Gonna try some more qhen i hit up havasu. And release shots. Super clear water. Did u justdo video th3n take a screen shot. Or did u do a time lapse? Thanks! Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 8, 2019 Super User Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks - Yes Sir - screenshots. Rarely if ever even take any Pics. Just be sure to record 'fast' enough to allow sufficient frames per sec. It's the best way for me to fish solo and still be able to get decent pics of me holding my catch. And I've been hanging all winter to make my arms even longer . . A-Jay 3 Quote

Logan S Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I love using the GoPro and I'm not really into the videos that much...The action shots are great and you don't even have to try. A lot easier getting fish pictures, especially alone...Just hold it up and screen capture later. I've found it's great when taking my daughter fishing too...I obviously want pictures all the time, but stopping and trying to pictures takes away from the moment. GoPro solves it and also gives you good pictures you wouldn't otherwise know of or be able to take, like when she was trying to drive us around on the trolling motor for the first time . 3 Quote

I have a 5 and really need to put it to use more. Quote

Those are great pics. I got some good videos of my daughter fighting fish on the go pro. After she caught one she sat there explaini g to the video about what just happened. Priceless at 4 lol. 1 Quote

Also what model GoPro is that? I have a 5 and really need to put it to use more. Thanks ~ I use a couple of Hero 5 Blacks & Hero 5 Sessions. I use them on 'auto' for the most part but will often 'clean up' the pictures taken from the video with a photo editing software. I'm no tech wiz so you have to know if I can do it, it's got to be pretty easy. Also, I don't want to spend a ton of time doing it either so it has to be relatively quick; which it is. I'll tell you that in my mind the most 'challenging' part of it is keeping the camera running - all the time. It's the only way I can ensure I'll get that 'video or pic of a lifetime'. So that means I have to have several fully charged batteries ready to go (I use 6 for a full days fishing) and I MUST BE WILLING to take the few minutes it takes to change them when needed. If I do not - then if I miss something - it's on me. It's all about what I'm looking to get out of this. There is a loop feature on the GoPro that helps with card space (I use 128 gig cards) and there is even a pole / mount unit sold by YoloTec that plugs into a nav light mount which will power the camera eliminating the need for batteries - I like what I have but that is a very good option ... https://yolotek.com/collections/gopro-boat-mount/products/powerstick-53-bundle?gclid=CjwKCAiAwojkBRBbEiwAeRcJZIGGjqCf3LGhMcu9NzYrpunoj5NR3C-SNr-Onv3X-Yx7Gsx1MqLNkRoCSLUQAvD_BwE Bottom line, this deal has enabled me to capture stuff I would have NEVER been able to do effectively by myself. Really wish we had this 30 years ago - as my personal fishing video library would be massive & seriously impressive. Not to High jack the thread but having your PB catch on video is something any serious basshead can enjoy for a lifetime. Hope that helps. A-Jay 2 Quote
