It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Ok.
If I order, worth getting the filter too then and trying it with or without.

Worth having for sure.. It just makes the colours better.. more realistic to what you see. Can't really chop and change it very easily tho.. it gets kinda stuck inside the lens.. I have two gopro cases.. one with one without ;)

That sounds like a smart move. Have a backup that way and potentially on different mounts.

The more I look at it the more I can see how the cost can spiral out of control. The camera is just the start. Good thing I don't have a 3D telly or laptop, as the 3D set up would probably be irrisistable.

Typical Ive literally just advertised my Gopro for sale on the goods for sale thread, not sure if you would of been interested in it.

Like you say, typical!

I got mine at Westcountry Water Sports in the end. They have a few spares there too for future refrence.

Been looking at lenses and stuff and considering ordering one of the flat lense housings from the US. Anyone know what the value of import is that doesn't attract duty?

anyone heading out falmouth way this evening? finished making my gun a few days ago and it still hasn't seen water... I'm also in tomorrow evening with a buddy at fiveish if anyone fancies it.

guy at seaways reckoned it might clear up, the wind is dropping this eve and the
sun's coming out according to the met, so it might clear up. Reckon it's worth a go. high tide is 630ish, so water will be fairly slack in the evening too. fingers crossed :) I will probably just go off the left hand reef at gylly and swim towards swanpool a bit.

Ok,ye fingers crossed,if your going thursday let me know i might see you there,last time i went to falmouth i went in at Mainporth beach and saw mainly wrasse,lots of big ones and one bass that i wasnt ready for,it looked like perfect flat fish ground but didnt see any.Im going up to Harlyn bay sat day time poss Fri as well,lots of flatties there,big ones last time.
 
Gents anyone that fancies a beer one evening between Thursday 15th and Sunday 18th myself, Jim and Tim will be staying at The Old Inn at Mullion The Old Inn - Mullion would be good to meet a few of the Cornish mafia for a chat. PM me and I’ll forward my mobile number so we don’t miss you.
Cheers fella’s

will u be spearing down there,i know the old inn well,im a musician and have been playing there for years regularly untill it changed hands last year,now he dosnt put much on at all.Cant say it ever much fun in there anyway,if the weathers right and your spear fishing i may come over,Thanx.
 
Yes we’ll be spearing, and if the weather stops play with the spearguns it’ll be out with the bodyboards.
Not sure what the pub is like since it changed hands but the previous owners had a really good evening menu and as I’m a hungry type of bloke that’s good enough.
Oh and they did a good pint there as well.:D
 
got in for an hour tonight, vis wasn't actually all that bad. M mate caught a nice 40cm ish pollock, and I caught my first bass :) (just about legal at 38cm!)
Chuffed as it is the first time I have taken out my new gun I made, will post pics and a little write-up in the DIY section at some point.
