What GoPro?

Any chance some of you can post photos of how you mount your GoPro cameras please?

I am working on some custom mounts so watch this space...

That's all brilliant, thanks, I have decided upon and ordered the HD Hero Motorsport with the handlebar mount extra. Now onto the next question ,what editing software? (Preferably free)!

I use the tripod mount and then have several different way to attach it to the boat
First one is  attached about 1m off the stern using a windsurf batten (carbon pole) to give it stiffeness I made a set of acrylic spreaders(5mm) so that it did not interfere with the image. As you can see there is quite a lot of bend in the carbon pole(ref picture on the day we broke our mast!) the pole is just drilled into a T-section of wood that hangs on the stern (tied down with 1.5mm dyneema). For the mast mount I again use the camera mount bracket but this time it is mounted on a cut away windsurf cam inducer(sorry no pic) this is then tied through the mast at the holes for the hounds of the shrouds. Recommend always tying on the camera in addition.

Can't remember what sort of threaded bolts you use to attach the tripod mount but they are not Metric! 1/4 UF or something like that .

I use Serif Movie plus X5 video editing software (not free but you can bargain then down to about £50) Can do everything that adobe premier (blue screening etc) as is way more advanced than windows moviemaker and imovie.


You get a better view off the bow if you put a small bowsprit on ( this was done with an old camera (not wide angle) using a 1m old tiller extension bent at the end with the camera held on with good old electrical tape!
