I participated in a 3-day/2-night photography experience organized by GoPro, an action cam company. The setting was Kohama Island, Okinawa Prefecture. This time, we used the GoPro HERO11 Black, which was introduced in September 2022, various mounts and accessories, and Quik, an application that allows users to edit videos shot with the GoPro and control the GoPro. We were able to test the GoPro in marine activities where it is prone to water, and we also filmed snorkeling underwater using accessories that allow the GoPro to float in the water. Now that summer is just around the corner, when we can look forward to playing in the water at the beach or in the river, we hope you will take a look at the GoPro’s unique activities at the beach.
Using the Latest GoPro Models on Land After receiving lectures from the “YASU Family,” a GoPro-certified video creator and GoPro family member, and Yasuhiro Yamashita of GoPro, the participants experienced electric mobility to move around the hotel grounds in order to familiarize themselves with its operation. A GoPro is attached to the handlebars of an electric kickboard. The key point here is the various attachments that are available for GoPro. The best way to attach a GoPro to the handlebars of a bicycle or electric kickboard is to use a “handlebar/seatpost/pole mount. The base of the camera can be rotated so that the camera can be pointed toward you for selfies or outward to capture the scenery while riding. In addition, there is an extensive lineup of attachments for all kinds of mounting options, including a “3-Way 2.0” arm that can be extended for both land and water use and a “Chesty” that can be used as a tripod, a harness to attach a GoPro to a pet’s back, and a GoPro on the chest. In addition, there is the “Volta” attachment that is useful for GoPro shooting on land. It can be used as a battery grip to charge the GoPro while shooting, tripling the battery life of a standalone GoPro from about 4 hours to about 3 hours. Volta is a great tool to have when you are out and about. However, please note that the USB Type-C port of the GoPro is exposed when the Volta is attached, so it cannot be used underwater. If you plan to use Volta near water, be sure to carry an attachment for underwater use and a side door that does not expose the USB Type-C port.
