Got a tip for you, don't like it, don't click it. Pretty simple really.

I hereby wish to state that Go Pro vision or any other on board/helmet cam vision gives me the absolute ****s.

I am over it! Stop it!

This is not meant as a personal attack on any one video, rather it is a culmination of many videos and pent up frustration.

Ahhh, that feels better.

Fair enough, I've posted a few GoPro helmet mounted videos and I understand people may get sick of them. However I'm not round at your place with a 12 gauge shotgun pointed at your head and demanding you to watch them.

If the thread says something like GoPro video and you don't want to watch it, then don't.

Rad Lad,
Living in the South Sandwich Islands I thought you'd be sick of watching Deliverance (the only movie in the Video store). Maybe if we just send the movies to you first and you can decide which ones to post

It's probably not the gopro stuff per se, but more the lack of editing that makes some of those videos painful...

10 seconds is the absolute longest any clip should go for, before a cut.

More pls!!!

I love watching people's clips. Some good editors out there too.

Just to anoy Rad Lad more - anyone know if you can post background music on them, on youtube without them pulling it for copyright?

I'm going to start crediting the sound track. I'm also making some noise in Garage Band.

Have seen people putting a credit on their videos - so you think that keeps them at bay?

Deleted my reply....

I guess if your video became insanely popular then copyright may be an issue.

I don't think I'll have much worry then

I love watching peoples videos, even GoPro, but if to many people post unedited, long and shakey Gopro clips then it will turn people off watching anything.. Which is what has happened here with Deliverance. And the less people will click to watch when someone puts the effort in to produce their best edit..

So maybe I half support the notion to use the GoPro in limitation..

Cool song for a backing track is P.O.D Alive. Oldie but a goodie...

I can see the videos becoming a great record of my sailing. Something to watch when I'm old and decrepit.

That's right, they are good records so when your older you'll look back and remember that day out and what it was like.

Also good for learning, seeing how you sail, where you can improve, if your rig looks correct and comfortable etc.....

I to, love watching other peoples gopro videos or any type for that matter, its why I bought one, (in fact two).
However my early videos are painful to watch to be honest, if You Tube allowed 10mins mine were 9.59 long!!! Over edited with every transition my editing software would allow.(how often do you see that on Telly? You don't)
Long, long sequences(agree with Nebbian 10 secs max), dodgy quality ie water spattered on lens, shaky etc etc
I try to be brutal with the editing and only keep the best quality and most interesting but still learning heaps about the editing. That's all part of the fun.

My whole stance has improved by looking from the boom and mastcam shots so there's some real value. Yes and one day you will look back and go... yep that was a good day...

I've never had a problem.

Largely depends on the agreements that certain record companies have with YouTube. In Australia we are pretty lucky so most of the time it isn't a problem. Germany though has really tight copyright laws - most of my clips are blocked over there..

I'll be making my debut soon with my Lumix...I'll include the 20 minute drive down to the beach and the rigging as well....just to get you warmed up for the 10 secods of sailing vid.

What gear/setup were you using for your mast tip footage?
