19Nov Parrot AR Drone GoPro QuadCopter
Tweet
About a year ago I wrote an article about the Parrot AR Drone (new at the time) and how it would be fun to fly a GoPro HD on it. The biggest limiting factor at the time was that it operated over a WiFi connection to an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. This gave very [...]

31Oct GoPro CineForm Studio Free Software
Tweet
A nice look at the GoPro Cineform studio from Vimeo member Lucas Pfaff, and how it doesn’t have to be used just for GoPro cameras. There’s plenty of encoding options in the Cineform Studio to encode different video file types including DSLRs, and does an excellent job maintaining quality through the process. I know many [...]

30Oct Crocolis HD Extreme Sports Camera?
Tweet
Check out the first image (above left). That image definitely depicts this as a true “Extreme Sports” camera in my book. LOL. In the last month, there’s more people talking about a fairly new Crocolis HD Sports Camera. In full 1080p mode, it has quite an almost normal 140 degree FOV (field of view) which [...]

24Oct GoProHD Camera – Hero 2 (new version)
Tweet
GoProHD was already surprising film makers with it’s quality to size ratio, but they seemed to have found a way to make it even better. Not just 2x sharper images (bigger sensor), but more FOV (field of view) options, 120fps (yes!), more TimeLapse options, faster 10 photos in 1 second, but also mini-HDMI and external [...]

20Oct Modified Flycam Nano (low shots)
Tweet
Remember this video (above)? We modified a Flycam Nano attempting to get some really low tracking shots where we couldn’t bring out a wheeled or track dolly. The sample video (below), was something that Olivia @ Oliviatech.com was working on when she decided to test the GoPro 3D Housing. The video below was shot 100% [...]

10Oct Mick Fanning Surfs with first GoPro Video Array
Tweet
A teaser shot 100% on GoPro HD cameras, showing what can kind of ‘bullet-time’ effect can be accomplished with the worlds first GoPro HD Video array. Firing off dozens of networked still cameras in a single frame is a technical hurdle for most, so a more popular idea is to extract a single video frame [...]

There’s an on going debate between the GoProHD and ContourHD cameras. While the GoPro is having much success with it’s recent sale price announcement (I know many of you swooped one up), some ContourHD fans might be happy to know there’s a drop for this particular little POV cam. Normally running about $250 and then [...]

14Jul Snake River Prototyping – BlurFix GoPro HD
Tweet
A very cool looking kit from Snake River Prototyping that adds a much needed flat lens to the GoPro HD. If you haven’t done your research, the GoPro HD video will become soft underwater and things will look blurred out. With a flat lens on the housing, your video will retain it’s sharpness and focus [...]

14Jul Konova K-Slider and GoPro

Using the GoPro in odd ways. DIY suction mount to the hood of a car, on a monopod as a Golf Putter, and did you know it fits perfectly inside a Golf Hole? Playing with the Konova Camera Slider out on the course. Just total randomness and plain fun.

A friend asks about shooting a commercial following a fast Parkour runner with a long and continuous Steadicam shot. I’m an old fella, so I guarantee I can’t keep up especially while trying to fly a Steadicam. So of course i’m thinking up different ways to pull this off, but one requirement was being able [...]

17Jun GAUI Quad Copter for GoPro
Tweet
Summer is here, and the weather is looking good. Time to take to the air with a Quad copter. These little GAUI quad copters are creating quite a ‘buzz’ (pun intended). GAUI makes inexpensive quad rotor helicopters that can carry quite a bit of weight, which seems to be trending towards small cameras like the [...]
