GoPro at WDW?

[MissRoseRed]

Has anyone used their GoPro camera at WDW? If yes, what mount did you use and how did the cast members react?

I've seen a couple videos on youtube of people wearing the head mount on California Screamin' - now, the CMs usually tell me to remove my baseball cap on the coasters, so I can't imagine they would let me wear a camera strapped to my head...

I just bought the wrist mount, but, because of the way it's positioned (facing the side, rather than your knuckles), I think it would only work on something like RnR, where you have the shoulder restraints and your hand up on them.

I fully intend to wear my GoPro proudly attached to my head for park walkthrus, but I'm still trying to figure out the best ride strategy.

(I will also have my Canon T1i, my Kodak Playsport & my iPhone camera - I think I may have a problem...)

Thanks!

I haven't done it yet. I took a pair to Elitch Gardens in July. I used a chest mount and a wrist mount. Both had advantages and disadvantages. I wouldn't trust the regular head strap to stay on during rides.

I plan to take one or two with me to Disney and Universal this October. I'll be sure to post the results.

You can see are few Elitch Gardens videos here:

Nice! That bungee one was intense

It'll be fun to experiment with it at Disney
