Mr. B has been a developing photographer for sometime now, and just like A the developing photographer, he upgraded his camera to the GoPro HD Hero. To make the camera accessible to Mr. B, we created a collar mount for the camera. The supplies you would need include: a clip from a skirt hanger (we snapped off one the clips from a plastic skirt hanger), flat adhesive mount that comes with the GoPro camera, and a hair band.
As shown in figure A, we attached the flat adhesive mount to one side of the clip from the hanger and we wrapped the hair band around the GoPro mount and clipped the clip with mount to the collar as shown in figure B. To secure the mount, I pulled the hair band under the collar as shown in C and D and secured it around the other side of the clip. This is actually pretty secure and prevents the GoPro from falling off the collar, even if becomes unclipped.
Finally make sure the GoPro is taking pictures or videos in UpD (upside down) mode. Here are some of Mr. B's photos from this past year:

Smooches from pooches
Smooches for pooches from Miss M the kissing bandit
Such a great post! These images from "dog view" never get old, they are too funny!
ReplyDeleteso awesome, these pics never get old!
ReplyDeleteI love that you guys keep us updated from a pitbull's point of view! If I were to put a camera on Rosie all we would get would be footage of her sleeping all day!! lol!!! It would also give me a birdseye view as to how she manages to help herself in the refridgerator!!
ReplyDeleteI love "smooches from pooches".
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry that the picture of the instructions did not show up, we will update the post tonight.
ReplyDeleteI love the dog view shots so much -- especially how cute/wrinkly Mr. B's muzzle looks from that angle! And thanks again for mentioning the blog. We sooooo appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI love Ms. M's smooches from pooches coat - it matches her personality!
ReplyDeleteI adore Mr. B's photos! I hope one day to save enough kibble money to get my own camera and take pictures!

ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
If anyone can pull off a coat covered in lipstick kisses, it's Miss M!
ReplyDeleteJust love Mr. B.'s photos, as usual. Amazing what that camera captures - so cool!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I want to try this with Kolchak. I wonder if I can rig something up for my lightweight point & shoot camera?? I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeletethat is great - if I ever upgrade to a proper cam I will keep this post in mind for making a camera mount :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of Makai that soft, wrinkly under-chin. It reminds me of a horse. Mr. B's is equally lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea of attaching the GoPro to the dog's collar. I've used just a hair tie to do it, but using a clip would probably make it so much more stable
