GoPro LCD BacPac Ordered!

I just found this great deal on a motorcycle racing website for the GoPro LCD BacPac for $62 shipped!

I used it over the weekend and found it difficult to frame without an LCD so I decided to splurge on this one. It really is kind of necessary when using it in a new situation...

The purchaser is doing a group buy and is expecting to place the order tomorrow, the 30th so if you want to buy one cheaply, I suggest you go there fast!

Mounting a GoPro HD on your dSLR

I've always wanted to mount my GoPro on top of my dSLR so that I could take videos of my photography. Silly, isn't it?!?

I saw this on eBay and wanted to give it a try. It's very inexpensive and does a nice job.

1/4x20 Hot Shoe Mount

There are two version of this mount. One with one locknut and the other with two. I opted for the two version since it allows you to lock the mount to the camera and the GoPro to the mount.

Here's what it looks like mounted on my Canon 30D.

I'll post some video taken with this mount shortly.

More later!
