GoPro problems

January 18, 2012 forum topics
I was mounting a Go Pro onto a crane to get some wind turbines hoisted up to a water tower for that extra angle. (I also shot with my camera from the ground and the top of that water tower) The red light blinked like it was recording, but when I took the camera off of the crane, and hooked it up to my computer, there was nothing on it. There were problems with the first lift, the turbine was spinning out of control, so I had to wait 45 minutes with the camera still rolling up there (supposedly) while they went to get some lead ropes to keep it from spinning. I called the client at the worksite and told him that i dunno if the GoPro is gonna have anything because they didn’t want to lower the crane to stop recording, and I might run out of card before they do a proper lift. The client said not to worry, it’s just an extra angle, But, there was absolutely nothing on it. I am upset about it, I called my client, but he didn’t pick up, I sent him an e-mail explaining what happened. I don’t know what else to do, but I am freaked out about it anyway.

I already got paid for the gig.
