Gutter camera

[rshandyman]

The only trouble is that my gutter vac has irregular walls and all dirt goes in those corners...

 

[Smurf]

irregular walls?

so it's not a stainless steel drum then?

 

[rshandyman]

No plastic.I meant not one simple shape cylinder moe like changing shape with corners and so on.

 

[rshandyman]

Hopefully you know what i mean

 

[Smurf]

yep I think I've see those sort used in hand car wash places /emoticons/wink.png

I wore my phone on my wrist all day today and it never range once.

Not too worry as I did look cool though /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[rshandyman]

It is from Mark-aquafed

 

[rshandyman]

You mean no phone calls?

 

[Smurf]

Nope not one thank god as holding my wrist to me ear might look a bit odd /emoticons/biggrin.png

Just move it around on your wrist (or gutervac pole) where you want it when wanting to view/operate a gopro via wireless connection & gopro app on a phone.

Looks good when I find a spare minute I will get that camera maybe from John Lewis as I have gift card.

Excellent smurf, thanks for posting. I think it looks even handier to have it on your wrist instead of gutter pole.

 

[Smurf]

Works well for me not just for gutter clearing as I've found out its a very handy way to carry around a smart phone too. /emoticons/biggrin.png

Battery charger works fine from mains power so now I have a total of 4 gopro batteries that should last me about 4 hours of viewing time via wifi. I'm now hoping the iphone battery will last as long with the gopro app running wireless /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[rshandyman]

can You get spare battery for i phone or it is build in?

 

[rshandyman]

never had one so cannot sayI do not like them./emoticons/tongue.png

 

[Smurf]

You can still get batteries for my old 3gs but I'm sure it will be fine for the type of jobs I do. Anyhow I use customers power with an extension lead for the vac so can also put things on charge too if I want. Which to be honest I often do especially when the wfp pump battery starts getting low as I normally at a deep clean job for a few hours. Not only that I have the option to charge stuff up in the van too if I want and me ipone is normally plugged in anyway as the van came with a hands free parrot system.

 

[Smurf]

I was given the ipone so cost me nothing /emoticons/biggrin.png

Quick update on positioning the gopro on my gutter nozzle.

I found having it on the top like this the camera can easily be bashed if not careful when bringing the gutter pole back down onto the ground

so I've decided to mount it like this instead now and see how it goes.

The view of the inside of the guttering is not really affected having it mounted this way

I have a job to do later on so will see how the gopro works in real time as will be my first attempt on a paying customers property.

Will then find out how good or bad it really is with the 1-2 second delay in the gopro app viewer on the iphone. /emoticons/biggrin.png
