Thanks dude. Nah it was shot at 1280 x 720 at 50 frames..
I used an editing software called twixtor for the slow mo.. its a plug in for after effects. you can turn your 50 frames into anything you want - even 2000 frames.. it essentially creates frames inbtween frames to give you the desired amount.. dosent work for all shots.. too much movement dosent work, or a cluttered backround. Best to use as clean a backround as you can, lke the sky etc..

When do you have a show on SuperSport lol.

Is it just my imagination or did I see a small grasscarp in the video?

Thanks mate. I actually got mine from the states.. but you can pick them up here in SA at most good camera shops and even think that sportsmans warehouse is selling them now as its an action and sports camera.. they are selling for about R4000 here in SA for the new go pro (Go Pro Hero 2). for the whole package -camera, battery, underwater housing, and a whole bunch of different mounts for different uses..

How deep does the housing allow the camera to go?

Anyone used it when diving?

yea, I know its become a bit cliche ever since it was used on "Jeb Corliss video - grinding the crack" but it become our theme song for our weekend trip away, hence the reason I used it :D and its such a cool song :D

From GoPro...
The camera housing is rated waterproof down to 197’ ft (60m), and our head strap mount is a great way to wear the camera on your forehead, just above your diving mask. Please note that due to the curved lens of the HD HERO2 (and the original HD HERO) waterproof housing you will notice a slight loss of sharpness with underwater images. This is because the HD HERO2’s waterhousing glass lens is optimized for maximum field of view and sharpness above water while maintaining the smallest possible size.
