GoPro storage
#1
I know some of you guys have some GoPro's for race footage. How do you guys store it? I saw Pelican has a nice case but I'm not really looking to blow the bank. Any cheap options that you guys know of?

Why do you need a case? Doesn't the gopro come in some kind of plastic casing already?

I don't own a gopro so I'm not sure of the durability of the standard case

I'm not talking cases. I'm talking a backback, a storage bag, a metal case. Something of the sort.

Ahh. Are you feeling that it isn't protected enough in a normal backpack?

Yep. I have a Lowerpro backpack for my DSLR and a few lens. But the backpack is overcrowded now. I'd like to keep the lowerpro for my DSLR. Leaving me with something to store 2 gopros, every accessory (including 2 suction cup mounts), and extra cases and batteries elsewhere.

i use my camera bag because that's the logical place to put a camera. maybe you need a larger one or to thin out what you take with you in your bag? a large, waterproof, metal case doesn't seem like the best solution to put something that takes up a few square inches (including accessories).

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
