GoPro Fogging - annoying!

[Kamikuza]

The anti-fog (desicant) inserts work fine, but I keep forgetting to cut them up and put them in. Instead, I cut a little panel out of chamois cloth that fits into the back door - so far so good. And I can dry it out and reuse it easy.

The HD170 STEALTH is not waterproof. The HD170 is.

Yes but only to 0.5m. And no line mount

The GoPro anti fog strips don't work for shit!!!

I've tried wrapping the battery in foil, 3 strips, climate control, everything..........that f'in thing fogs on me constantly.

My Sanyo waterproof camera NEVER fogged. I'm really pissed about this.
It ruined 90% of my Hatteras vacation footage from the fall.

Poacher, I feel your pain!

yes, we had a topic, but I don't recall the paper idea...sounds good, will try that!
I bought those straps, but didn't really work...still fogged.

but next time will do with the fridge and paper!

How do you mount the Drift cam to a board or helmet?

Yeah I don't want to throw GoPro under the bus, but the fogging thing has to be rectified. I've actually sent mine back to GP to be fixed/replaced. Mine was randomly shutting off and not recording at all sometimes. Hopefully the new one works better and doesn't fog..........cuz I just ordered the LCD backpack thing too. I NEED this thing to work...

If you put a piece of 'aluminium paper' around middle back of your gopro.
The foog remain in aluminium paper... simple, silly & economic ....
but works perfectly !!!

What is aluminum paper? You mean a gum wrapper? (foil on one side, paper on the other)

I have never had a fogging issue, but perhaps I'm not using it in a high humidity air environment like Toby has in Brazil (I'm guessing). I know with all cameras you can't bring a cold one into a hot environment and expect it to be fog free, though.

aluminum foil for wrapping

Up the mountain skiing on Sunday, after the first of the runs, noticed a blob of fogging in the lens ... opened the case, it disappeared and was fine for the rest of the day. I've got my chamois door panel though and I had just taken it out of my pocket after I'd stomped up the hill from the carpark ...

Eytan do you have the Drift ?
Can you compare it to your Gopro HD ?
