Polarized Len $15
Gopro Sucktion Cup Ram mount $30
I think I can get back my 32 micro sd card that i left the the galaxy S2 I gave my sister.

Any thoughts on rigging the gopro up to the 12v fishfinder battery?

Unless you're skydiving I would scrap the head strap. You'll get better footage if the camera is stationary.

Check the micro sd card, I don't know what others use but I would recommend a class 10.

anybody know if they fixed the problem with changing batteries (must you reset the date and time)? If not, and you don't plan on using it very deep, you would be better off with the battery bacpac.

The last time I checked which was about two weeks ago if you change out the battery it resets the time and date. With the back pack you get the new back door and at least your not chancing dropping the camera or getting it wet. Read up on proper sealing of the back door.

To get the 12v power, you are going to need a 12VDC to 5VDC converter - and it needs to be sea worthy. And that means you will have your camera out of its protective case to connect power. I advise against it.
The memory card needs to be a class 10 device since the camera needs to write lots of video data to it and fast. Be sure the memory card from the S2 has that capability.

I was acutally hoping to get a spare case and modify it to accept the USB cable while still in the case. Yes I'm possitive the card is a class 10.
