GoPro? Any luck?

I have a GoPro camera and thought about mounting it to my stabililizer. Has anyone done this? Any luck? Recommendations?

Thanks!!!

 

I actually mounted it to the front top part of my frame on my monster, works great because it doesnt get in the way of anything and gives you a higher point of view, almost as if you are looking right where you are shooting the camera, did it with the bike handle mount

 

My bro wheres one on his head, and got his first kill of the year with it. Were having trouble editing the HD video though.

 

Have you tried downloading their editing software from their website? I believe it is free to download, maybe since that one is geared towards the GoPro it will help out?? Hope it helps man

 

I have a go pro and I have filmed pheasant hunts, bear hunts, snokeling, and a bunch of stuff with it. I love it, however I do NOT love the bow mount. The climax of the filming is the shot, and when the bow vibrates it ruins it. I bought a gorilla pod for it that I can just wrap around either my stand, a branch, or my bow hanger and it works great. Also the footage is pretty good. I filmed me shooting my bear at 120fps and the slow mo looks awesome.

 

I mounted mine right on my stabilizer, works really well. You film exactly what you're aiming at. Just make sure you're clear from your arrow rest.

 

It has such a wide angle lens that if a deer is more than 25 yards away it is hard to see what is going on. I love it for trolling on lake michigan because of the wide angle lens however. The battery life on mine is only abour 45 minutes or so. Is that about how long everybody elses lasts?

 

My battery only lasts about 45 minutes to an hour also.

 

i have seen it done but Brian is right about the fact that you will not see the deer past 25 yards.

 

I use the original hero and I get more like 2-3 hours of battery life.

 

I mounted mine to the top of my site, seems to work out pretty good, the only problem is the shot creates alot of vibration and its hard to see the impact, test it out on your target you will see what I mean.

 

I mounted mine right below the stabilizer on my bow using the curved adhesive mount. The only problem like most people have said is that the recoil makes it impossible to see the shot. If you have any questions or want some pictures let me know.
