FUN!! We nearly lost a GoPro to some steel spall while taping the first webisode of GearScoutTV on the range today! Look for our report on a yet-to-be-released optic on GearScout Monday morning.
We mounted the camera to a steel target and shot away. We checked for damage after the first few rounds and found minimal spray. We adjusted the camera for a better angle and continued shooting without putting any rounds in the camera. Woohoo… we thought. Until we walked up to grab the camera. Although I didn’t shoot the thing, the spall from the rounds hitting the steel shredded the case and peppered our Manfrotto Magic Arm. The GoPro lens protector and case are done, the camera is fine and we got a cool shot.
