I use my GoPro to record my daily commute to and from work. Last Friday, the 4th, I was involved in a rear end collision. It wasn't bad and I wasn't hurt, however, I broke my GoPro clip when I removed it from my windshield mount. I obviously wasn't taking great care in my rush to grab the camera, but I don't think it should have broken. I have contacted GoPro through their support page, but haven't received confirmation that they have sent the replacement clip.
They requested that I send a picture of the broken clip. Here it is!
Oh, another thing. Here's a clip from the accident.
This is of course, very helpful when proving that you weren't at fault in the accident and to show the damage and to capture the license tag information from the other driver, which I originally forgot to do!
I've needed a flexible mount and some editing software for a while now, so when I spotted this deal over at Buy.com, I had to grab it. It's a Joby Gorillapod type of mount that can hold the GoPro since it uses a compression grip instead of a regular tripod mount (1/4"x20). The price is very fair as well. Normally, Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements go for around $60-100 EACH, the price I paid $40 sounded like an incredible deal. The package looks like this:
The contents:
There's a lens cleaning kit that comes with a watertight case, the flexipod, and the DVD with the software on it. The best part is that the software is the full versions of both programs, not the "light" versions as is often the case with inexpensive bundles. Now, the only difference is that this is Adobe PSE and PRE 8 versus the newest version of 9, but I don't mind being a version behind.
