No wind makes for a pretty boring yacht race, so I used the time
on the water to test out what the GoPro could do.  All the
footage was shot 720p @ 60 and conformed to 25p in Cinema Tools.
The camera will also do 1080p which obviously looks even better
but is restricted to 30f.  I had it mounted on the end of a
telescopic paint roller handle from Bunnings which was a bit too
flexible but considering a lot of the footage (underwater and
above) was shot while traveling at speed, it did pretty well.
NOTE: A fair bit of image quality was lost during compression
because of Vimeo's 500mb upload limit.  Loading more stuff…
