So I received my GoPro 3 Silver and need to purchase a card or maybe 2 cards (?) along with extra batteries and extras like a case and mini tripod etc.
I will be using this camera for canoe trips of up to 2 weeks solo and would like to make video's of the trips, along with family and home life, hunting, fishing, canoe shop, old truck restoration...
I look at the Best Buy web site and there are a bunch of options. Rather than buy one 64gb class 10 card should I buy 2 32gb class 10 cards? Will two 32gb cards be enough for all the wasted filming needed on a solo trip? I will be learning and plan to shoot alot to see what works and what doesn't, so I would assume 2 cards are a safe bet.
Are Sandisk cards fine for this application.
I see that Wasabie sells 2 batteries and a charger for $24, would two of these (4 batteries) be reasonable for this much remote filming where there is no charging available?
Will I need a solar panel charger or should 5 batteries cover a trip?
Finally (for now), what options should I look at. I can make some mounts from on line tutorials, but I see some neat little tripods that seem they would fit right into this type of application. Any experience here? Do I need flotation, I see they sell attachments that stick to the back of the waterproof case, I dropped a fishing pole over the side this year, so I am a little concerned.....
Do I need a small case, I like to travel light and anything the size of a Pelican case would be too big. I was thinking a small case I could cut out the foam for camera and attachments or any other ideas.
Thanks for any help you can offer. There is lots of info on YouTube but not from canoeist's.
