Checking out my new GoPro - and learning not to accidentally enter Simple Mode

Posted by Scott Berfield on January 13, 2013 at 6:00pm

We had a dry day today so I thought I would try out the GoPro Hero 2 I got for Christmas. All went well until I accidentally hit the switch for Simple mode without realizing it. Camera mount popped off and was fine, and I lost one prop nut. Could have been lots worse. Let this be a lesson...

Nice. May have to check that one out. I am all about cheap in this hobby and love to find inexpensive things that work.

Yeah, could you post a photo of your mount. The video is very clear and stable.

At least it wasn't 40' up a Fir tree like last time.

Not so bad, congratulations on the nice soft cushy tree and bushes.
