Video Camera Options

[Metalli445]

I see many of you have a video camera mounted to your Yak. What brand do you recommend? Do you record yourself the whole time? What size memory card do you use or would recommend? I would think editing the video would be very tedious if you were to record your whole trip. Anything else you want to add feel free. Thanks

I bought an HD Hero- and 32GB card- use a sunfish camera mount by YakAttack secured on a mighty mount- it comes standard with a fish eye wide angle lens setup in a water proof housing.

Do you guys use a special program to edit your videos? Do you use a waterproof case on the gopro?

My Hero came standard with its own waterproof case- i bought a tripod adapter to mount it on the sunfish mount- otherwise it is stock from the factory-

Kodak Playsport and iMovie on my Mac.

+3 on the GoPro. The battery is good for about 2 hours of recording. I may invest in an extra battery in the future. I made a pvc mount that goes into one of the flush-mount rod holders on my yak.
For ease of editing, if I remember, I'll stop the video each time I catch a fish. When I upload the video to my Mac, I can just look for the breaks in the sequence and find the good stuff.

I use a ContourGPS with 32gb class 10 memory card. Get the biggest memory card you can for whichever camera you decide to get.


For editing, I use Sony Vegas.
