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!

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)







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.

Enjoy..

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.
