Excellent! was the GoPro inside the plastic case?

Thanks for the supportive comments everyone. It is so fun to share
flights with others. *Yes, the GoPro was using the regular outside
plastic housing. I added an extended battery pack to the back of the
GoPro for around $50. Since a 32 gig card can handle around 3.5 hours
of video, it is always the batteries that die first. *We'll see how
long the regular battery + extended will last together. I will be
thrilled with anything over 3 hours total.

Thanks for the info Bruno................I'm thinking of up-grading to
either the GoPro you are using, or the Drift HD that uses a wireless
remote. The thought is to be able to turn on and off the camera to
save storage and battery for the "exciting" parts of the flight. I
always seem to run out of battery power when I'm racing up and down
the ridges!

I think there is a wireless unit for the GoPro but am not sure about
that.

Brad,

With a GoPro you can record just by turning the camera on and stop by
turning it off. Only one button.

Hi Mike,

yup, unless it's secured outside on the tail!

I'm using on of the original GoPro cameras, the light gathering
ability is poor and so is the battery life, but it's still fun to set
up in the sailplane, especially for the Tetra-15 first flights. It
needs to be replaced with a new HD unit of some type.

Ahh I see.
