One of the main reasons I wanted the gopro was to film hunting trips from the dog, shotgun and boat. Since it's been raining off and on all day I had time to make up a quick and dirty vest mount.

Not a training session just a few throws to test the vest out.

I bet if I add a strap around the base of the mount so I can make it tighter to his chest it would make it a little more stable. I want to see what attaching one to his collar under his neck will look like.

would be a cool POV, but it would not work on a water retrieve.

Might be a great pov on a retrieve.

did you not read the whole thing again?

last time I checked the "under neck" area is underwater during a water retrieve

Using a gopro on a retrieve would provide a great POV

i don't think it would. Cause that area of the dog's neck is usually under water on a water retrieve

Now I know how Olly feels! Try to have an intelligent conversation and you guys come in and fuck it all up! :tk:

I typed this slow as I know you're not a fast reader.
I am aware of the "under neck" area and the fact that it is under water on a retrieve. That's why I wrote this in response:

Maybe I should have italicized or bolded the first word in the sentence.

we could just strap it to Zach's neck. That'd be underwater too

I watched the video. Pretty sure I caught epilepsy.

The Sony ActionCam has an available dog camera vest. That, paired with the excellent Sony image stabilizer and Zeiss lens are why I sold my Gopro in favor of the Sony.

The Sugarcoat company did this thing a few years ago. Neat stuff.

Translate that as, "mine's bigger" "mine's better" and "mine shoots better".
It's a pissing contest over cameras.

Olly, keep your camera out of the water as the extreme heat may crack the lens when the ice cold water hits it

Posted: **Sat Mar 15, 2014 10:53 pm**

Didn't mean to make it sound that way. Mine is NOT better.

Sorry if it sounded that way. I like the dogs eye view.

Haha
