| ->> Anybody ever hook one of these up on your monopod, and let it record video as you were shooting...more so for a football/soccer game. I was going to try it as an experiment for fun to see what some of the video would look like. Just wonder if any of high school sideline shooters have ever given it a try? Thanks in advance. |

->> I've used an unattended GoPro to record the starts of running races http://action.lung.org/site/TR?fr_id=8530&pg=entry
At secondary finish lines (half marathon relay teams) I have put up one GoPro shooting video, and another next to it shooting stills at one-second intervals using its built-in intervalometer. The GoPro has a very blue color cast and is extremely wide angle. Any up or down pitch is noticeable at the edges. |

->> I used to do this a lot 2-3 years ago...and sworn I had written about it on my blog, but hadn't. So...
(shameless plug alert)
Here I write about it: http://sportsphotoguy.com/digital-video-convergence/
I would Super-Clamp a small ballhead to my monopod holding a Casio FH-20 (later a Panasonic FZ200) which I could align more or less accurately with my Sigma 120-300. |

->> Does anyone have any advice for (a) Mounting the gopro without the waterproof housing in order to (b) Connect the gopro to a USB cable and charge while recording?
I'm thinking specifically of doing this in a car. |

->> Paul,
GoPro makes a frame that may be useful for what you are trying to do. Judging by the photos, you should be able to plug in a USB cable when it's on the camera.

| ->> The frame will indeed let you charge via USB while the GoPro is in use. I just set one up today for a time lapse. |

| ->> Chuck...that is awesome. That is the thought I had in my mind. Just some simple video from the game as I take photos. Thanks for that post :) |

->> A friend of mine owns this company and he makes cases for GoPros that are light and allow you to charge the GoPro with the case on it.
