Internship and Expericences

Hi there,

Thought I would just give you a little insight into what I am doing at the moment. At the start of the summer I started this internship though university, the position is a research assistant. So far we have done quite a bit. We are taking a look at VO2, VCO2, RER, MIP's, MEP's temperature, lactate, heart rate and rate of perceived exhaustion ,when a subject runs a 2.4km time trial with 25kg on their back. We are seeing how different specific respiratory warm ups affect the time trial. My roll has included collecting data and inputting data as well as taking part in the time trail. I think i did quite well improving my times with every run, my best time has been 11.19 minuets to complete the 2.4km. As well as this I have also had a chance to go to St Georges Park the other day to help out with some pre season testing for a league two football team. This was a great opportunity and gave me the opportunity to work with professional athletes in a top spec facility, although only doing basics of testing power speed agility and fitness, it was still a great experience. Apart form working and my internship is the only other thing I am doing at the moment as I find I have no full days of to do anything else.

GoPro’s WiFi Remote Vs GoPro’s Phone App

Hi there,

Here is my own way of reviewing these two product that can be used as aids for your GoPro Hero 3.

The Wi-Fi remote is a simple little remote that allows you to control your GoPro it has the same buttons, a play and on button, which are used just the same as the GoPro itself. It also has a screen of the same size of the GoPro too. All it is, is an extension to the controls of your GoPro it has a reasonable range on the wifi so you don’t have to be holding the GoPro you could have it on a tripod a few metres away. It is best to be used when biking as you can attach it to your handlebars and it makes using the camera easier instead of trying to fiddle with the buttons on top of your head. It is a nice bit of kit but again like the GoPro itself the battery life is not that great.

 The GoPro phone App is a great little app for your GoPro as it has all the functional controls of your GoPro camera and more. It comes with a preview screen which means you are able to see what you are filming, which always comes in handy. But when using the preview it does have a slight lag on it of around 5 seconds. Apart from that the GoPro app is a great addition to your GoPro kit.

Putting the two together, I find that the GoPro app is best unless you have the remote strapped to your wrist or handlebars then the remote can be more useful. Both are great peaces of kit.

Thanks
