After a bunch of time on the Gopro 10 figured I'd share my thoughts on whats good / bad / etc

Appreciate it! Exciting, did you get a max lens mod too? Do you post your footage online anywhere?

No I don't have the max lens mod, I rarely use my Ugo line mount so i find it too expensive for the few times I use it.
90% of the time I use the Gopro with the bite mount and shoot short clips of nice loops and then post it in whatsapp group of my buddies.
In 3 weeks I'm heading to Bonaire and Curacao for a month, when I collect enough nice shots I will make a short video and put it on Youtube but I'm not that good at editing tho..
I totally agree with you, i've had the 3/3+/4/6 & 8 but the Gopro 10 is finally perfect in my opinion! Of course lighter is always better but we have to have something left to whine about :)

I did the same and never used a line mount until I got the max lens mod. Now that the footage automatically rotates with the kite to be right side up, its much higher quality, and i use a line mount more frequently (almost every session if its not super gusty or super light wind). But agreed, the mouth mount is truly the most versatile. Which one do you use? Looking forward to the bonaire / curacao video!
