Just bought my first flat panel TV, and BTW gained a new appreciation for the Gopro hero HD camera, simply phenomenal. Anyways the salesman at the store told me I need a HDMI cable, this was the first time I heard of it. He showed me two cables, one for $60 and another for $50. I asked if I can get by with the $50 one an he said yes if I'm not going to be using the TV for gaming. So I got the $50 cable because I wanted to use the TV right away, but I was suspicious knowing a little bit about how selling products of this nature works. So after satisfying my curiosity with the TV I went online and did some research on HDMI cables.

The Rocketfish $50 HDMI cable I bought initially.

To make a long story short it's a scam, especially advertizing the cable as suitable for 120hz or 240hz. Bottom line is that digital data either passes through the cable or it doesn't, so you get a picture or you get nothing. There is no such thing as better quality picture with a better cable, as long as you buy a high speed HDMI cable.

So I bought 4 longer HDMI cables from this online vendor http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240 and with shipping it was still less than half of the $50 electronics store cable, and they work perfectly. The overpriced cable went back to the store.

How was the vis?

Congratulations hau, you're an inspiration. What are the distances for each phase?

Ramon, es una competencia por el mejor video Gopro hecho con la lente plana de Pursuit. Postea el video y cuando haya varios va haber un vote por los miembros por cual es el mejor video. El ganador recibira un LCD bacpac. El costo de envio del LCD no esta incluido.

Nothing will change the the shape of the footpocket other than cutting it, and you don't want to do that.

There are a few footpocket brands to choose from, you should be able to find something that fits well.

Well done

Congratulations Emil!

Great post Roberto.

Exactly, suction between the sock and footpocket. I don't like socks and avoid them if possible. I'd rather be cold than get that feeling of a cramp coming on whenever I try to stretch out my foot/wiggle the toes while wearing the fins.

Put it in a case and call it fishing gear. Never say it's a speargun.

Well done Marco, and thanks for the pic.

Valuable information there for anyone interested in going to Venezuela and spearfishing.

Cramps in that area are usually caused by footpockets that don't fit well. This is probably what you're feeling.

With the Cressi fins you don't have a choice, it is what it is. That's why guys choose any of a number of footpocket brands available on the market that will fit them best, and then choose blades to match the footpocket characteristics, to get a fin with the desirable flex and stiffness. Carbon blades being lighter than anything else help to relieve stress from knees, ankles, instep and toes, not only the arch.

Informative report, thanks hau.

Interesting read, thanks Mark.

How do pike fight when they're shot? I'm assuming since you said you use a slip tip that the flesh is very soft.

If you have a closeup pic of the speargun muzzle I'd like to see it.

LOL I'm weeping with ya'. Good job Mike and a damn fine story Aaron.

Nice report and catch. Wishing the best for your little daughter.

It's the other way around, the Snap-on Filter For HERO3+ has a stronger/better effect in 45ft or less.

Yes
