GoPro 1080p meets Pine Marten up close

[GetCarter]

Here's a very squashed 15mb vid of the Pine Marten that's eating me out of house and home. Taken with the GoPro it looks absolutely stunning in HD on the TV. I am really impressed by this little camera.

I'm also impressed by what the Marten does at the end of the vid. I've known drummers with less intelligence (most of them actually).

thats pretty much how I transport food too! Nice vid - never thought of using mine to see what the wildlife gets up to...

[Bacardi]

S/he's a cute little fella. I'm impressed you went to the trouble of making a selection of little sandwiches complete with the crusts cut off. Afternoon tea at the Ritz, Scottish style, for posh Pine Martens .

Well there are three that come to our house every night, so feel free to get in touch (though it being July, bring a midge jacket or you won't last 5 minutes!)

Nice vid, clever little chap with the bickies at the end too

[Fordo]

Good vid! clever little chap. Its quite a feast you lay on for them

does the gopro have a motion sensor to start it recording, or do you just leave it running?

[GetCarter]

Left it running. Does over 2 hours on a charge and is waterproof, so apart from Pine Martens nicking it, it's an easy option. It'll do time lapse pics as well as vid. Fun bit of kit.

I should add that with a Mac its a breeze, but with a PC you'll need to have HD editing software to run (Latest Movie Maker will work - though (as always with MS) it's hard work)

This is the one I have http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&pr...

Great vid Steve

Have you seen the 3D housing? it allows 2 HD units to be placed side by side to create a wide angle 1080p steroscopic image, should be out sometime this year.

I can see a new hobby

Ah Mr Carter, with these custard creams you are really spoiling us.


Excellent stuff. Are you doing this again to potentially get a visit by Kate Humble

[GetCarter]

With my luck I'd get Bill Oddie

Were you in Dingwall on Thursday?

[GetCarter]

I was. Was it the number plate or 'Sad Git' on my back that gave me away?

Plate!

Slightly parallel to the topic but I thought this collection of GoPro recordings was somewhat impressive.

The participants are, of course, all completely barking.
