The curved one is usually best for the helmet, the flat mounts are usually best for the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some kayaks e.g. certain models of Jackson boats come with a threaded mount position on the bow of the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The shot below was taken with a GoPro mounted to the front of a Wavesport Recon pointing back towards the paddler. If you mount a camera facing backwards on the rear of the boat you can get some great shots of the folks that are following you down the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jackson produce a mount on a poll that hooked onto the grab handle. The Levator mount works really well, can be added to a boat really easily without any boat modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will provide an additional snagging hazard and will remove the grab handle from use but you can get some awesome images like the one below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a simple concept and one that can be duplicated with a bit of DIY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some aluminium tubing a bit of plate, a drill and some welding was all that was need to created this bit of kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It worked really well but was again to fit a grab handle as the handle bolts needed to be removed, the mount fitted and then bolted back in position. It was way cheaper than the \u00a3135 Levator mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see the results of all of the possibilities in our Movie Monday<\/a> and Social Media Saturday<\/a> archives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The key to getting decent shots from a GoPro when kayaking is to try to mix the angles.
