Go Pro Hero 3 set up questions

[screamin_reelz]

Hey Guys.  I am a guide and tourney angler out of the north shore and I recently have bought a go pro hero 3.  I have a 64 GB memory card in it.  I was wondering if anyone with experience with these cams could tell me what frame settings would be the best for filming for the best quality to duration ratio.  Any information would be appreciated.  cheers guys tight lines

it really depends on what your doing (how the camera is mounted) and how long you need to shoot.  i have the silver edition and purchased the battery backup.  i always shoot in 1080p and with the battery backup i can shoot between 2.5 to 3 hours of straight footage.  if you shoot 720 it will increase, but i dont know by how much.  i also wear my camera head mount or chest mount,  the battery backup really helps with battery life.  you also should or could get the gopro app for your smart phone, if you have one.  what am i saying everybody has a smart phone.  the nice thing about the app (which is free by the way) is you can set up the wifi on your phone and camera and see what the camera sees on your phone, ie: if headmounted etc.  you can also start and stop recording from your phone.

of thats great info.  Without the battery backup how long do you normally get?

About an hour to an hour and a half, well worth the money
