Pirates Log - Helsinki
Being that two of the Pirates crew are from here, it was a no-brainer to make the most of local knowledge and hit up downtown to nail some streetstyle hammers for Hooked. Check it out to see how Teo Konttinen and Juuso Laivisto got on showing Kalle Ohlson, Erik Botner and Gulli Gudmundsson around their hood.
Review by C. Moon for Rating: I’ve had one of these units for almost a year now and I love it. It took me a cuploe tries to get the aim right on my ski helmet but when I did it captured sick powder and took my tip eating falls in stride.This spring I started using it for kayaking and I was super impressed with the image, no fog lens and waterproof nature of the whole unit. I took several gnarly swims and the camera captured everything.Some hints for success:1) Trust the double sticky Velcro that comes with the unit. It really does work2) Spend time with it, get used to it and know how to aim it before trying to capture the must have footage . I think it took 2 or 3 tries per helmet to get the aim perfect.3) When using the remote, set the audio beep as high as it will go so you can hear it.4) Keep the unit in your jacket pocket not in your backpack for warmth.5) Zip ties Use them and love them. One of the best features of the POV is that you can mount base plates on all your sporting helmets and leave them there while the camera c-clamp slides on to whatever you’re doing that day. Once you have your aim dialed in, zip tie the hell out of the plate and you’ll never have to mess with it.6) Purchase a set of AA rechargeable batteries They are great for 90% of your usage; It saves money and the earth. On long trips without recharge options I use the Lithium batteries and take lots of sets; 5 sets for a Grand Canyon trip and 5 2G cards.
