(1) I bring 2 mounts: a small clip that i can attach to a hat or backpack strap, and a flexible tripod for around camp or attaching to a gunwale. Examples below: Clip Tripod (2) Tips: play with it before the trip starts! There are many youtube tutorials to help understand what the GoPro can do. I watched the channel "Great Day For A Hike", he also makes videos about editing. I try to keep it simple since I'm not an influencer - Standard video mode, Timelapse, and Night Photography (Stars/Aurora) - are all I've really used. I also bring a compact digital camera for photos. Bring a battery pack or extra batteries! (3) I edit my videos with Davinci Resolve. I know GoPro's app Quik can edit videos, but I liked the versatility of Davinci. Again, Youtube tutorials. Here is a video I made with a lot of GoPro Hero 9 Black footage: Video |

For a simple, cheap, versatile and effective clip, I just use a 2" spring clamp onto the plastic snap-in base that the camera came with. I think that base is mostly intended for display at purchase but the base with the clamp works well for me. These are a couple of photos of this set-up clamped to my kitchen counter. If the captured video ends up to be not level because of the angle the camera got clamped, I simply correct that in editing. I use Adobe Premier Elements for the editing. I posted the most recent video from last years's trip in another thread but here is a link as well. P.S. Nice video, AlmostCanadian! Whiteshell PP looks fun! |

Don’t be afraid to shoot A LOT of footage. My first few trips I was afraid of battery life (bring a charger or extra batteries) and I missed A LOT. I primarily did my Pheasant hunts, but would turn it off and on a lot now I just fun it all the time. Canoe trips I just have it on a floaty and run it whenever I see something or for fishing or canoeing I use a head strap. I don’t shoot as much though for canoeing so NOT an expert there. For editing, I start off editing on the Go Pro Quick app on my iPad. Cut the video to a short or pull my photos from a clip on the app. Then I typically put all my photos and videos into my iPad photos app. That way I can add any photo I took on my iPhone as well. Do any editing of the photos and videos for colors/lighting in the photos app. Then I use iMovie app (because it is free and pretty simple to make a video). Final Cut Pro is better but there is a fee. I’d start with free stuff. You can use magic movie in IMovie…it’s simpler but the videos/photos get cut and if you are picky (as you get better) the cuts aren’t as perfect as I would like. Here are two examples: Sorry these are made for family no entertainment or monetization :) Even more simple is using the Go pro app to make a movie/video. It’s similar to Magic movie just can do it all in one app. I think youn need the GoPro subscription though? I eventually bit the bullet and did that out of simplicity. iMovie and iPad edited video GoPro video |

(1) What is the most simple and effective mounting hardware? (2) Any operational tips for a newbie? (3) Any special software needed to organize data on the backend? |
