Bolts

Hi All!

The other day at work I checked in a GoPro HD HERO3 (Black Edition) Video Camera Kit for the first time (I’m new) and became fascinated with the tiny device that has become famous for recording action footage since its introduction to the market in 2004.  From free falling 24 miles from space to launching off a 50-foot tall jump on a mountain bike, the GoPro’s arrival has changed the viewing of these action experiences for good by encouraging people to try new things while recording. 

The Hero 3 and 2 offered at the Student Multimedia Design Center are tiny at 1.2 x 2.3 x 1.6 inches and weighing only 2.6 ounces.  However, what makes the camera so popular is that regardless of its size the GoPro camera images are of such professionalism and high quality.  The Center also offers a variety of accessories that allow for the device to be attached to nearly everything for user-friendly and easy recording.   The camera is equipped with a waterproof casing that can withstand depths of 195 feet.  The kit also includes a wi-fi remote, two quick-release mounts, one curved adhesive mount, one flat adhesive mount and a 3-way pivot arm.  However, these mounts are built with small bolts that are susceptible to becoming loose and falling out.  This actually happened to me the other day while I was checking in one of the mounts.  After I had put the kit away, I found a bolt on the floor and it took a while for the other staff members and I to figure out where it had come from.  So, friendly reminder to always check the bolts in the mounts prior to checking in the kit to make sure they are all there!

Anyway, I would definitely recommend checking out this camera for people who want to document/record/share mountain biking, surfing, bungee jumping, auto racing or whatever adventure you have in mind because the GOPro Hero3 could be the perfect camera for you.
