Very neat use of 4 GoPros!

I found this information on goprouser.freeforums.org.

It shows how Martin Gallagher has created a mount to hold 4 GoPros so that they can be used to create 360 degree panoramic videos! Just go here and check it out.

Another Tripod/Grip Added to the Stable

I enjoy taking my GoPro everywhere with me. However, using it in it's polycarbonate case is not easy unless you have either a hand strap or some other way of holding on to the camera. I spotted this online and had to grab it. It's a "Fotomate M-07" tripod/grip. It's comfortable to hold and it's compact. I can easily hold it at waist level for long periods of time.

Here it is without the camera.

 Other angle.

Here it is as a tripod. You can change the angle of the mount by pressing the little purple button. 

The top of the mount is a rubbery material which grips the GoPro Tripod Adapter well.

 Here's the GoPro mounted to it.

Another view.

Here it is being held. You can see that it's a good angle.

It's very comfortable to hold.

The only shortcoming of this grip/tripod is that the angle of the mount is a bit weak and so can change very easily without pressing the purple button. Also, the grip/tripod doesn't hold together very well so you have to keep a good grip on it. Perhaps it would be wise to wrap it with a velcro strip or some hockey tape! So far, I'm enjoying it. It fits in my Scottevest very easily.

More later,
