Buy a jet ski mount and align it up before you set off.

No concerns about taking it underwater but im wanting to film tennis matches. But without seeing it in a screen im not sure how to determine if i have the full shot of the court or not if you get me.

I always post seriously. The sooner people realise this the better for the forum.

When im filming the reef i will have it in my hand so its just a case if pointing and shooting. But when its filming a tennis court i have no idea how to know if ive done it correctly and got all the count dimensions in the shot.

For that purpose get a video recorder. Simple as that really as a GoPro is more for first person action and mounting.

I have an original GoPro HERO. I use it mostly for underwater filming whilst I am diving. You can buy a LCD screen that attaches to the back of the GoPro and you can see what you are recording, play back your recording and search your photos.

It does drain the battery a bit quicker but it is easily turned off when you have the correct shot lined up.

Highly recommend this bit of kit!

I can email some photos/videos from diving to show the quality from the OLD model which will be enough to convince you that the newer models with better light sensors, etc, are the ones to get!
