Anyone had any experience (good or bad) with go-pro anti fog inserts?
Really need to stop losing half the footage due to fogging..

i put my case and camera in a fridge for 10 minutes (open case). dry air in the fridge works pretty well. Or hold it over AC vent of your car for few minutes before going out.

Had a great result with the anti fog stripes as I was told once before put them in the night before which I do and haven't had it fog up, I keep them in the packet with the desicate, but I put them in a snap lock bag and dry them out in the oven when I get a chance after use. Had a problem before using them.

Had great results with the aircon first and then add a sprinkle of water saver crystals around the back. Much cheeper than the strips and available at any old hardware store

Here is a video with the anti fog inserts in, in the process of editing one without them in so you can see the difference

Thanks for that Mux, as you can see the second video is quite fogged. This was sunday before the storm hit, nicely condensed cool air. But one wet gybe was enough to ruin the rest of the footage. I think I'll have to invest in the inserts to keep it easy.

Think it might be $20 well spent.

I use the anti-fogs, and they work perfectly every time. No need for AC etc. Nothing worse that finding the lens all fogged up!

Others have said that a bit of chamois has the same effect, or some silica gel... not tried this myself, but if $20 is a stretch, worth a go for free.

Another thing I've found handy is to use rain-ex on the lens before every session - it stops those annoying water droplets hanging around in the middle of the lens, and ruining the view.

I have had very bad problems with my Gopro I had just about given up using mine I got the proper inserts used them & it still fogged ended up having to keep it under the aircon in the car on the way down for a sail then remember to close the case up before turning the air off but now I keep getting water drops on the outside lens which ruins the videos.
Got to say its very hard to get it right I'm not too happy with my Gopro.
