GoPro Filter - DIY Kit

Here's an interesting tutorial by YouTube user BisdremisKostas on how to make your own DIY filter kit for your GoPro HD camera.



So this is a plastic adapter with Velcro straps that can accommodate a standard 55mm lens neutral filter or polarizer.

He also provides the Corel Draw file (.cdr) for you to download for free - get it here. Then you can take it to your local CNC machinery shop (milling shop) and carve out your own piece.

Shoot your outdoor adventures and keep your shots steady! :-)

How To Choose Your Sports & Mountaineering Sunglasses

Have you ever went outside and felt like the sunlight is too bright for you?

Sometimes this happens even if the sky is cloudy. This is either because your are naturally more sensitive to sunlight (green and blue eyed people are prone to photophobia) or you stayed in low light (indoors) for a prolonged time and your eyes can't adjust to the new brighter daylight.

In any case, having a pair of sunglasses is always helpful.

So here are some short notes about what you may wanna consider when choosing your sports and mountaineering sunglasses:

Interchangeable lenses and UV protection

If you enjoy outdoor activities, a pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lenses is a must. Basically, you get 3 pairs of lenses, each for a different lighting situation.

3 Reasons To Let Your Kids Go Climbing

One of the best ways to make your kid a responsible person is to treat him/her like an adult.

Now, I don't have kids of my own but I've noticed there's a difference in behavior when you treat the kids like one of your own (adults that is).

Me and my 12 year old cousin have been best friends since she was 5. When she was 6 years old, I took her with me on a 10 story building and she sat there enjoying the view while I was working on a billboard, hanging from a rope. Maybe I was was crazy (wasn't my child so why worry, right?) but I saw how my other young cousins develop with less permissive parents - there's a difference and not necessarily to the kid's advantage.

So one of the ways to actually empower your child is to let the kid go climbing and grant him/her the freedom to act and explore as if he/she was a full grown up.
