Like the perspective - doesn't matter which tack you are on either. Good one.
Where do ya get it?

Great angle although the wide angle lens slightly makes the rider's head disproportionately large. Initially thought it made the sail look really small too but on closer inspection I think it is looking at the boom length.

I think these tail cams give the best possible perspective, at least with the go-pro's. Its certainly a much better angle than the boom or mast cam.

this one could possibly do with being bent back a bit, so the cams more behind the head rather than above it. Sort of like your standing behind the sailor watching their every move.

Some of us may create to much reflection for this particular angle.

How would you prevent it punching through the sail when water starting ????

Here is a longer flat water tail cam for those who haven't seen it, probably a bit to long/bulky for waves. Steve Thorpes is much lighter/compact and more suitable for waves & jumping.

I developed mine for a full view of the board and sail with smooth footage capture. Here is the initial test run and thread on the GPS forum.

Cmon Troppo, if you're not falling in, you're not trying hard enough... that could be why I am constantly in the water

Dr in ER to patient: "explain to me again how you ended up with half a boom arm up you butt?"

Water starting wouldn't be the only way I could put that camera mount through my sail

nice aerial attempt mate, but I think the objective is to stay connected with the your gear.
