Title: go pro coyote hunt?
Post by: demontang on December 25, 2015, 09:21:37 PM: Well I've finally got a go pro trying to figure out the best set up to film some coyote calling. Mount it on my ar or put it on a tripod?

Post by: NW-GSP on December 25, 2015, 11:37:51 PM: Forehead mount would be what I would recommend. Then its always looking where you are looking.

Post by: biggfish on December 26, 2015, 03:01:35 AM: Don't scope mount if you have a real high power rifle. My .270 win. makes some terrible jump. In all honesty you're not going to get much unless they get up close and personal, go pro and other action cams just have too wide an angle. Mounted on a shot gun if you're shooting within a 15 yds should get some great footage. Try watching Solo Hunter it might give you some ideas as to how to use your camera, and if you've got a video camera or a dslr with video how to incorporate the two for some cool clips. Not saying you won't get anything worthwhile with just a go pro, just saying don't get your hopes up too high I've been disappointed myself. But very fun to play with.

It reduces it and acts like a built in zoom, It focuses on [ ] instead of [ ] So you have a narrow fov. What gopro are you using?

Title: Re: go pro coyote hunt?
Post by: HardLoadHunter on December 30, 2015, 06:40:17 AM: try turning off the wide angle, other wise a coyote at 30 yds will look like its 100 yds away. good luck make sure you post the video!!

Post by: demontang on December 30, 2015, 10:29:38 AM: Well haven't made it out yet. Maybe I can get away Friday and try this thing out.

You can just shut it off in options. Also you can shut off the sounds. When I get home If i remember Ill take a photo of how my gopro is set up for hunting.
Painted camo.
Waterproof case.
Hole drilled in the side with external mic for higher quality sound.
So making it not waterproof but water resistant. Good enough if Im walking around in the rain.
