woodcock1 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I recently purchased an older model of gopro camera called a hero 960. I got my first chance to try it out at the weekend while after a woodcock. Im happy enough with it but think the quality could be better as the birds are difficult to see. Im using a 16gb sdhc memory card which is only class 4, maybe I should replace it with a 10? I dont know if this would help or not. Anyway it here for all to see.

Duffryn Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm not sure if you can set the field of view on a goPro 960 but that's the issue your having with the birds looking to far away/ difficult to see. Have a look on the menus and see if you can find an FOV setting and change it to M or N. Great shooting by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodcock1 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks Duffryn, hoped you would have a suggestion but unfortunately this is a very basic model and is fixed fov. I see how that is affecting the footage though. It was uploaded from windows movie maker. I tried using gopro's own software but it stopped responding a couple of times and I changed to movie maker which was all ready on my computer. I will hopefully upgrade to a better version next season. This gets me started for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Great footage woodcock1, it's the first time I've seen gun dogs at work. I get invited now and again to walk up shooting but I usually decline. Next time I'll definately go with them by the way it's good to see you picking up your empties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Good bag mate and nice to see proper rough shooting on here👍. Weather is still very mild and I am down on what I would normally have shot by this stage. It looks like you are hunting high ground which is probably helping.

sako751sg Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 A wee bit of heaven that ground fella.Good shooting and Molly looks on the ball from that clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam f Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Excellent! Really enjoyed that. What a wonderful piece of ground. Very envious. Defiantly consider a GoPro3 they enable you to film in full HD with a host of other options. With ground, shooting, dogs and birds like you have they deserve the upgrade!

woodcock1 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I think i will stick with this one the rest of this season and try upgrade to a black edition hero 3 next year. Always inspired by duffryns videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodcock11 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Just seen. Not much wrong with the video or with your shooting and the springers are ACE. As always, we only seemed to get woodcock in here in County Down towards the very end of the season. You have good ground up there - do you see any snipe at all? It looks possible with the rushy bits. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePestControllers Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Really enjoyed watching that video and its always good to see dogs working. Brilliant I use a Contour Roam 2 if you look at my pigeon and crow shooting videos you can see if its any better than what your using not sure it is. the videos are on youtube (ThePestControllers) i was thinking of getting a Drift Ghost because they have a 4x or 6x zoom feature but not made my mind up yet. but nothing wrong with your video whatsoever i found it very relaxing to watch.

woodcock1 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 is that in and around,monkton thats just up the rd from me,nice shooting. Im not sure where Monkton is but i assume we are in differing areas. This was filmed in Co Antrim N Ireland Really enjoyed watching that video and its always good to see dogs working.

Daz I have since upgraded to a gopro hero 3 which is much better suited to the job. However due to the huge increase in quality and video size my computer is no longer able to cope and refuses to work with the hd footage. Now I need a new PC to go with my camera upgrade. Just seen.

You have good ground up there - do you see any snipe at all? It looks possible with the rushy bits. All the best There wouldn't be many snipe in that area, I would flush maybe a dozen in a visit. It quite high ground in terms of altitude. However I live down in the lower Bann Valley and there are plenty of snipe down here. I used to shoot them a lot, but to really set the bar high I always used a side by side in .410 guage. I shot a few right and lefts with it over the years which is always satisfying. I don't shoot snipe anymore as I no longer eat them. Great sport though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
