Hey everybody, Bohus here for Fotodiox, and in this video we're going to look at the new
GoTough gear product line. This is gear that we've created expressly
for the GoPro family of cameras and they're everybody's favorite
action cam, they're mine as well. Now, if you saw yesterday's video, we had
a pretty awesome video that's all about the WonderPana Go.
It's like the baby brother to our WonderPana Pro Filter system,
except we've shrunken it down to fit on a GoPro camera.
Folks said you couldn't put a filter system on the GoPro camera, well, look
here it is. And to remind you the WonderPana Go is an
all-metal filter mount that bolts right onto the case, the case remains waterproof,
and then you can use any of our custom filters. There's the essentials
kit
that includes a UV filter, an ND8 filter and a circular polarizer
and a lens cap. There's also the underwater kit which includes these two
filters for underwater color correction and, of course, that includes a lens cap as
well.
We've got a great video all about that that you should take a look at but now let's
take a look at all the rest to the stuff that we've created for you and your
GoPro camera. One of the main features of the GoPro cameras
is that you can just mount them just about anywhere, and the camera
often includes these little plastic
arms and thumb screws and stuff so you can build a little rig, you know, putit on a
helmet, put it on your chest,
and that's where we're gonna start because we've created thumb screws for
the GoPro camera line,
and as you see they're all aluminum, they come in seven
fashion colors and they are built to take a beating! This is where
a lot of times your camera takes a bit of a pounding. These thumb
screws are all metal,
all-aluminum, and they're gonna take a punishment and look good doing it. Seven
colors,
so customize your rig, customize it for your team,
and we've got even more stuff in more colors I'll show you in a second. One of the
accessories we really like around here
is the SharkBite. Now, the SharkBite is both
a thumb screw wrench for screwing and unscrewing, also
it's a bottle oppener on the other side so you can celebrate after a long day of
shooting with your GoPro.
Around here I think people are a lot more interested in the bottle opener
side.
Also all aluminum, also comes in 7 colors
and this is something you just keep in your pocket all the time so that you can be ready
for,
you know sometimes these screws need a little extra tightening, you know, to make your
gear, make your rig extra tight, or sometimes you
overtighten it and you can't really get in there with your fingers, the rench is
perfect for that.
So remember that's the SharkBite, we're gonna have a special offer
with the SharkBite in just a sec. Okay so here's a scenario we've all run into with
our GoPros.
You build your rig, you put those extender arms together
but then you're done and the camera is facing the wrong way. And the reason why
is
each arm that you add turns the camera ninety degrees,
so you might have the the rig at the perfect length,
but then the camera's not facing the right way. That's where the GoTough extenders
come in. Okay,
we've got the extender ninety, and we've got just the regular extender right here.
The regular extender, it gives you an extra inch if you need it, you know, your rigs
not quite where it needs to be, you add an extra inch
and it does it without changing the direction of your camera,
Okay? So your camera's already facing the right way, you just add one of these extenders to
get an extra inch if you need it.
The extender ninety turns the camera another 90 degrees.
That so if you're in the scenario where you've built your rig, the camera's facing the
wrong way,
all you do is add this little guy, it's a little over an inch long, and you'll get your
camera
aimed exactly where you need it. And the beauty part is, the
tightening nut is built in. You can't lose it. Lots of times that little acorn nut
that comes with a lot of the accessories
you go looking for 'em cuz they fall off into the grass. Here it is built in, so there's
never a lost piece to go looking for.
So those are the extenders, also available in multiple colors.
Let's say you want to mount your camera right onto a tripod well thats
easy with one of our
tripod mounts. This interfaces with the little teeth
that come out of the original GoPro case. Put 'em right here,
there's your tripod mount. All-aluminum, seven colors
you've heard it before, you'll hear it again, cuz we've also got
aluminum mounts for the quick release system. You know the GoPro cameras have
this kind of clip-in
quick release thing. We've got em too in multiple colors
but it also has a tripod thread on here. A great scenario for this is you've got a camera
that's kind of a rover,
you know, you want to use it mounted on a helmet but you want to run over to a
tripod and snap it in so
you can capture the action. So the QR tripod mount is available,
again I'm gonna say it again: seven colors, all metal,
all durable and this is going to help you if you're a quick release kind of
person.
So you'll note, here's kind of a built up case we've got it with a couple of our screws,
got a blue extender got a blue mount, looks pretty sharp don't you think?
So now you've got your camera all geared up, but you need a place to put it.
Well we've got two camera cases for the GoPro camera:
single camera case, double camera case. Let's unzip this guy and see what you get.
Okay, you've got a mesh pocket to keep your accessories in here,
you've got a safety flap to keep your camera in its own safe compartment, keep the lens
safe.
Oh look, there's my GoPro 2 in there, you've got room for some accesories.
Now, this is a great reminder that these cases will fit any
generation of GoPro camera. In my case
I've got a GoPro 2 with a screen attached, and you'll notice that adds this
little extra button.
So if you feel like that's a little too tight of a fit in there,
the foam comes out in layers, you can actually customize each layer with just
a pair of scissors or a matte knife or something like that if you want to get
it
to be an even more custom fit for whatever your particular
GoPro setup is. Let's take a look at the double CamCase.
Bigger mesh pocket, safety flap, oh, and there you go,
we've got two generation one HERO cameras in there. Fits any
generation of the Hero camera, you've got room for accessories and all that,
keep it nice and safe. This is a soft shelled case but it has
structure to it, so you can just throw this right into your backpack
and keep your camera protected and have your accessories handy too.
Okay, so you've got your camera stowed, ready to take to the shoot, but
let's say you need a little bit of rig action?We've got two rigs
for you,
this is the GoTough grip. It's got a foam handle,
the camera mounts right here, you've got a quarter twenty tripod
thread there,
so you can use it with any camera you like. We've got one of our GoTough tripod mounts
pre-attached.
Pop the camera on there, and then you've got a
cold shoe for accessories. You can put a digital recorder up here,
or you put a light up here. You know that those GoPro cameras can benefit from
having a little extra light
and by having it in this kind of compact rig configuration
you keep your hand in the action because it's so small. Also, a quarter twenty thread
on the bottom,
pop this on a tripod. What I like to do is have a a quick release plate down here
so I just snap it onto a tripod really quick and walk away. One nice thing is
we've got a bundle deal
for the GoTough Grip, you can either get the grip on it's own or you get it with the tripod
mount for GoPro
and the light included at a special bundle price on Amazon.
Just click down below to see. We've got bundle deals for the cases as well
they include a bunch of mounts and screws and things like that. Again, click down below
and we've partnered with Amazon to create some special bundle deals
just for you. Okay, we've got one more rig to take a look at.
This is called the wedge and
it's part of the GoTough line, you can use it with any kind of camera. Now there are
more than
30 places to mount a camera or an accessory on this guy,
and you can also assemble it in a whole bunch of different ways,
including making this narrower if you want. We've got a full assembly video
that you'll want to take a look at to take
a really detailed look at the wedge, but it's a very versatile two handed rig,
keeps your picture nice and steady, and the best part is, it collapses down into a couple
parts that you can easily slip into a
camera bag or a backpack. Okay, that is a look at the entire
GoTough line. We went nuts creating stuff for the GoPro camera
because really the camera is one of the most exciting cameras to come along,
wether you use it for high quality stills or high quality video,
it's a versatile little camera that we hope we're kind of helping out to be even more
versatile
and a little more stylish with all the colors and stuff.
