For some time now I have been trying to figure out how to cheaply mount a video camera so that it will shoot where I look. The main driver behind this was trying to get some better quality tarpon fishing videos. Here is what I came up with. A simple mount for my Kodak PlaySport camers. I used a cheap mini tripod that I got at Walmart for about $7. I removed the tripos legs that were held on to the swivel mount with one screw. I replaced the screw and added a nut and washer. I drilled the bill on a visor I had laying around and put the two together. It took a little trial and error to get the camera set so it pointed the way I want. Here is the final result.
It feel a little heavy when you first put it on and I did have to tighten the strap to keep it from slipping. After you have it on for a while you almost forget it is there and it works great. I shot my recent video of DaveR catching a tarpon with this rig.
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.
