The Contour Roam2 Camera Added to my Fly Fishing
As stated in my last post
I like to find and watch good fly fishing videos on the net. I recently found
some great fresh water videos dealing with warm water and cold water fly
fishing filmed by Carter Nelson who lives in South Carolina. He has mastered the art of filming his fishing trips
using a headmount camera. After getting some filming pointers from Carter last
week, I decided I would do some research on video cameras and found one I was
really impressed with on Amazon.
The Contour Roam2 on Amazon was reduced half price at 98.90 with free shipping. The main thing that impressed
me about this camera was the compact size and lightness. It attaches to your
cap or hat and wherever you point your head it films. Carter said the only draw
back to using a headmount camera is remembering to move your head slow as you
work an area.
I have thought about
filming some of my trips for years, but assumed it was just too much trouble. Using
this camera is a breeze, meaning some of my first trips this season will
probably have some video to share with you guys.
Awesome, Bill! Can't wait to see some videos!
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to see what you come up with Bill. I on the other hand don't want anyone to bear witness to my poor skills or clumsiness.
ReplyDeleteLook'n forward to watching something fishy and hearing about the new addiction.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to see how this works.

ReplyDeleteJust checked this morning and the camera has gone up to 115.00; glad I got mine when I did. Easy camera to use; but the filming will take some time to learn--up for the challenge---thanks for the comment
My first thought about this camera is similar to your former thoughts about such-- in my case, as a hiker/angler-- an extravagance, but I'll look forward to see how it works for you and I'll keep an open mind. Thanks for the introduction to it.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for your first feature.
ReplyDeleteWell, Bill, sounds like you have a new adventure and a goal for this year to along with all those Bluegill you search for each year. It should be interesting. I am sure you will keep us posted.

ReplyDeleteThis it the type camera you wish you had access to when one comes up on a big bluegill spawning area in the spring. Eight to ten minutes of video would be priceless. I thought of the video deal last year when I was in some of those monster bluegill bedding areas. Thanks for the comment
P.S. My Grandchildren one day could look back and see how Pops enjoyed his retirement!!!
Bill!Cant wait to see your productions. I hope it is a success for ya. I am sure it will be a great addition to your adventures!
