255xd, GoPro Mount?

[jayman1234]

Anyone have a suggestion of where and how to mount a GoPro. Would love to capture my daughter wakeboarding and wake surfing!

I clamp mine on the tower. I’ve Also thought about sticking a mounting bracket on top of the stern light but haven’t done it yet.

I have one of these on my tower on the port side

I'm a fan of this one:

Large Tube / Roll Bar / Pipe Camera Mount | GoPro

Attach you GoPro camera to roll bars, pipes and more with the Large Tube Mount. Move your camera on the fly to capture the best footage possible.

Where do you mount it? I gave up on mounting my gopro in my boat. Mounted to the top bar of the wake tower, but on a hanging mount, the video was stable, but the border is still 65' out from the end of the boat, so not much to see.

This year I'm going to try one of the harnesses and wear it on the water with me. Mainly use the video just to improve form.

What exactly do you want to film? You doing water sports? If so i mount on the horizontal part of the Bimini frame. For wakeboarding you are a bit far away, but just record at full resolution and zoom in in an editing software

I usually mount if up about 3/4 of the way of the tower, facing forward (for timelapses of travel), or backward if trying to record watersports (pretty rare for me).

I have a Hero 9, with the time lapse function how many hours do you get out of the battery? That would be a fun thing to do. I know recording video, even at standard HD, i get maybe 30-40min before it's hot and done.

Same, hour or so max before the battery is done. When doing longer timelapses at home, I'll use a battery pack and leave the door open - probably safe to do on the boat, but it could get splashed.
