Nice! I'd have been sweating it holding a £200 camera out of the window though!!

Are they stills taken from video footage, or just regular pictures?

I'm going to have a play around with the timer thing this weekend. I think that'll be a great feature to get some good action shots.


I think i must have put the wrist strap on when hanging it out the gondola so it was pretty safe.
The photos were proper photos not from the video. I set the camera on auto shoot every 3 secs and just held it out for about 10 seconds. It is a great feature. I much prefer stills to video, it leaves much more to the imagination.

Have fun with it and post some pics and video when you get back.

What's a cragghopper?

The telescopic squeezzy pole from Robert Dyas seems just the right piece of kit for a go pro :thumbup:

I'm literally modifying it as we speak. Turns out the diameter of the pole is a little small. Though nothing a bit of electrical tape won;t sort.

I'll post a pic when I'm done :thumbup:
