Nice video, great conditions. Is your camera on a fixed mount?

pipe, it's on a clamp mount. i had it clamped on the top of the windshield just to the right of the cabin door. i was surprised at how steady it was. i went and got a double battery pack to get some more time out of it. we went out in the gulf and trolled up a couple of large spanish. i thought i was filming, but the battery had already died.
they need to give you the camera, just to get you hooked on the extra stuff you end up buying, sorry charlie, pushing the limits of my tech know-how to get this far.

 I've been surfing Amazon looking at them. Trying to figure out which "package" deal is actually the best deal. Like you say, the camera is just a means of getting you to buy all the extras. I was worried about battery life. Guess I should get 2 extra? Did you get the "Black" edition? Did you get the display attachment and the remote? Going to Italy soon with the wife & kid, so I have a non-fishing justification for getting the boss to agree to it... By the way, in NJ that 10 minute ride would have been half NO WAKE ZONE and taken 45 minutes

skunk, i got the hero 3+ silver edition. i think the only difference is the remote and maybe the frames per second settings. i bought the additional batpac today ($45) that doubles the record time to about 4 hours. also if you have the wi fi enabled on the camera it sucks battery life.
i had looked at them, but was not really interested. then i took a friend who works for a tv station out fishing. he brought along a contour (similar to the go pro) and just lashed it to the bimini top rails. he just let it roll as we fished. got some great shots casting to and landing some mahi mahi and then some dolphin(flipper type) came up. he grabbed the camera and lashed it to the gaff and stuck it under water and got some great shots of the dolphin. my wife saw the videos and said we have to get one of those. mentioned it to my daughter and she said we have a promotion at work and can get 40% off retail. as they say, the rest is history... really wish i had something like this when the kids were little and we were able to do the keys trips more frequently
