll keep an eye out for you.

Hello davep
Thanks for the comment. Think you will hear me before you see me and likewise with you lol!

With regards to the comments about the cost of the Go Pro and other camera's I didn't look at any alternatives. I must say that I am impressed with the video quality and stabilisation of the films even over very rough roads. I used an external mic with a 'dead cat' cover to help reduce the wind noise.

Been out again, got the bug now fantastic coast road and it was sooooo quiet (except me)

With soundtrack

Without soundtrack (just the V8 singing)
