22/06/2012 14:21:32 Posts: 0 | Yeah. Working now. Got a bit interesting downwind for a while with the kite flopping behind the main. Don't understand tho - the sky is a strange blue colour and its all bright How far beyond the boom end did the camera mount go? Tweet |
22/06/2012 22:02:26 Mark Harrison Posts: 117 | the camera was about 18 inches behind the boom. It would i think be much better mounted on the boat center line about 18" behind the boom, but this needs some thought to make it easier to remove. The gopro sticky flat mount was stuck onto the wood and I also put two 4mm would screws thought the mount and into the wood. I had tried mounting on a length of 2" aluminium light weight angle but got to much camera shake. Tweet |

Best start point seems to me to be something that uses the hollows between rudder fittings and transom. The stunt-kite business has led to the availability of interesting carbon rods and connectors from the Internet, which should help too? For the 100, the transom drain holes could be used as part of a mounting system, but I think something more generic would be fun edited by Clive on 23/06/2012 Tweet |
