I've seen quite a bit of posts about people losing their GoPro since the little cameras were introduced.
much more than other cameras for sure,
I was just curious to those who have lost them, How did it happen? To the best of your knowledge of course. I realize some people just get on the boat and realize they don't have it anymore.
But, what type of mount were you using? pole? headmount? wrist strap?
I had it drilled into my brain when I used to rent cameras to NEVER let the camera out of your sight, or out of your hands, even if you have a lanyard.
This year I used a GP for the first time. I used it on a pole, but just like my other camera, when not using it, I kept in my vision.
Next trip I'm going to work on attaching the GoPro to the hot shoe connection on my still camera housing, & adding a video light to the mix, so I can take both cameras with me on a dive.
... those who usually expect a trip report from me, may have noticed the May report has never surfaced. ... I've been super busy since I've been back, not to mention the eye surgery, with another one coming up in a couple weeks, and am now just getting to editing all the video I shot. ... hopefully results will be posted on the Shark Tank blog soon ...
