tonyquoll Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 That's cool! Any idea how the camera was mounted? What's the thing at bottom left of screen? I mounted one on the rudder cross-bar on the weekend, but the footage is rubbish; cant see the waves or the other boats. haven't tried wearing a helmet yet; not comfortable and might catch on boom.

joclo Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Was on my head using a head band mount, the black part to the left of the screen is my cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammer Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Check out GoPro cameras, the surf pro is HD waterproof and has a wide angle. Things to know for the novice. You need a good wide angle to catch the action otherwise you'll miss most of the action/scenery. Generally speaking the cheaper the camera the narrower the field of vision and the lower the frames per/sec rate. If it's on your head then remember that it's there and try and keep your nut still for some of the time. A good mount option is using a small castor wheel just go to bunnings, the type of castor for a lounge/ bed. Use the metal plate as your mount to the boom or spinnaker pole and the wheel hanging down. Mount the camera on to the wheel,you will need to create a frame or use tape. Using the castor wheel mount give you a gyroscopic type of mount where you can always have a level frame while the boat tips. Play with it until you get the idea.
