Very informative video. This isn't really on topic to the video but having a tiny mirror to check your camera during games to make sure its clean and still recording is a life saver. Also, a good alternative to the piece between the GoPro and the lens is a small piece of cardboard or foam taped on.

First off, your videos ROCK!! I'm a big fan. Anyways I have been playing paintball and just recently purchased a GoPro. I never thought of mounting the camera like that. That is a very good idea. The way I did it is very ghetto which includes screws, JB weld and duct tape. Ghetto but hey, it works. LOL. Also I had it mounted on the side of the mask, something I'm going to rectify. Not sure if you'll actually read this comment, but I want to say THANKS! Keep on keeping on.

Great timing. I just got a GoPro style cam to replace my Contour Roam2 and have been trying to figure out how you mounted yours. Having a centered cam makes gameplay much nice to watch vs having a cam mounted to one side of the mask

I see your using constant power to the camera. Do you have the battery removed? I have been thinking about getting the gopro mini, mainly that it do not got any screens to damage. Looking to replace my old currently running sony action cam(10 years) But I'm worried about the recording time of the new generations of gopro with over heating after 15-30min. But I have heared that if they are connected to power they last longer.

@NightmarePB Жыл бұрын

I'm using the Hero9 and it hasn't over heated yet. I only just started using the external battery last year. I do keep a berry inside of the gopro.

@Noiprox90 Жыл бұрын

@@NightmarePB Maybe its a gopro 10 and 11 problem, at least thats where i have mainly read that people have overheating issues. Having a camera that stopes recording after 15min is a big issue, espesialy as your not guaranted that it actualy saves the recording when it shuts down due to over heating. But when im going to buy a new camera im not that tempted to buy an older variant with "worse" specs for the same price as a new gen costs. (The older ones have not gone down in price here if you can find one) Maybe i just need to see what they push out on the 12. I know they state that the overheating is only when its not being used as intended, (lots of wind and cool envirments. But when playing in the woods you can alwas end up staying in one spot for a longer duration, and using any form of protection will prevent the air cooling it down resulting in overheating. At least its nice to hear that the older ones do not have that issue, especialy the 9, as if im not mistaken on the 8 they removed the posibility of changing the lense. which was brougth back to the 9 again. (got to have the posibilities of repairs. Had 2 dive houses broken back in the day when i used the gopro 3 due to hits. Got to protect them

Depends on where it gets hit. The lends or screen will shatter with a hit.

I was thinking about doing this myself. I play xball. If I do this on my lens am I just gonna constantly record my loader? I see you turning the gun sideways to shoot. Is that what you have to do to not get the loader in the way?

You're honestly using the wrong GoPro that GoPro that you have is so giant. They make a smaller GoPro hero session I believe is what it's called and it's literally cube and you can wedge it in between the lenses where your nose goes on the EVS that's what I do. I learned it from paintball ruin my life

@Noiprox90 Жыл бұрын

The problem would be to actually get the session. It's been out of production for the last 5-6 years or something. And with the new mini they got, that is not much smaller than standard. But at least it don't got any screens that can get shot up.

@NightmarePB Жыл бұрын

Sessions are of much lower picture quality. I have two of them.
