    Default Cameras and water.

    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.

    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??

    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.

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

    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.
