is limited, which is something
you need to keep in mind when
positioning the cameras. We've
also fashioned wrist straps using
small bungee cords so we don't
have to fumble for the remote at the
same time we're fumbling for the
duck call.
Also, make sure you stop
recording after the action ends
(another lesson learned the hard
way). Failing to do so kills the
remote battery and eats up a ton of
storage on the camera's SD card.
Setting Field of
View
A major advantage of the
GoPro is that it doesn't require a
cameraman. But since no one is
pointing and aiming the camera,
accurately positioning the camera
and setting the field of view is very
important. Poor positioning can
result in a lot of footage of nothing
but blue sky. Some GoPro models
have a back screen that allows you
to see the field of view, but those
get covered up with waterproof
backing and external batteries. So
instead of just guessing about what
we are aiming at, we started using
the GoPro App.
