Here are some of the best shots of Rappy Freak's new MTD, as captured from my GoPro 3 Black, on board my Skywalker 1900.

The footage starts to get a bit foggy as the GoPro case started to fog up inside. I've got some of those anti-fog tabs but they're clearly useless... I've since bought a new "frame" case for the GoPro 3BE. This will save some weight and also get rid of the fogging issue.

enjoy

I got fed up trying to stop my gp fogging up and in the end I smashed the lense out of the case. Perfect!

Nice video. With regards to the anti fog things not working. Keep them in a bag with a pack of that silicon stuff used in packing, also bake them for 15 minutes in the oven every now and then. Been using the same anti fog inserts for the last two years for windsurfing etc.

I want to keep the waterproof case waterproof for other things I use the GoPro for... kayaking, canoeing, snorkelling etc...

The other option is getting a skeleton case for it, but I've decided to buy this instead:

When on the skywalker, it's not really in an environment where it needs to be waterproofed and the sunshade appears to give some level of protection for the lens in the case of a nose in. Also, it's much lighter than the original waterproof case

I bought a cheap knockoff case from banggood to 'modify' and saved the pucker one. Nice sun shade

apparently, the shade comes into view if the GoPro is set to "superwide" on the GoPro 4. the GoPro 3 only goes up to "wide" so fingers crossed it will be OK, if not I'll be chopping them down a bit.

You could say it was a little windy up there lol.
