Do not use the head strap mount on a helmet without a backup cord.

This is just what happened to me


Sorry for the shitty quality, I made this last year in about 30 minutes of movie maker
Also, I met the guy while skiing at revy this season

That was pretty trippy, I liked it.

And thanks for the tips I was hoping to go rafting this summer so I'll be sure to rig up something.

it was in a small eddy, so not too far but if it was in the main river, there is no way that i would have found it

That was pretty awesome. I think you can buy a floating cover for the back, but then again we would never have got this footage!

i just put a piece of blue closed cell foam caulked to the back, you can get it off good enough and it stays afloat well. or use silicon gel if you have it.

This just gave me the best idea.
1. Tie GoPro facing down onto fishing line about three feet up.
2. Try to catch fish.
3. Catch fish and watch GoPro footage.

So sick, you should send the footage to GoPro themselves.  They could advertise with stuff like that.  "GoPro; the action sports cam that can roll down a river bed and not glitch or break."  Plus the footage is awesome, everything from the fish, the deep, clear water, the wood traveling down, the structure of the river itself, even seeing bed load (process of material moving downstream) was interesting.

I wonder if that's how it's like to be a fish, a drunk fish.
Like the most drunk fish ever!

I kept wishing that I would get caught on something, right side up, so I could just watch the fish and stuff swim by.
