[quote=philzy]I just recently got a GoPro Hero2 and plan on mounting it somewhere on my P16. At first I was concerned that the 3M sticky mounts they come with wouldn't be enough...however, I mounted one on my surfboard and after taking a beating in 6-8ft waves for a couple of sessions, the camera was exactly where it should be and the adhesive is very stuck very solid, so I trust if on my boat.
I think that, with a fish-eye lens (which comes with the GoPro's) you can mount it closer to the front crossbar than the videos I see on youtube which have them mounted way out on the bow. Also, with it mounted close enough to reach you can control when to record video and when to stop. I think the only thing I might do to insure the adhesive will stick is lightly sand down a very small area of the nonskid texture for the mount to sit on. Also, there are kits that incluce flat surface mounts and slightly curved surface mounts. It's a really cool toy.
Side note, I will probably try the head-mounted / helmet mount angle as well, but the truth is those videos can be hard to keep watching because of all the movement. I think when the cameras are mounted to the boat and all you see it the horizon line and background change around the boat is a great angle.[/quote]
