    On the water Video with Gimbal

    Great job. One thing ... and not sure if iMovie has a color board, but if so - shoot in PT (pro tune?) (flat) and manually do your color in post - plenty of tutorials on color processing on the web.. Great eye- great perspective, application etc.. It's a great new world. Thanks for sharing.

    Interesting. I have seen that approach in other product as well, a float with a blinky LED on a fixed amount of line. Just need to pack some line and a float into a small attached tube covered with some Mentos (the fresh maker) and voila !

    I was on the lower swift river, White Mountain National Forest in Albany, NH (Mount Washington Vally) around a mile from where it joins the Saco river I thought some of the shots were OK - no gimbal - I was trying to practice steady stick flying and got - caught up in it -

    No worries Earl - My best friend disagrees as well! And, I freely admit that this was my first exposure to the post submersion electronics recovery room. Being an internet geek - I had read an awful lot about this and took the fan vs desiccant approach. Perhaps I lucked out. For those...

    I wanted to see it also ! but after recovery - you see the last frames - Must have been trauma induced amnesia on the part of the GoPro - The quality of the file after recovery was not that great either. I neglected to turn on recording on the iPhone -

    Rice is a myth / joke. Does almost nothing. Good airflow for 48 hours and I was flying again. The GoPro being a little more confined with regard to airspace and airflow - will just take a little longer. It works fine - just a little fog left on internal lens elements.

    Let's go swimming !

    I took my solo for a swim last Sunday. I was busy flying shots of my wife and pup in the river - over shot and clipped a branch - went into full brush cutter mode and had a nice soft landing in 4' of water. No gimbal, and a GoPro 3 - No problem finding it. The battery LED's were flashing...
