Forgot to upload this awesome shot...

Ruined my (SECOND!) GoPro HD to get this...attached the camera to my kite, and when it "landed", (using that term loosely here) it was facing camera-down and scratched the lens. Enjoy!

I believe GoPro sells replacement cases for much cheaper than buying a replacement camera.
It is a crazy cool shot!

They do, they even sell just the lens for the case, but I had it out of the case to save weight. There wasn't much wind that day and every ounce added to the kite makes it harder to launch, so I had just the unit taped to the underside of the frame. :(

Ouch. Nice shot though..
FYI, The clear cases dont hold up well when tossed down the road either. $39.99 lesson.

(Almost) Any sacrifice for the shot! Learned it from my pops... Niagara Falls/Maid of the Mist? Always came back with a too wet camera, but some priceless images fo sho.

Now I'm curious about the first ... how did it die?

Darryl Cannon aka "killboy" said...

I dropped it while boarding a boat at the end of a night scuba dive...lost it. :(

Sucks about the GoPro but at least you got the footage this time. Great shot BTW.
