Beautiful country there, we have some in the Sierras that is nice like that but that was really picturesque. I noticed that even with the quick shifter you would still shift what I call normally, was that just from muscle memory or do you only use the QS only when banging through the gears?

Also where was your GoPro mounted? it really looked and sounded great.

Have you ever used other cameras? I've been looking at the Akaso 4K cameras and they get tremendous reviews from previous GoPro owners as well as others. They even are supposed to work across all the accessories as well.

I decided to try an action camera with a chest strap mount. Will have to experiment with it once it arrives. I decided on a Yi4K camera, less money then most mainly because I am cheap and it get's decent reviews. Uses a Sony imaging system as well.

We'll see how it goes once I get it up and going.

Check around on the GoPro site; for a while there they were running a deal where you could get $100 off the GoPro Hero 5 by trading in your GoPro 4 (or older I think), in ANY condition.

I had a buddy of mine that took his GP4 into the ocean with the skeleton case on. Ruined instantly. Traded his in to GoPro, got the $100 discount, and then sold him my GP4 for $100. He's happy, I'm happy, everyone's happy!!

You might check Craigslist and see if anyone has a broken GoPro that they're selling for parts or something.

They actually have done some side by side comparisons of the Yi4K and the GoPro and most were very complimentary of the Yi4K considering the cost. I like the GoPro cameras but I just don't want to spend the money on something I may only use occasionaly.

How much is the Yi4k?

I had an Amazon gift credit of 83.00 so it was 116.00
