I just bought this a drink.

 

Custom alignment. (2+ hours later)

 

I just bought a book.

 

which one?

 

It is called, 'I don't want to talk about it'. That actually is the title by the way. I am looking forward to reading it.

 

What did you get in return.........????

 

the new REM album. Well, not just now, but recently.

 

I just bought one of these cameras:
http://www.goprocamera.com/

The kit seems VERY complete. There are a LOT of options here, and I immediately thought of quite a few mounting options. There are 4 adhesive bases included. Two are flat and two are curved (for mounting to a helmet for example.) There are two "low-profile" mounts that clip into the bases. There is one "medium-profile" mount that is similar in design, but offers a little different height. The medium height, and one of the low height ones were missing their captured nuts that the adjustment knob threads into, but this is pretty minor, and I am sure a trip the the hardware store will resolve this for about $0.20.

There is a "pivot" mount that gives you two changes of direction to work with.

There is one extra piece of adhesive.

Then the suction cup mount. The overall design is slightly different than the other mounting options, but they include a thumb nut to adapt one of the adjustment knobs for use with the suction cup mount. It does appear to be VERY solid. Both the overall design, and the strength of the suction cup.

All of these mounting options tie into the waterproof case for the camera. So for virtually all mounting options, you will need to have the camera in the waterproof case.

The kit also includes a set of alkaline AAA batteries. However, the instructions reccomend rechargeable batteries.

There is a single cable included which plugs into the camera using a proprietary connector. On the other side of the cable is a standard USB connection AND two RCA cables for video and mono audio out. Of course, you could just remove the SD card and use a card reader on the computer. However, it is kinda cool that you can playback from the camera directly to a TV.

The camera only has two buttons. One to turn it on/off AND select the mode of operation and one for the shutter release or Start/Stop for the video. There is an LCD status panel on the front of the camera as well as a big red LED to indicate if it is recording.

The camera is SMALL. Tiny. SURPRISING small. VERY light. The waterproof case adds to the size, but not very much overall. It seems to be very well manufactured. It can take still photos one at a time, in a 3 shot burst, every 5 seconds, or after a 10 sec delay. Or it will take video. The image can also be flipped 180 degrees if you mount the camera upside down.

I just played with it a little, so I don't have any sample videos yet, but I intend to try it out at the Dragon next weekend.
