Has anybody ever used one of those attachments at the top of the mast for photo cameras? I've noticed them on windsurfers, the camera is operated by a string down the mast to the sailor. They'd only work on one tack but seem to give good pictures. Any thoughts? ------------- Life's a reach, then you gybe |

I have put a camcorder on the top of my mast before, just duck taped/lashed it to top of mast on a stick. turned boat on its side to check picture frame set running and go sailing. Video is quite steady and it is a good training aid. |

Its not a video camera that i'm after, just a still photo camera. The type that are used on windsurfers, it's so i take pictures of the sail shape whilst sail tuning. ------------- Life's a reach, then you gybe |

I think the one from the site mentioned can just send the images straight to a laptop or camcorder and record in realtime?! ------------- -12ft skiff, Team 'CST Composites' -Many thanks goes out to all of my sponsors. Ignore my user name, my views are of a 12ft skiff |
