I'm loving the GoPro camera had mine 2 weeks
http://youtu.be/pr6hOKp8gEM
Cheaper than the ones the gutter vac suppliers are selling ;)
-
Yeah i have lots of plan for it ;)
Loving it :D
-
Nice vid stu - who says gutter vacs don't work ?!

What sort of clamp do you use for that? Looks like it's attached to a Gardiners quick loc.
Also what are you using as a monitor?

Clamped on a normal wfp using this http://grippatank.co.uk/vacuum/high-level-vacuum-poles-kits-spares/survey-camera-kits/3082/gopro-roll-bar-mount-detail.html
Moniter is my iPhone or iPad
The camera has it's own wifi and using the GoPro app I can see what's in the gutters and record
-
So why are the gopro white so much cheaper than the black?
I know nothing about them but could use one on my cycle rides too. :)
-
You get more bang for ya buck with the black.
Wifi
£80 wifi remote.
Mega pixels are higher.
Other stuff as well.
I use a roll bar mount and a Gardiner quick lock angle adapter. I also have a lanyard on it. As simon from concept recommended that.
I use an iPhone or my ipad. The idea was everyone has iPhones at work. So can they use their own :)
-
Interesting thanks. Are you sucking with the camera attached or do you use a camera pole? Do you mount your iphone to the base of the gutterpole?
-
I don't do the gutter vac work but you can use it while using the gutter vac as I made an attachment for that as well.
Usually check gutters before and then after. Record if needed.
Last job I was on camera and had my dad on vac. VERY quick way to work!
-
Bought mine a black 3+ about a month ago and over the moon with it.
Much clearer than others I have used :)
-
So all you need is a Go Pro white or black, a mount to secure it to a pole and an Ipad/tablet or smart phone with wifi. Is that it? Sorry for being 'uneducated'.
-
Yeah the camera puts out it's own WIFI.
SO you can even link it to the customers phone lol.
As long as phone has wifi or tablet you are ok.
You get a free APP as well.
I would look at the silver or black. But having used the black I would really recommend the black.
-
GET THE GRO PRO FOR 25% on amazon.

Can you use Android phone, and what is the battery life like ?
Thanks.
-
2.5 hours they say.
SAJ that ain't a plus? You can buy the black plus for the same money.
-
Just been looking at Currys, but they are out of stock ::)roll
-
Amazon should be cheaper
-
Its important to get a good fast SD card for these cameras. We tried a few but this one works great.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexar-Class-UHS-I-Memory-Reader/dp/B00HQCU3CK/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
But i paid £28.99 from amazon about 2 weeks ago!
-
Is there a time delay when live recording ?
-
About a second or so.
One thing is. The live preview is
Not HD it's good but not HD
Recording is HD.
If your record rhen watch back I still think it's non HD
-
Thanks for the info, it is a bit confusing looking at the different models to choose from.

Just the hero 3 as needed one ASAP (local supplier let me down >:( >:( >:() and nothing else available in Plymouth >:( but for the £300 I got loads of extra mounts, spare battery and the remote so not a bad deal really ;)
-

So far mine has lasted 2 hours but I have a spare battery in the van and swap over then charge the other one while working using this http://www.hobbymounts.co.uk/shop/GoPro-Hero-Accessories/GoPro-Hero-Dual-Battery-Charger-AHBBP-301

Cheers for the link, I'm only using a 4GB at the mo :(
-
Is there a time delay when live recording ?
Yes 2/3 seconds but sometimes easier just to record then view the footage back, as I've found out if I'm looking at the live stream on my phone I'm not looking where I'm going!! ;D
-
Just remember if you buy one (well the one I bought) it will need to be updated via a computer on the GoPro website ;)
They take some getting use too but really good fun to use and customers are really impressed with this sort of setup and the fact you can show them the footage 8)

Hi
Slightly off topic
Please can you tell me what vacuum cleaner, piping and generator you use.
Is this equipment carried with you in the van or is it taken to site especially for the job requirement.
We have got to get off ladders for these occassional gutter jobs we get.
Thanks
-
Morning Spruce
We use this for the piping http://www.omnipole-systems.com/guttervac/OP-Vachose15mx50mm.html
The vac is http://www.omnipole-systems.com/guttervac/OP-GV240Volt.html
Poles and accessories are from here http://grippatank.co.uk/vacuum/high-level-vacuum-poles-kits-spares.html
Not got a Genny yet but will be getting one of these http://www.justgenerators.co.uk/pages/Stephill_6500HM.htm
I was carrying it in the van but quickly stopped that! Equipment only goes in the van when need now.

Thoroughly recommend Stephill genny also. They're local to me, and the set up we use has been faultless.

Pure H2O,
You posted a pic of your dual volt gauges on another post, just wondering where you got the black and yellow labels from.

Looks like he used a Dymo LetraTag with yellow tape. Tape comes in different colours. See YouTube under Dymo LetraTag

How do you send the video to a customer, can you include it in an email ?
Thanks
-
I would imagine the file to be too large. You would do far better hosting on a free site like photo bucket and just giving them the link

We upload ours to YouTube and email the customer the link

It sounds a good idea but I think that sometimes we can give a customer too much information.
Some gutters are free running and other's aren't. What does your customer think when he/she sees a video of you cleaning and charging for a virtually clean gutter, even if the gutter on the other side of the house was chock-a-block?
If you do send a copy to a customer, then I would tend to send it of the end result rather than of it actually happening.
But not having this equipment doesn't make me an expert in these matters, its just an opinion. ;)

That is the best scenario.

Burn it to a CD/DVD and give them something nice to watch instead of the sh!te that's on tv at the moment? ;)
Just a thought.
;D
