DIY stern mount for GOPRO cameras

Post by we66erno1 » Mon Mar 25, 2013 1:43 pm

I designed a stern mount that will work on any boat that uses metal rescue handles. It costs less then $15 to build it. It snaps on and off pretty easily. It is set-up for the GoPro camera system. But can be easily changed to work with what ever camera your using.

In the process of reediting the video though. After some input from older and wiser boaters, I've decided that a bungee leash would be better. Instead of the high-strength cord I used on the original one. So please pick some up at Ozark Outdoors or at OOO. It'll be safer to use.

I've also made a prototype one, that will work with any boat. This one should be available in about three weeks. It does not use a rescue handle(a lot safer) and is designed with break away points. It can also be used on almost anything that can handle an strong adhesive mount. This one will be available to ACC members for lower then the $75 Whitewaterporn.com will be retailing it for on my website. The website is almost done.

Hope this helps people save a little bit of money.

Thanks, you had to do some thinking on this one. I might have to try this one.

Once you get your non-metal=sternloop-required mount out I'd be pretty interested. Looking forward to it.
