Cafe Racer jump with GoPro pole mount!!
 
Hey Guys,
So what I did was take my GoPro, wire tie it to an extendable pole, wedged it into the back of the bench seat, then for added stability, we cleated a line from one side, wrapped it around the base of the pole, then tied it off on the other side. I was pretty surprised how stable it was.

I plan on ordering a c-clamp to mount the Camera permenently to the end of the 12' pole in the video. Should have some quality video of this summer if i don't drop the whole thing in the ocean...:poopoo:

cool video. how big would you say the waves where?

I tried something similar the last time I ran my 272 last summer, except I left the contraption in the burb after parking the trailer...... :party-smiley-004: Never got to try it out.

I made a mount that secured to my swim platform and then the pole extended up about 5' with around a 20 degree sweep backwards. I really want to be able to capture a forward view of someone standing behind the boat if that makes sense. Would be great if you could at least see part of the swim platform also.

So was the post standing straight up basically at the back rest of the rear bench, correct? I need to make a better one for this year.

Cool first video,

Brian

Videos don't do justice for the size of the waves, doesn't look that big but probably average of 3' footers?

Thats funny, we had a 242 for 3 years. Alot of good memories...
Your right, the pole was vertically wedged between the bench seat and the back of the bench seat if that makes sense? We had the part you sit on (on a hinge) leaning against the pole. Then like i said we tied it down with a line. But this year i'm buying a gopro attachment clamp and mounting it the the end of the same 12' pole in the video. More flexibility in filming off the sides, or holding it straight up
