Default Camera and mount suggestions
I tried to get ahold of Andy but I haven't seen him on here in a while....

Does anyone have a suggestion for a camera and mount to get good clear video of tube riders and wake boarders behind the boat?

    I'm going to guess you don't have a radar arch?

    No. It's a Shabah 202. I am thinking I'm going to have to go to the windshield

    Lol Colorado, thought about that but the bimini shakes way too much. What I'm really after here is a camera model and mount type that anyone has used with success. I tried having my wife and 16yo film w a 35mm but it was horrible and unusable.... Looking for something no one has to "work" to use lol because that's just not gonna happen. I sent a.pm to andyb as I know he's posted a bunch of.killer video but no response and I haven't seen him on in a while...

    I don't know much about them but maybe a gopro with a suction mounted to transom or swim platform angled to see the entire back area...

    That's what I thought but I wonder what type of mount andy uses to get it so steady. From what I understand they go pros do not have an image stabilization so he must have a really good mount

    Hi sorry for the late reply...... things are a bit nuts here ATM
    Yes I've got a Gopro 3 Black and the boat has a few mounts stuck to it in several places, But a lot of the time I use a suction cup mount on the screen.
    You can buy arms and all sorts of different brackets for the GoPro.
    I had it stuck to the side of my helmet Riding through the Alps
    I word of caution... GoPro's sink
    I've got a lifejacket on the back off mine and if it's rough I have it tethered.

    You got to get a Go Pro with handle bar mount and you can mount on the grab bar on the transom. Won't be shaky at all.
