I made up a new GoPro rig and tried it out yesterday. (Thanks to Kaos for showing me how to make it)

It is a lot easier to kite with than the pole, but I dont think the angle is quite as good. Hopefully after a few tweaks I might get better ones.

These are the best of what I got.

Heres a pic of the one Kaos made, that I copied.



I dont think my pole is as long though.

Basically the base is a cheap chopping board and the rig stuck onto that.

Ill take a pic of mine and put that up too.

I took out the back pack rig again. This time I set it on R4. It distorts the image more, but it seemed to fit more in.

Here is a pic of the rig


The results

Nice. I been thinking of doing same: backpack pole kind of mount. Similar to the harness mount that i do, but it is nice to have the mount separate from the harness.

Nice pics.

lol nice chopping board - has you missus realised you nicked it yet?

Seriously though great idea for a simple and cheap build - nice work!
