Go Pro mounts and videos from pontoon boat

[Mark649]

Just thinking about purchasing a GO PRO camera.  Just wanted to get some mounting ideas from anyone who might use this type of camera when on the water. Need something secure obviously but need mount suggestions

Many thanks

Mark

I want to get one as well. I stumbled accross a knockoff the other day sj4000. Looks like it has a few mounts that come with it. I'd like to get footage from the anchor light looking back while pulling a tube etc. I think that would give a great view. You can see some videos in the thread below to get ideas as well. http://club.benningtonmarine.com/index.php?/topic/4049-post-up-your-videos-here/?hl=gopro

I have used helmet straps for the bimini frame, Suction cup mount and now just bought the Jaws mount to try this year.

I have 2 gopros and dont mount them in any way in particular. You just need to figure out where you want to mount them and just be creative..

I bought the GoPro attachment that goes with my Shurhold boat pole. It's nice because one pole can be used for my GoPro, a boat hook, a paddle, a fishing net, etc. Just swap the attachments on and off. I like the POV that can be obtained from the end of the pole too. Always fun to have the actual boat/people in the shot. Unfortunately I didn't do enough with it to make an actual video, but here are a couple of screens using the pole. It helps to stabilize the camera too. I was thinking about sticking it in a rod holder and doing some static shots from there.

I have attached mine to a boat pole then held it  over the bow to see the action under the boat as you pick up speed,  turn etc.
