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..

have you bothered to look at any of the threads and see how good the video is . You get shakier and more vomit inducing videos from those with line mounted go pros than these

I just got back from bunnings after a small shopping trip to make my over the shoulder mount. And this new thread jsut popped up. Thanks laurie. Im making mine smlar to coreyb.

Interesting.........might work well in the bedroom as well,,,,ummm,,,errrr,,to perfect my technique and style.

oh yeah them banks are looking good this year

Hey!

dont use a pipe mount. too much mucking around..

get a fcs plug and glue it into the top of your tube - cheaper and super solid with epoxy and and could even run a bolt though - i run a bit of line from the bag, though the tube/pipe then out the top as a saftey up and out to the gopro.

i fill the bag with water for a bit more counter weight

cheers drew.

i am fiberglassing my polly pipe as they snap in a big crash...

Footage? Was hoping to collect some from mates and different angles and make a decent video, but the run of 40' days put a halt to that idea for the moment..

GoPro Outdoor edition? Get one here (only got a couple, so be quick)

This is the completed version - very comfy and about an hours worth of work in total - cost about $15 and uses the wakeboard mount that came with my camera. Only expensive bit would be the straps from the camel back - but found lots of straps pretty cheap at an army surplus store if I didn't have the old camelbak.
