Another gizmo...
I should really get off the 'net every now and again...
Yeah, I bought another gizmo. This time it's yet another GoPro in the form of a Hero 4 session - they just happened to be on sale...
Cute little tackerIt's got some features that are better than my Hero 3 silver and some that probably aren't so great. Better quality recording and a slightly smaller package (especially when you consider that the 3 needs a housing).
One of the disadvantages is that you can't swap out the battery but I did a wee search and for about $30 you can get a housing with a spare battery (extra 4 hours) outta China - I haven't bothered yet, we'll see if I end up needing it. It theoretically can be charged on the go but bye-bye waterproofedness...
One nice thing is that I can control both cameras simultaneously with my remote.
Anyway, I got it on Friday so I needed to try it out on the weekend eh" I decided to try it up front on the Tenere and also to run the 3 pointing out the stern. BTW: another neat feature of the 4 is that it knows which way up it is and will automatically flip the picture - on the 3 I have to tell it that it's upside down.
So after popping over to Feilding to catch up with my folks, sister & kids it was time to ride.
Alex meets a whaleI had somewhere else to be but had plenty of time to take the not-so-long way via Colyton and Valley (sealed), Zig-zag and Finnis Roads (gravel). The evidence is below:
The video didn't ...
