I've been working on a wearable boom and harness for #GoPro. Today was the second day out, and while it floats on rocky singletrack [above], it excels when the bike is in the air [lower]. All the motion lines smooth out leaving the subject crisp. New England in autumn is like riding between the brush strokes of an oil painting.

[Above] I wanted a decent mount for my GoPros and didn't want to spent $100 for a stick with a leash. I built this today from
plastic and silicone with stainless steel hardware and a 550 Paracord
leash. Looking forward to some ocean time this summer to get this thing wet.
I have been using GoPro cameras since 2004.
It's awesome to see how far they have come since their original wrist mounted model. I still have 5 of these original Heroes in the
original packaging. I have shot with GoPros under all sorts of conditions. There aren't many days I don't have one in my camera bag.

Looking forward to getting the GoPros into harm's way this summer. It's only January 3rd and I miss my bikes. Video at www.r7studios.com.
[Above] Here is a short video* clip from our trip to Adirondack Extreme yesterday. We managed to complete all 5 courses, but I have to admit that the end of Course 5 was one of the hardest physical efforts I have endured in a long time. I would rather run 13 miles over hanging 70 feet above the forest floor with arm muscles well past their aerobic threshold. I don't climb as much as I used to, so, 4.5 hours on the ropes course was a workout. It was a fun day and I'm stoked to able to celebrate my birthday doing something outside.
