This unit has an 1/8" outlet for AV.
So I can only do live to my computer, say, and as I progress along with the viewing probably take screenshots.
I've been trying it out at home... inside various acoustic guitars, mtbike handlebars and frames (through the seat tube), nooks & crannies around the house.
Funny... because the screen is in one hand and the lens in another, I keep wanting to adjust my point-of-view by moving the screen
But with practice, I'm getting the hang of it... sorta like using
electric clippers to cut my own hair and when getting around to the nape of the neck, using 2 mirrors and trying wrap (or warp as I first typed) my brain around
steering the clippers precisely where I want to cut!
I was at a local sporting goods store yesterday and spied a light rig for the GoPro. Selling for $100.00, with 3 L.E.D.s, waterproof do a decent
depth, and rechargeable like all the other modern
electronics.
I was looking for a decent dive light so I can use my GoPro and take a look at hulls on boats sitting in the
water (and yes, I'm aware of potential dangers
diving in the waters of
marinas ).
This unit can be stacked along with the GoPro onto a selfie stick so I have one solid unit instead of devices in both hands or attached to my body, my hand, my
head........
While it would be better to haul the boat out everytime... for my basic inspections, a peek underwater while filming will be probably be worth the effort. First time doing that, so we'll see. I used to clean boathulls down in SoCal for a 'living' while attending
commercial dive
school... DON'T DRINK THE WATER! hahaha
