I have a fewquestions that I hope the kind folks on this board can help me out with, as I'mabout to purchase my first GoPro for my trip next month to the Turks and Caicos.
Looking at the GoProsite the dive bundle looks really decent but before I take the plunge here aremy concerns:
- The Dive Bundle includes the GoPro housing that is rated to 60m. Is this a wise choice or are there other housing manufactures I should be looking at? Also will this housing be able to accommodate a battery pack or a the LCD BacPac?
- Do I simply get extra batteries or should I go for the battery pack?
- The Dive Bundle includes a 1 arm grip. Will this be too "shaky"? Should I be looking at a 2 arm tray? What about the longer poles? I have seen a whole bunch of those but they look as if they are all over the place ..
- I was planning on getting the Backscatter Flip 3.1. Does this negate the need for a light? I am planning of not purchasing a light right now since I want to see how I get along with it. Is this a wise move or should I spend the extra few hundred dollars and get a light?
- Does anyone on the board have experience with using a GoPro and Linux?
Anything I missedfor a first time GoPro noob?
Many thanks inadvance for all your help.
