GoPro and similar cameras

Post by Dave Watterson »

Santa left a GoPro look-a-like but I have little interest in it as a dashboard camera and do not do exciting downhill ski-jumps ...

Any tips on how best to use it for other purposes. For a start I will need some sort of handgrip.

Bargain bag of bits from Amazon I was gifted for my GoPro - all reasonably well put together and I'm sure items such as the selfie stick, head mount, floating handler, handlebar/pole mount, window suction and standard tripod mount will come in useful. One day. Probably.

I love my 'GoPro lookalike' as it's so easy to take with me wherever I go. Mine's an SJ4000 and I tested it in Positive Image some time ago. It still works well, amuses many and gives outrageously good results (movies, stills and audio) for the £45 they cost.
So, why not use it as a dashcam for starters?
Tom.
