Kayaking Brodhead Creek @ 4.75 Feet

Kayaking the Brodhead creek near Analomink,PA, at a level of 4.75 feet on the Analomink gage, on December 2, 2010. This was a GREAT level, lots of fun, and much more challenging than my previous run at around 3 feet. Shot with a Gopro HD helmet cam, shooting in 720p at 30 fps.

nice run. Love the GoPro.

What's the runnable range?

@jnpitcher I believe it's runnable down to about 2.5 feet, but I've never paddled it that low. The other time I ran it was about 3 feet, it was plenty of fun but quite a bit easier than it was at 4.75 I don't know of an upper limit, of course the holes on the drops will get a little tricker with more water but it was no where near a problem yet. I'm sure between 5-6 feet it would still be quite paddleable, though perhaps pushing the top of class 3 into low 4

The GoPro's really easy to use. And pretty cheap. I've got one for WW kayaking and its great.

Oops....never mind the answer to my question...I now see the camera information posted on your video.  Such impressive quality! I need to learn more about cameras.

Whooo....thanks for the vicarious trip down the Brodhead (I like to film, but I'm not a boater). What kind of helmet cam do you have?  The quality is excellent!
