  1. So far the hero2 has not bee great, the low light abilities are garbage. Sound is mediocre at best. Actually in hindsight I should have gone for that casio that shoots at 1000fps for roughly the same price. Oh well. I had some timelapse functional issues, and got issued and RMA an few weeks ago. I didn't send it back as I needed it to shoot some videos. Today I just updated with the latest firmware and now the audio doesn't work. BOOO... Also the 30 day money back guarantee only applies if you buy dirct from GoPro. I contacted future shop and they said that if Go Pro sends them an email saying they will replace it to them instead of me that I can return it for a full store credit. Called Go Pro back and they said no.

    Oh well, Looks like I'll be with the hero2. I am gonna go boxit up and send it back to be repaired/replaced.

  2. I did my FAC restricted test, before the PAL system came into effect. I never got aroudn to submiting my application until about 5 years after the PAL came into effect. I called them and The had a record of me passing the restricted course, and I was given my rPAL.

  3. HaHa, to be honest I was a bit flustered when I was asking her to cover herself in oil and spray some water on her for the shot so she looked sweaty. err but lets not get into that.

     

    And to anyone that wants to help out by sharing the video and or the website on any site they want, please do so. We are relying almost entirely on word of mouth. I do have money put asside for some adwords and such but word of mouth is going to be key for this to be a success. Facebook, Twitter, other forums, emails to friends, co-workers etc... are totally fine. I am trying to get permision to post on some LEO forums and some army forums as I am sure they would also be interested in the event. Especially given that its a non profit venture.

  4. Thanks guys, even if people just check out the video it will all help as the revenue from the video will be used as a funding source to help advertise. Trying to run this on as close to zero budget as possible, and see where it can go. Any word of mouth the better.

  5. Well, it has been a long road so far having to have dealt with lawyers, accountants, advertisers, marketers, sponsors, charities, the guberment, copyright info and so on and so fourth. The official Launch is here.

     

    Some of you may have recall hearing bits and pieces of this, but I'll give you a quick run down. I decided that it was time to take a few of my passions and try and take a run at living the dream. My dream has always been to run a non profit youth camp where city kids can get a chance to experience the outdoors the way you and I do. Under the stars, on the lakes and in the woods. I am striving to fund this camp by running a series of adventure style races. The premier event is called Grudge Run. A 150 km 48 hour endurance race. Now I'll leave out all the nity gritty as they can be found on the website as well on the promo video... Yah thats right I even filmed, edited and directed a video, full of copyright and royalty free goodies. :) Yep I even have model waivers. haha.

     

    Anyway here is the link the website...

    www.grudgerun.com

     

    To our facebook page

    www.facebook.com/grudgerun

     

    As for the company itself we are registered as a for profit company but on the advice of the bean counters this is only setup as a shell for liability reasons to help protect the non profit company we are setting up to run the camp.

     

    And the long awaited Promo video... Turn your speakers on.. It took me ages to find legally free audio for the tracks.

  6. Looks pretty cool, if you were to find 3 more dead hard drives try filming from a 45 to 60 degree angle as opposed to dead on

    So when you edit it and slow it down, you will be amazed of what you don't see....and yes go closer,

    just hope your cam doesn't get ricochet in the process...:whistling:

     

     

    I have many dead hard drives... I wish I video'd this heat sink we shot with a muzzleloader....
