chasejarvis TECH: How to Pack, Prep & Travel with GoPro Cameras (<---bonus, also works for almost camera system)

I’ve been shooting religiously with GoPro cameras since they came out way back in the day. Love those little monsters. At a minimum, I travel with three or more Hero3’s for any shoot – I’ve just found they just come in super-duper handy for all sortsa great stuff. BUT…. taking into account mounts, memory cards, chargers, spare batteries and all miscellany associated with the GoPro and you’ve got yourself quite a load of gear to keep track of.

That’s why I’ve come up with a pretty tight little system for packing & traveling with my GoPros. The above video really gives the full insight, but all cooked down into a tasty little reduction, it smells something like this:

1. Find ONE bag/pack that can carry everything (for Belize I brought a Dakine Mission)

2. Separate gear & accessories into smaller pouches (ThinkTank little pouches described in the vid work nicely here)

3. Clearly label said bags (make the labels moron proof – and really visible in low-light / bleary eyes / tired person can read them without question)

4. Take EVERYTHING in this bag with you every time, regardless of shoot location – you never know when the need/opportunity for a funky mount may arise. (I know this might not sound like good advice, but trust me, it is. Take it from me, this is the only way you’ll ever NOT forget something random.)

5. Get creative. There are tons of ways you can mount a GoPro (see the egg-timer and scuba mask mounts in the vid), as well as clever ways to extend battery life. Use them all.

This vid above comes at you pretty fast, so feel free to ask questions and I’ll jump into the comments and answer. Got GoPro tips / thoughts / hacks of your own? Do share ’em.

    One of the most aggravating parts of doing laundry is getting your smaller delicates tangled up or stretched in the washing machine.
    During the summer, you can fold each dryer back up and hang them on a clothing rod for easy storage.

    Your website must supply a clear message with a goal-oriented direction, setting you apart from
    your competition. The simple truth is, people join MLM opportunities due to who introduced them.
    If you’re still at the loss, you can contact the consumer care team either by email, live chat, or
    phone during standard west coast business hours.

    And inside the course for these analysis, it emerges that each
    dollar spent inside the pursuit associated with an online degree is planning to increase
    one’s lifetime earnings several times fold. This business will likely be
    operated from the owner’s home and will probably be done
    entirely for the internet. it also can be employed for headhunting and employment.
