Hello! Today Bob and I are going to be trying out the GoPro
go Fetch harness for our GoPros
aren't we Bob?! That's right!
AdoramaTV presents, Capture the Action with Martin Dorey.
Hello I'm Martin Dorey and this
is Bob the dog and you are watching AdoramaTV.
Now today we're going to be testing out the GoPro
go Fetch dog harness. Now when I first saw this I couldn't believe it and I
had to get one
simply because Bob here likes to take himself off on
wonderful clifftop walks and likes to go exploring the beach
and I thought this would be the perfect way to capture just what he sees.
So let's go off on a little adventure, but first
we need to put Bob in it.
So, the GoPro go Fetch dog harness comes
with two plates, as you can see we've got a chest plate here
and a backplate here,
it straps in with elastic straps
which are adjustable so you can
work out just what your dog needs and it will fit
almost any type of dog now that the chest plate is
removable which also means you can work it with just
the back plate if you want to.
They you go, he's in. So you can see we've got a couple of options
we've got the back plate which means you can shoot forwards, if you
really wanted to you could shoot backwards although I can't think why you would want to
and then the chest plate,
ok he's not going to sit down, the chest plate will shoot
going forwards.
Now, your go Fetch mount comes with a vertical mount which means that you can
mount the camera
on the chest plate
looking forwards and it means that you'll get a really great angle
looking under Bobs chin as he sniffs about and
heads off on his adventures. The other angle
on the back plate
this is the best angle
facing forwards. Now that the harness also comes with a little leash
so actually if you're worried about your dog knocking your camera off you can attach it.
Ok, this is the best angle
the thing about this angle is that you look over the head the dog so you'll see
exactly what he sees as he runs along.
You alright there Bob?
He looks like he really hates it
but trust me, when he gets out on his walks he'll forget he's got it on and you'll soon see him disappear off.
The thing I really love about this harness is the fact that you can get
these
amazing angles that you would never know normally see when you're taking your dog for a walk
however, you know, you do have to be careful
of the fact that the dogs are animals and they do move and they will move
you know as they run, and so your go Fetch harness
isn't the most stable camera platform, and for that reason
I would recommend that you shoot at a high frame rate, so 60 frames a second
or a hundred friends a second, you can then slow it down
and capture his amazingly graceful runs with his ears
flapping beautifully in the wind and it'll be a really lovely smooth shot
otherwise you can tend to get that kind of wobble as they walk
but it's a great thing and I really love it.
It's a fantastic shooting platform and it will give you a great angle, however there is
one tip that I'm going to give you for shooting dogs
now this, another GoPro
with a roll-bar mount
attached it to a stick, throw the stick and just watch the footage, it is lovely!
