Cameras and water.

[Philxj4L]

So, you've just got your new camera, at $540 its a fair spend. We all know cameras and water don't mix, and dunking them in the local lake is totally counter intuitive,, so that's just what I done. :camera:

It was a GoPro, but it still don't feel right. :)!

Catch those ducks!!!

I would feel the same about dunking it. Just seems wrong!

By the way, are Gopros gold over there?!?! The most expensive one is $300 over here.

That was a pretty interesting video... Did you have it on the front of a RC boat??

[Philxj4L]

The GoPro Hero 3+ black edition retail at £350 in the UK !

Not on an RC boat, I used the extendable mono pole, planning on bringing bread next time, see if I can get any closer. :)

[bluedragon436]

OH ok... that makes sense to use the monopod... Either way the ducks didn't seem happy to see it.. lol

[bad luck]

I really like that video, did the water damage it at all? I thought they were made to get wet.

[Philxj4L]

No damage at all :), it was in the standard 40m water resistant case, but it still just feels wrong the first time ya do it. :D
