With very few buttons and menus you can navigate easily, the camera is pretty simple to use.

Shaky footage will make any video tough to watch. Included in our rental package are two accessories to help ensure you get steady shots.

1. Extension Pole

– We recommend using the pole to record most of your experiences. With the pole fully extended, the camera will experience less vibration and movement than if you were to hold it in your hand. The pole also gives you the ability to get unique angles for shots. (think extreme angles – very low to the ground or way up in the air)

2. Head Mount

– The head mount is great for achieving true first person perspective in your video. When watching the footage later, the viewer will get to see exactly the same thing you did. Plus, your head comes with the ultimate camera stabilizer, your neck. It also gives you the ability to keep your hands free.

– The head mount is pretty versatile, don’t be afraid to put the camera other places than your head.

A timelapse is a great way to capture an event over an extended period of time. (e.g., sunrises and sunsets) The GoPro has a time lapse mode which makes it super easy to record. Also included in the rental is a tripod, perfect to mount the camera.

One tricky part of a timelapse is determining how many pictures you need. We provide you the camera setup to record video at 1080p (resolution) at 30 fps (frames per second). In a timelapse, each image represents 1 frame. So if we want a 10 second time lapse, we need to allow the camera to record 300 pictures (30 fps x 10 seconds = 300 pictures). The GoPro allows you to choose how much time between each picture taken. (Options: 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds). So if we wanted to record an hour long sunset, and we set the picture interval to 10 seconds, we need to take 360 pictures! Put the camera on the tripod and let it do its thing.
