I read the owner’s manual and one thing I don’t like is you can’t change it from recording mode to picture mode with the waterproof housing on. I’m assuming (and it’s a question I’m asking Hammy) if you wanted a still shot from a fishing trip you could capture it from the video using the software supplied…am I correct. Is the GoPro setup the same way?

I’m also curious about the battery life.

I know if you have a Mac and use iMovie you can do that....don't know about other software.

Goreds, the remote control has a video and a picture button it. I have not tried it in the wp housing. I'll let you know.

cool little camera there Hammy, i recognized right away the Tullahoma Walmart and Lowes Lol!! and to top it all off, you were listening to my favorite radio station for talk radio, I tell you what, you want to find the truth of all what is going on out there listen to Ralph Bristol, Michael Del Giorno and ol' uncle Phill Valentine!!!
I'm thinking about getting me one of these cameras, great value for the money!!

[Hammy]

TS, as close as you are you should recognize those places.

I have showed photos/videos to 4 buddies and they have all ordered one of these cameras.

My only unanswered question is how long this battery will last in record mode.

I have a gopro 2 and think that the video quality on your camera may be as good if not better.. How is the editing software on that camera?

I recognized Tullahoma too.. Dunham sports is one of my favorite stops out there.

Fw, what is the mega pixel of your Gopro? This one is 12.1

I have not looked at the editing software that came with it. I will have just used what ever is on my laptop. I will install the supplied software from Vivitar and report back.

Well i installed the editing software from VIVITAR.

My opinion........... it's the worst I've ever used.

I use a free program called Photoscape ( I think it was free or least real cheap )

Thats not what I wanted to hear. Keep us posted in the battery life.

[Hammy]

There are plenty of free editing software available from reliable sources. Photoscape is free at ( www.photoscape.com ). Also windows comes with video editing software.

I will set the camera up today and let it run to check battery life.

It looks like battery life for the Vivitar DRV787 is a little better than 2 hours on video mode.

Is that battery life pretty consistant with other cameras?

I have nothing to compare it to. Maybe someone will chime in.

The Gopro battery is good for about 2 hours. It's not bad if you have the wifi remote and only use it when needed. I'm going to try to alter the housing so I can keep it plugged in when I go deep sea fishing again in June.
