GoPro + Flasher

[Fred_Bear]

Can you get a GoPro to show what a flasher is actually reading? I took a video and it just showed random blurps of the flasher rather than what it was actually reading. It was on the r4 setting. It's not a big deal but i just really wanted to see the flasher because i was in 16 fow with sunfish suspened from 7-13 and rushing up to hit my jig just 3' under the ice... woulda been some pretty sweet footage!

I'm gonna say no.

The reason you see the blurps on a recording is because all camcorders basically take really fast pictures (say 20-60 frames a second?)

Your flasher looks like a constant circle of colors to the human eye, but a camera picks up the blank screen you can't see as your flasher is working.

So basically i need a higher speed camera or an lx-7 is kind of what im thinking... thought maybe it would work on a different setting.

It depends on the frame rate of the camera and the frame rate that the video is rendered. I could not capture the display on my Ice 55 very well at all with a Flip camera, but with the Canon Point and Shoot I've been using lately it works fine.

It varies from camera to camera and flasher to flasher.
