Adam I'm happy to lend my GoPro for the cause, although it's not HD, I can also bring some extra mounts if someone wants to film on river and doesn't have one. Just please add a healthy supply of Lithium triple A's to your shopping list. They're not cheap and this camera eats them like candy.

More water, please.

Thats great. Will you be coming up this weekend or do we need to connect beforehand? Does yours only take the triple A's or will it accept the rechargable battery as well?

I'll probably get out there some time Friday night. Runs on 2 triple A's, no rechargeable.

That will work great. Find me at the campfire and please mark yours in some way so we can get the correct camera back to you. I'll pick up some batteries.

I don't see why someone couldn't use rechargeable triple AAA's in the thing and cycle thru 2 pairs.

Leif and you need to learn to keep you paddle blade high and away from the other kayakers head and eyes. It should be automatic to keep the blade away from other peoples head and eyes or you guys are going to seriously injure someone. Better to lose your balance and roll then take out someones eyes with a blade...I know Blair already damaged my left eye with a blade.

Does anyone have a tripod and mount they could bring? I just picked up a bunch of flat mounts and a few others. Also any suction cup mounts would be great.
Infact if people could bring whatever mounts they have we can make this work out awesome.

Not sure that would cover it. Does that mean if I don't buy them I can expect meanness (is that a word) the whole weekend? Caus I'm OK with that.

I haven't been able to get a replacement part for my GoPro. Still broken needing the attachment mount. Hey James, why don't you just take advantage of REI's return policy, buy a bunch of GoPro's get your videos footage, then return them?

If anyway IS going to REI Seattle today/tonight, let me know. You could pick me up something and I'll return the cash tomorrow in Leavenworth.

Hey James, why don't you just take advantage of REI's return policy, buy a bunch of GoPro's get your videos footage, then return them? That would be abusive and I enjoy my patronage of REI. I would prefer not to damage the integrity of my self or their return policy.
