GoPro on rides

[Scott_W]

Would this be alright to go on rides with or does it have to be the offical gopro wrist strap ?

Official one -

Thank you
Scott

I love my floaty as a general handle as well as being good when in the pool.

I used a non official strap and it was fine.

I just held mine, but t would have been nice to have a small hand grip to be honest.

Good to know we can use a go pro on the rides, thanks for the info.

Hi for new users just be mindful of other guests. Having queues for flight of passage all I could see was someone recording the ride on their go pro and it spoiled the experience. The guy was holding it out to his side in front of me.

Thats really bad! I think I'd have said something to the cast members and ask to ride again. I only ever record on coasters, no dark rides.

Hi can you advise what Apeman Action camera you use? I'm thinking of getting a action camera but don't want to pay the price of a GoPro as it will only be used as few times.
TIA Jill

Sorry not sure of the exact model! It was around £30 on Amazon, not the 4k one or anything. We've had it a couple of years so the models have probably moved on by now.
For things like taking on coasters and underwater filming it does the job. However the zoom is terrible and its no good in low light. The sound isn't great either. So we only tend to use it when we really need action footage, which sounds like what you want as well.
We bought an accessory kit from Amazon as well which I think was around £15 for loads of mounts and screws. Had to buy the wrist strap seperatley and it was about £5 on eBay.
