Seems to work really well.
A quick bit of video shot on my GoPro HD2. Edited on a Mac Mini with iMovie.
Here is another GoPro Kayak Mount designed and executed by Laurie Clark. It’s a great looking professional set up. It’s been built (mainly) from bits and bobs you would find in B&Q (DIY Superstore). The main components are 40mm ABS waste pipe plus associated fittings.
This is a nice CNC’d mount from the guys at Mount Star.
It is set up to be attached to any normal tripod including those by Jobe and any other object by using straps or screws/bolts. A very nice and well made bit of kit.

The image is a screen grab from some footage taken on a Go Pro HD mounted to a homebrew kayak mount created by my good friend Mr Phil Higgins.
Picked up a GroPro HD 1080p yesterday (it was used for the 1st time to film the video below). It was purchased from Dogcam sport with the Unsponsored discount.
Detailed review to follow.
