Re: How are teams with GoPro's connecting them to their monitors?

The only problem is we need to adapt from HDMI to DVI, which does anyone know of a cheap adapter that works? The cheapest on Amazon is like $30 from what I saw, and I could probably find an actual cable that length from HDMI to DVI.
Also, how are teams keeping their GoPro charged? Are you just plugging it in after the match or do you run a micro usb cable up your pole to charge it? |

I, for one, refused to be railroaded down this train of thought so easily! Geeze, one lousy game hint just builds up steam for any old picture to come through and go two pages in a matter of hours. - Billfred [more]
