I think some soft stick on Velcro on the inside of the case should be enough to hold the button down! Lol

Yep - that damn rattle (especially with the Hero HD!) I only got around it by drowning out the rattles with the ITB's / exhaust or adding a (dodgy) soundtrack...
Good find on the button. I'll know for future!
Another mindless day at home .. so I set the camera up for some more time lapse !
Kinda forgot I'd used it a few times so the battery only lasted about an hour
One shot every 10 seconds (or was it 5?) until the battery died.
I love how the clouds have so many different levels and agendas .. also picked up an ambulance going in next door .. didn't hear that turn up ! :S

You could try making a hole in the outer casing so you can run an external microphone. On the Hero 2 that gives you the option of decent stereo audio instead of the poor mono from the inbuilt mic.
Surely a 'proper' video would use far more battery, taking, essentially 60/30 shots a second, not 1 every 5-60 seconds ?!
Mine's the HD Hero, so very old version - when it's running USB it doesn't seem to like to do anything else ? :S
Yeah, of course. I meant in terms of what you would actually want to timelapse. Usually if you want to timelapse something it will be something that lasts a long time, like stars over night so 8+ hours.
If you plug it into a PC it wont work, but if you plug it into just a charge cable it will still record.

Just gone to do that and I think it's working
I guess it sees a computer (or the comp sees it) and does things that just a power input wont.
Going to give it 30 mins and see if there's anything to adjust then go for an overnight one or something !

I noticed this noise on my Hero 2 and what I did was cut a piece of cardboard and placed it in the sliding / squeezing Clip bit and it's wedged in now , but it's as quiet as a mouse - none of that clicking noise over the recording.
I reeeeally want a GoPro but not convinced I'd use it enough.
Likewise, especially considering what the new ones cost.
That's why I went 2nd hand ...
1/3 the price of a new one (cos you'd only get a £350+ 3 Black, right?) .. and it's been immense fun already !!

Is it easy to transfer the go pro videos to the iPad? And then edit them with iMovie?
Don't know about iPad .. not sure it'd cope well with GBs of data to deal with depending what you were doing ?!

Well I think ive fixed it or at least improved it! I just added a bit of velcro on the inside of the case and it has made a big difference! Only been of a short drive around the block so will see if I still think its better after I have been on a longer drive!
Sorry its a bit blurry but you get the idea!
Nice one Jezza !

Will watch tonight .. Proxy-server needed here :/
Nice one, GEMA (German music something or other).
Yeah the video is not viewable in Germany. Few songs in it.
Which have you got Rob?
As stated in line one of the opening post .. HD Hero, Gaz
Does 1080p @ 30fps, 720p @ 60/30fps and lesser resolutions.
I'd guess it's 2-3 years old now but not entirely sure.

Seeing as I read the OP yesterday and have been on nights, it slipped my mind
I might look at getting a cheap 2 or something.

I spent a long time looking for a cheap Hero2, but they weren't that cheap.
I ended up finding a Hero3 Silver with £50 off that made it cheaper than buying a Hero2 and WiFi backpack and Diving case. When you add in the extra stuff the 3 comes with as standard it isn't that bad. The Black edition is stupid expensive and utterly pointless unless you are making professional videos though.
Check HotUKDeals, theres usually some offers on somewhere.
Edit: First hit on HUKD gives this, which is £70 off RRP - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=111012827524&clk_rvr_id=480683576362

That's not a bad price. What's the biggest SD card they'll take?
MicroSD cards ? That's a PiTA !!!
Yeah it is, I've loads of regular SD cards kicking around. Apparently at 1080p you get around 4 hours on a 32GB, that'll be plenty.
Gone and bought a 3 Silver anyway.
Also found this, saves paying for the privilege of recording whilst charging...

The 3 is quite a bit smaller than the 2 though. Swings and roundabouts.

Me and Heez made this at work from spare parts to go and get our lunch! Took it for its first ride this evening. Few things to sort out like the brake in the middle of the frame etc but getting there!

That last video is great. Lovely area too
Been messing about with all sorts of time lapse crap.
Decided to tidy the house and let the camera do its thing for about half hour (watch the clock on the back wall !!).
Sound + HD on as usuall !
