Video would not play for me. I was interested in seeing it too, as I'm waiting on parts from RAM to put my camera boom together. Dang parts are backordered, seems anything related to a Go Pro camera is premium priced, hard to get, and generally a PITA to figure out because they don't give you any dang manual - you have to go on-line, find it and print out what you want. It may save them money over printing and putting a manual in the box with the camera, but to me for the price they sell them for a manual should not be an OPTION! I'm still in the beginning stages of getting the camera to work the way I want it, but I am little disappointed after shelling out $400 (and that did NOT include an SD card, without which the camera won't even turn on - another $50.00). The battery (self contained) won't last an hour either, so you better buy several, plus chargers or figure out external power like Shawn did (but I didn't get to see it) - another $60.00 minimum. I'm still having issues downloading video from the camera - I think I may know what the issue is, need more time to test and solve that issue. My experience has not yet begun to match the hype surrounding this product, after I get to play with it a month or so that may change - stay tuned.

The video loaded and played today - go figure. I like the external battery, I think I will do that as I have a battery & all I need is a USB charger with a cigarette plug end (they make one for charging in the car) which, I think, would continually charge the Go Pro. I also watched the "lost 10 lb bass, that must have been a heart breaker.

Shawn, I got the PM - thanks, I'll do that later today.

crankbait...it may not be a "bassboat" per say....but believe me when i say i would fish on it ANYTIME pal. in a LOT of ways i see where your rig is actually BETTER than a "boat". one can move around better than in a boat for one.
