Just before closing w/p case put in front of cold air-conditioning vent of car for about 30 seconds.
What about keeping water off the lens?? Rainx works ok and just licking the lens works better. Any other ideas? seems to all ways have a little spot of water, even when the lens is clean and no scratches.
I use some cut up pieces of old dry chamois that works well to stop fogging. I have been getting some droplets stuck on the outside of my lens I will try licking it thanks for the tip.
I am amazed how many people are buying them I thought I was one of a few who has one. The quality of close up pictures blows me away I am happy I got mine.
They need to have a zoom lens they are only good for close up videos also GoPro needs to come up with something that stops fogging but I don't know how cause its case is sealed other wise they are a top little camera.
For there size you can't ask too much I guess.
I was at the shop yesterday,getting a tube mount and they said that the fogging happens because the case heated up and then gets water on it and cools, this with the camera heating up due to operation it fogs. Like you said Glynn great camera. As for izaak I thought you would be going too fast for water to stay on the lens.
The anti-fog inserts are very good but work best if you seal them inside the unit a few hours before going near the water. I get mine ready the night before and it will film till the card is full without a problem. If I change a battery or cards at the beach the case will start to fog up again after a short period, I'll have to try the air-con trick. If you are using the LCD screen this does increase the chances of it fogging due to the heat it generates, Have it set so that it turns off after a few seconds. As for the spot on the lens, rain-x is all I use and it usually lasts until the card is full, I apply several coats allowing it to dry in between.
Hi Mux.
In QLD summer, even with 3 totally dried out anti-fog strips inside I still have problems with it fogging. I think the extra humidity here is the issue. Pre warming up the camera, and as someone else mentioned, holding it briefly in front of the car aircon, seems to do the trick for me. Winter seems to be fine.
Got the anti fog stripes and tried them out today was an overcast day and the camera was put through tough test spent some time in the water and out didn't fog up at all after an hour, will wait and try on a sunny day.
Man these GoPros fog up easy I did 20 new vids yesterday but forgot my Chamois & it fogged up the whole time I had to delete them all.
Did anyone watch ABC's Catalyst on Thursday?
Storm Chaser 3D movie with Tom Carroll and Ross Clarke-Jones.
The amount of innovation used by these guys to incorporate 3D tech on and in the water was amazing.
Well worth 12 min of your time if you're that way inclined ![]()

Not trying to be insulting here, but the poor pasty kid in the yellow jacket, who looks like it's his first time in the sun, doesn't seem to be enjoying it as much as the other guys in the raft Bob. ![]()
