Tag UR It! inc. goes GoPro!

We have a new toy here at Tag UR It! inc., a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition! 

gopro hero 3+ black edition

We have just began our GoPro journey and we already love it! The GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition is the most advanced camera in the GoPro series. There are so many features in this tiny little package and the results are just amazing! The camera features video resolutions up to 4K, 12MP photos up to 30 frames per second, built-in Wi-Fi with GoPro app to quickly and wirelessly bring content to your iPhone or iPad, a Wi-Fi remote, and is waterproof up to 131 feet deep!

To test out our new GoPro, the Tag Team took it to the beach this week! This camera is easy to use and can be used in so many ways. We are starting out with a few accessories and cannot wait to add more. Every GoPro owner needs a monopod (at least we think so)! We decided to go with the XShot 2.0 Camera Extender and GoPro Tripod Mounts. The XShot extender is one of the longest monopods on the market measuring at 37″. The XShot is made of telescoping tubes allowing the user to have it at any length from 9″-37″, and even with this extended length, this monopod is sturdy and feels of high quality! We are very happy with it!

Along with the monopole, we have tried out a few other fun GoPro accessories! The GoPro Jaws Flex Clamp Mount is another must have! It enables a GoPro camera to be attached to objects ranging in size from 0.25″ to 2″ in diameter. The camera can be mounted either directly to the clamp or the adjustable neck for a variety of shooting angles. Quick release bases make it easy to move the camera between this and other mounts. Catheryn put this to the test on a scooter ride yesterday, mounting the GoPro to the windshield on her Sym 300i scooter!

One last must have accessory we have put to the test this week is the GoPro Wrist Housing! The Wrist Housing secures the GoPro flat against your wrist, yet lets you quickly pivot the camera upright to shoot photos or video. This housing is waterproof to 197′, even deeper than the GoPro included housing. When not recording, you’ll have full use of both hands-making it perfect for activities like surfing, snorkeling, climbing and skiing. This is so important for our beach outings, not having to worry about the camera being lost in shore break!

Stay tuned, we will be posting many new photos and videos recorded with the GoPro soon!!

Our Wag Team: Pet photo shoot at Dogma Pet Portraits!

Today I have a fun and exciting post to share with you all! Many of you remember seeing our Wag Team in the Tag UR It! Inc. movie trailer series. Well, the Wag Team has grown since then! You all know we are huge animal lovers. Out pets are our children and we love to include them in every aspect of our life!

Being the pet lovers we are, the Tag Team visited the OC Pet Expo last month. The Expo was amazing! Animal lovers are a special kind of people: kind, caring, and fun.  There were thousands of visitors on the OC fair grounds that weekend. We had a very successful trip, including adopting 3 new kittens into our family! Penny, Priya, and Zazzy (anyone notice the Big Bang reference?) were pretty sick when they adopted them into our home but are surrounded by so much love with our family!

While we were looking through the hundreds of booths at the Expo, one booth caught our eye. We noticed a booth of absolutely stunning pet portraits! We recognized immediately that these photos were done by the same photographer who shot the very cool photos used by JustFoodForDogs.  (Most of you will remember our past blog post about adopting Kaia from the wonderful people at JFFD) We have always loved their photos and went over to check out their booth.

This amazing booth belonged to Dogma Pet Portraits!  Dave and Sylvaine, owners of Dogma Pet Portraits, are absolutely amazing! After meeting Dave at the Pet Expo, we set up our initial design appointment at their Costa Mesa studio. Sylvaine walked us through the photo process and introduced the dogs to the studio. She showed them the big white room where the photos are taken and flashed the cameras so they would not be scared on photo day.  Our first appointment was for Scout and Cat. These are the 2 babies who have been with me since I was a kid in the house I grew up in. Scout is now 15 and I knew these would be photos I cherish forever!   After having such a wonderful experience with Scout, we decided to bring our entire furry family into Dogma Pet Portraits studio at once for a big family shot! That means all 15 of us (5 dogs, 7 cats, and 3 Tag Team Members) in one photo!! Dave was AMAZING!! He did it!!  The results speak for themselves! Check out the videos posted below to see our photos!!

If you are in the SoCal area, Dogma Pet Portraits is the best of the best! Dave has a very special way with animals and an eye for the perfect photo! He is truly a gift! Check out Dogma Pet Portraits at www.dogmapetportraits.com and be sure to “like” them on Facebook!
