Wanting to mount my gopro on the paddle on occasions. Have looked at the various gopro clamps and adapters, but need at least 3 bits and adds a lot of weight to the shaft. Any suggestions/photos of what you have found works best. Thanks heaps, cooper

Thanks DJ, a fountain of knowledge as always :) think i will mount it on my spare paddle and use it when needed.

I just duct tape the plate to the blade.. Then I carry the GoPro in my boardies pocket till i need it..

But rather than use the float i have a string around the shaft and through the loop in the camera string.

Hey DJ - have you ever had problems with the clips on the mounting foot snapping?
I've had two come apart being really careful with them and I don't disconnect them often - you seem to swap mounts around a lot.

I use the Bike Mount on the shaft and it works a treat.

Crude but effective. This mornings test run before trying something more permanent.


Works well once you trawl through all the paddling footage, swinging on a pole like a demented monkey.





Conditions were pretty good except for the lack of swell




Works underwater too
