I never go fishing without my camera. I used to carry a decent camcorder on most trips but after it wet the bed I got a Flip Ultra HD...not impressed at all even though it shoots in 780 any motion shot looks jerky. However the starlings in that vid link did look almost Pixar like.

My camera is almost always with me in the boat. I've used a GoPro Hero before and it is great for certain things. It has a wide angle fisheye lens so it will not catch much that is far away. It's great for point-of-view action shots though.

Sorry Crankbait but I'm going to semi-hyjack. I've never took a picture of a fish in my life, fact I've taken very few pictures period. I, since joining, have really regreted this. The pictures on here are flat out amazing! So Crank and the rest of you folks have convinced me to take action. I already carry way to much equipment (at least 3 poles, enough plastics and jigs to last a month, numerous other baits plus terminal tackle plus..... ), currently shorefishing and frequently wade. So I'm looking for a compact, shock resistant, waterproof portable point and shoot that I can hitch to a laynard around my neck
Crank, I apologize for the hyjacking but I never know when to add to a thread or start a new thread. Hey if I've overstepped PM me and I'll delete and start new thread. Thanks for your thread! |

Ive had my eye on a Go Pro for awhile,not only for pictures but to also video my trips to review my techniques,casting ,hooksetting,etc....I also wanted to have a way to make rod building tutorials viddys for my site....From everything Ive researched the GoPro should be more than sufficient,plus it has a ton of features.
For now my Iphone does a nice job.

A camera is good think to have with you. I'm thinking about getting another, smaller camera for when I don't feel like carrying my Canon EOS around (shore fishing, on the boat in crappy weather, or in my day to day activities). I'll probably get one of the thinner Canon P&S cameras, like the Canon PowerShot ELPH.
Those GoPro cameras look interesting, I'll have to check them out. BB

Yeah, I totally agree. I don't go fishing without a camera, you never know what you might see or catch. I love going through old photos to get psyched up for a coming trip. Looking at pictures of a successful trip is almost like re-living the experience.
I do stills 99% of the time, but last year I bought a Tachyon XC micro so I could start getting more video. I have a couple mounts for my kayak as well as a clip to wear it on a hat for boat fishing and wading. It's small, waterproof, and practically indestructible, which is just what I was looking for. I tested it out on a couple wading trips for smallies last Summer and was pleased with the results. http://youtu.be/zXu1mg7g6BQ |
