Has anyone tried one of these?
BE WARNED....This video contains a Nickelback soundtrack.
Looks good great angle, just got a GoPro what is the best way for a mast head mount?
Nice idea but imho the GoPro if fundamentally flawed in that it can't be tilted to get a horizontal horizon. Using the Flymount you can tilt the GP though which is much better. Using the Flymount and a Contour you can do even more.
AB......
all this go pro footage. It's so dizzying I think I just vomited a little bit in mouth.
That's a great video. Cool watching the kiter sit on the front and they are going for a good distance. Just a fun vid!
I think this is the best angle for GoPros.
I am not sure the flymount can get the cam that far back.
You'd need some extensions to get back that far..... anyone done it? Video or it can't be done [}:)]
I had my first attempt with the go pro on monday, didn't think of fixing at the far end of the boom with the flymount..
looked like that (just a pic, I'm still trying to figure out how to edit the video....
)
Hey Gaz,
make sure you use the safety chord from the camera housing to the boom.
Those go pro mounts have a nasty habit of snapping.
Little bit of sunshine, the black heats up, goes brittle and then PING snapo and no more go pro.
While cheap and modifiable the mounts and connections are just not built to last or to take a belting.
Go the flymount
So where do you attach the safety cord to have one idea but not sure. Need to get a bike handle bar mount can pick one up for $27
Geez Gazza, that only took 3 sections and 4 bolts to achieve a tilting set up. Take it from me, the more sections, the more vibrations & the more chance of fatigue cracking. GoPro uses extremely brittle plastic, 3 broken so far.
I do like the way your mount can tilt for a better framed horizon.
AB....
gazza's vid has the horizon pretty much horizontal. something i think stegs was alluding to also.
gazza's vid is one of the best angles i've seen.
