very nice. Caught a glimpse of the 3-point mount in a few of those shots.
I'd say that's a winner - get good forward view on both tacks.
Maybe someone could post the dimentions and materials?

I like the angle alot ,just not all the trusswork to get it. That's perfect for what they were doing with all the boats having them though.
I would think some lightweight aluminum would make it robust without adding a lot of weight.
And if everyone had them attached, it would improve footage as well as even out the field (if the weight were seen as a disadvantage?)
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I hear Tawd can make things outta wood too. Get yourself a couple of 2x10's, and whip it up....

Booger, let me know when you're ready for your lessons.
When it comes to trimming, anytime. I'm a horrid trimmer. I can do crown like a mofo, but when it comes to 2-1/4" thin butt casing and f'd up walls I start losing my mind. I've yet to do stairs as well. I'm a cabinet maker. <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" />
That helped.
I like the tiller angle but the movement and water was what I expected. The Drift has a pretty wide angle I think I'll probably try the boom and see how it works.
What did you use for editing? I'd be interested to hear from non mac folks about this.
I was worried about the movement too. The trick I used was to put the camera on the END of the tiller arm on the crossbar right inside the plastic pieces, not further back. This meant that the camera moved side to side and didn't
pan
back and forth which would have been seriously annoying.
I used Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects. Its part of the Creative Suite.

You could do it with one aluminum rod and a couple of stays to the rudder pintles (maybe).
i have used the double-sided sticky tape mounts for the gopro in several places (decks & mast). The tape has held up through a few extreme incidents (getting snagged with the spin sheet, kicked with a foot, etc) But if the camera wasn't tethered... it would have sunk.
That was a joke, boy, a funny haha.
That's probably more on-topic that the rest of this banter.
You might try putting in an extra rod-holder on the kayak and putting the go-pro on a pole mount and a short pole of aluminum or wood. That way you can drop it into the pole mount for a fixed view or retrieve it and put it under the water for the under-water view.
