Does anybody have anything they've used to attach their gopro to a downrigger? I'm going to the west coast salmon fishing and am looking into a way to get a cool underwater video. Ive seen some setups but they cost $150 plus S&H. Anybody have any ideas or experience?
Well typically we fish anywhere from depths of 25' to 65' so I was hoping it would work at the 25'-30' depth. Figure it would be worth a try and you could get some pretty cool footage. Just looking to see if anybody has had experience trying or have any knowledge of a good setup
GoPro's official website says they can withstand depths up to 197 ft (60m). Dont plan on taking it down that deep tho. Real concern is mounting and lighting although i figure the lighting should be alright at the 25' mark.
you will need some sort of lighting even at 30 ft or your camera wont capture anything beyond 6 or 7 m. also, make sure you have a pressure tested case adequate to handle the water pressure.
