Go Pro

OK, I did not intend to hijack the thread, so I emailed my contact at GoPro and he said:

"Yes, we'll be offering a great package discount at the show. Tell them to come by our booth. "

Do you mind saying who your contact is?

fyi - I can't remember the actual discount percentage, but it's significant. Last year we bought a wi-fi back for the GoPro just before leaving for OSH. First day at OSH we visited the GoPro truck, and it was much cheaper than what I'd paid. Lesson learned......

TV Technology magazine has a resent article on point-of-view cameras, some pretty cool stuff available.

That looks ridiculous. Buy a Looxie instead. Much better and much lighter

I think you might have better luck trying to find a good deal online. I'm not sure how serious the discounts at Airventure are, but you can find some very good deals online if you just look hard enough.

Any know the percent or price discount at OSH. Are we talking like 10% or 40%? Also do they loan out camera's for the day?

Gosh that would be a good idea. I ended up buying a Canon digital SLR back when they were a sponsor and would loan out cameras (I had a D1 to play with which was like a $10K camera at the time). Frankly they'd have sold me more, if they'd continue the free trial of things like long lenses, etc...

Gopro emailed me back and said they do not do rentals.

What are the FAA regs on mounting cameras externally to aircraft there. We were informed recently here in Australia that one needs a engineers OK ($$$) to mount a camera anywhere on the outside. Since their recent popularity CASA here are starting to troll you tube etc to enforce this rule.
