probably in the mid 50s if I had to guess, however good my foot thermometer works I don't know. I would say it was cold but very tolerable. My buddy went out waist deep so he could cast under the bridge, but with 4 pound magnathin I could cast that far without wading so far. Dang I wish there was a way to film after dark, the topwater bite was insane.larry ipock":1f31odtk said:
the one I posted is a link that should take you to YouTube. On my phone, Tapatalk turns that link into an embedded video right here. You can also embed a YouTube video here on the forum, but it displays in 4:3 aspect where my videos are widescreen so it chops the ends off the video. So I don't embed them here.CATCHDAWG":bbwko6e2 said:
my only concern with the head cam mount is starting and stopping the recording. The screen turns off after a little while and you have to push the button to turn it back on and then push it again to start or stop the video. Only way I think I can fix it is to turn the beeps back on, which I turn those off as soon as I buy a camera because I use them when hunting.MidTennFisher":sjobmk7e said:
That is the issue I am worried about. I'm using an Ultra Pro X cam 8+ which is comparable to the GoPro. With the camera on the rod I can see when it's recording. With it on my head I may have to turn the beeps back on.MidTennFisher":qzjxb91s said:
thanks for the advice. This is my current hunting tripod setup, but it's not very practical for fishing, unless someone was filming.rsimms":3pn50wlj said:Yes, too shaky. Great content, but hard for me to watch the wiggling without some Dramamine.
And I can tell you from experience, even the head mount is too shaky for my tastes. You will be SHOCKED to see how much you're moving your head around, even while fighting a fish. I also find that the head-mounted GoPro's are top heavy. They have a tendency to move around on my head.... unless you're like the skydivers and can hardmount them to helmet that doesn't wiggle around.
Personally, the GoPro video's I've seen shot with the chest harness mounts are the best (or those shot by another person with a steady hand). Easy to search out some GoPro chest mount fishing videos on YouTube. And yea, you are totally correct about the problems turning a GoPro on & off when it's on your head. It is much easier with a chest mount, just because you can look down and see it. So, if you're buying another mount, I would suggest you try the chest mount.
Just remember there is a very good reason that EVERY professional video production outfit always shoots off GOOD tripods (or $100,000 Steadicams). Just sayin' ...
