James, have you got a video you can link to with that mount in place, sounds easy enough but possibly better to understand from seeing a shot.

Ummm no, i'm afraid not. They are all with the coach who's go-pro it was i am afraid. If you attach the UJ (one of those red seasure ones) to the toestrap position and hang the pole out the back of the boat, with a drill handy, connecting the brace to the hatch cover is self explanatory. Then simply un-screw the lot after sailing Im sorry I cant be more help. I can try get some stills, ill make a phone call

On our 400, we've managed to get some pretty good footage just by sticking a flat mount to the transom and using a few of the mounting arms you get to project it up and out. This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdWhnr_7xJ8 was taken using a combination of that and the wrist mount wrapped round the boom.

Ian,
I don't suppose you got footage for that squall that came through at garda did you? Just rememer seeing a load of 500s infront, turning away because the rain hurt and then not seeing any more 500s (every single one capsized).....was awesome fun

Sadly we didn't have the camera on the boat that day, would have got some quality footage if we had though!

Has anyone mounted a GoPro to the top of the mast looking down into the boat? If so how did you attach it to the mast? I've got a Manfrotto superclamp which will attach it to most things but it also has a vice like grip and I don't fancy using it on a carbon mast really. |

With a handlebar mount, but takes some lining up if you have a bendy rig to get the optimum shot.
Plus only really works if the main halyard isn't quite 'masthead' Failing that, if you have a burgee clip, perhaps take that off and use the location holes. even easier if your sail has a head plate |

Will a handlebar mount not potentially cause crush damage to a carbon mast?

A guy at our club does this on his British Moth. I dont think he uses a 'gro pro' camera but he has some kind of mount that he attaches to the top of the mast using velcro straps.

It depends how tight you go, I'd say pad it out with a bit of rubber inside the mounting. I have not done a mast mount, but you could use one of the sticky pad options all depending on how big the surface you have is, but tether it whichever mount you go for.
