This.
Good luck.... I had croup all throughout my childhood and it was not fun in the least. Will never forget the one time that I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to breath and basically rolled off my bed and landed square on my nose. So not only could I not call for help, but was leaking blood everywhere.
except it's RSV or some other respiratory viral infection. wife is wfh this morning, and it'll be my turn this afternoon.
) and it was hell. fucking hell. my oldest doesn't seem to do well with failing at things, and he is a complete novice at skating. he was falling all over the place, flailing, bitching and moaning the whole time... took every ounce of self control not to smack him a few times. that carried over to the evening. all the while my youngest is hacking up a lung, practically choking on phlegm. The night was not a success.
The only objection I would have is size, I choose the entry level hero model, you cant preview your footage or watch as you film butso far that has not bothered me. I just turn it on, ride and do the edits at home.Work today. This is going to be a long day. So many things are on the go.
Mr Adventurous reminded me of something; a Go Pro Hero 3 Black with LCD screen, remote and SD card has popped up on PinkBike in my local area for less than half the cost of whatever the newest one is. I'm tempted...does anyone have a good reason not to grab it? For what its worth, a new Hero 5 Black is $600 up here (plus 13% tax).

he's quite a trooper about it. thankfully he responds well to the nebulizer, but we still need to get him the steroid dose.Good luck....

he's had both croup and RSV. this is definitely croup .
Nothing wrong with that deal, but my general objection would be that most people i know end up using their action cams very sporadically once the initial excitement has subsided. On the rare occasion that i do actually bother to take it along, i usually don't do anything with the footage unless it shows me almost dying or absolutely nailing a section. And even then i can't convince my gf of what a badass i am since that trail somehow doesn't look as steep on wide angle video as it did the moment i almost shit my pants.
Which is why I don't want to blow half a grand on a camera. That's two trips to Bromont!
Get one of the chinese ones for $50. They use the same sensors, chipsets, batteries, optics; and are largely manufactured by the same people.
that's tough. my oldest got croup a couple of times. it's pretty scary when they can't breathe. good luck with it, i hope it passes quick.
Even with an app and a screen at the back i think that the user experience still leaves a lot to be desired and is too disruptive during a ride unless you are just riding downhill. And as i said, i think it gets old pretty fast. We went on a fantastic riding trip to Italy last year - 4 guys with a GoPro each. Honestly, the only time we ever looked at the footage was when comparing lines and looking at crashes once we returned to our apartment. I still look at all the pictures i took during that trip but can't be bothered to ever sort through the hours of riding footage i recorded.
And my tools are nowhere to be found. Guess I don't have to work today.
Where'd you go and which one did you get?
Won't work with Karma Grip. Also tops out at 48 fps in 1080p SuperView, which is the mode you'd want to use. (That might even be a 3+ update.)
Yeah - I think, like anything, there are "Gopro" folks and "IDGAF" folks in this camp. I mean - the only person in the end that is going to give a shit about this footage is yourself. And if *you* don't give a shit... there's precious little point having one of those things.
Hero 5 Black through LL Bean. Had a bunch of stuff to return to them and put the store credit towards the camera so it was $175 after all was said and done. Now I want the Karma Grip too, was gonna check in and see what happened with yours.
the kind that go in a tool box, or the kind that require constant supervision?

I'm definitely in the IDGAF camp. Fortunately, I identified this prior to actually buying one.
They told me how to hard reset it so I did that plus recalibrating yet again. I'll give it a workout skiing later this month and thus will be able to tell if it worked then.
But tubes are moar betterer.
