  • GoPro firmware update (finally released)

    http://www.goprocamera.com/support/hdheroupdate.php

    One Button Mode

    One Button Mode simplifies recording video and photos with your HD HERO. With One Button Mode, your camera will start recording video or photos automatically when you power the camera 'ON' and will only stop recording when you power the camera 'OFF'. The shutter button is deactivated in One Button Mode. You can only turn the camera on and off, making it the perfect setting for loaning it to friends or newbies.

    Upside Down Mode (UPd)

    Now you can take videos and photos with the camera mounted upside down without having to rotate the files later. In Upd, all videos and photos will be saved to your SD card right-side up.

    Live Feed Out

    Display live feed SD or HD video and audio straight out of the camera to a TV, handheld viewer, or video transmitter. Allows viewing a live video signal during preview, recording, and playback of saved files.

    Live Feed On-Screen Display

    Display battery life, camera mode, and recording status icons on your live feed video signal with 'On Screen Display' turned on, or turn it off to transmit only the video without any status icons.

    PAL 25/50 fps Support

    If you live in a PAL region (most regions outside of North America) you can now record in the PAL broadcast standard of 25 / 50 fps in the following resolutions:

    r1 WVGA 50fps
    r2 1280x720 25fps
    r3 1280x720 50fps
    r4 1280x960 25fps
    r5 1920x1080 25fps

  • USHPA Fall BOD meeting

    In Bend, Oregon, Thursday October 21st (Executive Committee) through the 23rd (Saturday)

    Some info (but not much) here. From looking at the USHPA web site, they don't do much to encourage members to show up to these BOD meetings.

  • 2011 Forbes Flatlands - room at the Apex Caravan Park

    In July, Neil and Jane at Apex Riverside Tourist Park <<jane>> wrote:

    After 23 years running the Apex Riverside Tourist Park we have finally decided to retire. At the moment it looks like we'll just move round the corner to the house we own at Flint Street. Who knows what things we might move on to from there? It will be nice to have some free time to pursue other interests after working 7 days a week for so long. We hope the new neighbours will enjoy our music sessions! The next few months are going to be a bit hectic as you might imagine. We'll keep you posted I'm sure.

    For those of you who are wondering, The Forbes Shire Council will be managing the Park from 1 Nov.

    Vicki Cain <<moyes>> writes:

    At the moment Neil has left the Tourist Park bookings open for the Forbes Flatlands dates but I’m not sure what will happen once the council take over. They may accept Elvis bookings, so I suggest that everyone gets booked in before 1st November.

    The new email address is <stay>.

    Jane and Neil are on vacation until Friday.
