26Mar NastyClamp vs Actionpod which one is right for your kit?
I’ve been playing around with the NastyClamp as well as the Actionpod for a few weeks now trying to decide which one is a better fit. Both use the same 3/4 inch Loc-line tube so they both have pretty much the same load capacity. The major difference is in the squeeze clamp and mounting stud. […]
25Mar Aluminum Combat housing for the Gopro Hero 3 Kickstarter
This isn’t a life changing kickstarter campaign, but I can see it being useful for those of you who really put your Hero 3 through heavy use. It’s basically just a big chunk of machined aluminum that gives you a lot of 1/4 20 and 3/8 mounting points and has the added bonus of protecting […]
12Mar Nasty Clamp rigidity test, will it support a large flash?
In an effort to test the rigidity of the Nasty Clamp, I mounted a Canon 580 ex II flash with batteries at an angled position and left it on the Nasty Clamp over night. This is basically the same test I ran with the Actionpod. The flash with batteries works out to ruffly 3 pounds […]
17Feb ActionPod the Flexible Gopro mount
You might have noticed the lack of posts this week. Things have been a little crazy with the laser testing and Valentines day. I did however manage to get one of these Actionpod’s by Dinkum in. This version is designed for lightweight items like LED panels or the Gopro hero 3. The attachment clamp on this Actionpod is strong enough to […]

The Gopro Hero 3 USB to 3.5mm audio cable showed up last night and I had a chance to do a quick audio test using the adapter. In these test I used the Rode VideoMic pro plugged directly into the usb adapter and recorded audio at 0db of gain as well as +20db of gain […]

15Dec Wasabi GoPro HERO 3 batteries and charger
As with most manufactures the GoPro Hero 3’s batteries have a bit of a markup. $20 plus shipping per 1050 mAh battery can add up fast. When I went digging around for better alternatives I found the Wasabi GoPro Hero 3 battery and charger kit for $25 +$4 shipping on Amazon. My decision to go with a set of these […]
14Dec GoPro Hero 3 app, not much of a selling point
The first thing you’ll notice about this photograph is that i’m not holding a camera in the “live view” screen display. That’s because there is so much delay between what the camera is seeing and what the tablet is displaying that I was easily able to photograph the tablet before the screen caught up with […]
12Dec Free Time Lapse software that’s easy to use: GoPro Cineform Studio
I have a lot of good things to say about the GoPro Hero 3, but I’ll save them for the full review. What I want to point out here is that the free Cineform Studio app on Gopro’s site is an excellent, easy, full functioning, time lapse application. Simply click the “Import New Files” button on the left, […]
