The kayak camera mount

I got this idea from h20spider on NCKA. He's often fishing on his own so can't get the pics of himself and the fish and came up w/ a great way to take care of that. I did the same but used PVC instead of a Scotty flush mount. I just used 1/4" PVC w/ a T connector at the end. I then used a pool noodle for the actual camera mount w/ a slot carved in it. All you need to do is put the cam in the mount (the slot @ top), set it on self timer, and you've got your hero pic of the day!

Z, 

I'm glad to see you have it setup with the camera well up off the deck of the kayak.  The original vanity mount by H2Ospider created way too many "up-shorts" photos for my taste.

That was the first piece of advice he gave me. I was thinking of making an oversized one pointed down for a bird's eye perspective. Although it will be hard to pull off I think I'll try it. Now all I need is a fisheye lens and a new camera.....

Hey Z,

If you're getting a new camera, you've seen this thread, right?

I have the Pentax Optio, like a lot of us, and it's great, too.

Long time Optio user here. Not really into video. I think stills have a long way to go yet. I'm working on a few different camera mounts for the yak. To be continued....
