After looking at some designs by Nerk & a few others, concocted a new over the over the shoulder mount on the weekend...

Hasn't been a good swell for the SUP yet, but here's a couple photos from using it when kitesurfing...





The view is awesome .. when watching, it really does feel like you're looking over the riders shoulder.

Really easy to build .. less than 1/2 hour if you have the bits laying around...

Parts:
- old camelback
- two cable ties
- bit of polypipe
- plastic clip
- keyring
- gopro tube mount

(The green tape/cloth is there to soften the sharp edges of the tubemount/screws)







I hook the bottom clip to my harness when kiting, but am guessing I'll need a belt or something to keep it "upright" when surfing

Unit is so light, easy to forget you're even wearing it.

Enjoy..

Nerks & a few others have shared some great gopro mounts .. working with their ideas, built this one the other day..



Here's a couple photos from Sunday...





A video will be on the way after a few mates have got some extra footage.

The view is awesome .. when watching, it really does feel like you're looking over the kiters shoulder. Gives non-kiters a great insight of what you see!

To keep the rig 'upright', I slipped a keyring onto the handle on the back of my harness, and then hook the plastic clip onto it. The elastic from the camelback acts as a great anchor which is very forgiving. The slider works as the perfect tension adjuster.

Unit is so light, easy to forget you're even wearing it.
