How do you carry your GoPro

[SHiBBY]

Have you got any footage to share with this setup? I'd like to see the effect of the filter and lighting combination

I have my GoPro Hero2 mounted in the SRP Housing BlurFix & SRP Tray and I am using the Light and Motion Sola 1200 video light. I enjoy its simplicity!

You can make simple diffuser of white plastic and put in front of your light head.

This is exactly what I've been thinking of doing with mine. Have you done this directly yourself? It makes sense to me with the right diffuser - glad to see someone else is thinking along the same lines.

I have my GoPro mounted to the top of my camera housing...so I can video while I'm taking photos

That's pretty much how mine is right now, but mine is on a Ikelite video housing.:shocked2:

Yes, I have a Dragonsub Snake8 that I have done it with. But it steals effect and in dark conditions it is not enough light.
It is maybe best for photo/stills, that is easier to adjust in the digital darkroom.
I ended up buying a Sola1200 Video and considering one more.... to cover the whole lens on GoPro on wide.

I have my GoPro Hero 2 on a leash with a home made (PVC pipe cheap foam Bicycle grips, 1/4" Lexan, GoPro Tripod mount) handle with a hole drilled in it. Works great!

There's my $10 contribution. Made it in 10 minutes last night just to try the concept first.

Like I carry everything else. Cave line / bolt snap. Clip it off and only have it in my hand when I'm shooting video.

I use a very similar method... except I'm usually wearing neoprene gloves... it's not the most accessible thing but I can grab it if I need to.

I seldom shoot video these days, nothing too exciting.

What are the black grips made of? Also, how did you bend the pipe or did it come like that? Thank you!

The pipe seems to be a PVC 90 degree elbow, Home Depot link: 1-1/4 in. PVC 90-Degree Slip x Slip Elbow-UA9AGB at The Home Depot


Walking around Home Depot the other day, I came across this:


75 lb. Double-Arm Super Hook-18044 at The Home Depot


Looked promising and ready to go (just add a bolt to the center hole), but its steel - wouldn't last long.
