Suggestions for mounting a camera to a kayak?

Question

I'm a photographer and also enjoy kayaking. I'd like to found a reliable camera mount for a kayak and am looking for input from those who've used such critters. Thanks.

Answer 1

When I wanted to take video from my car, I made up a simple mounting plate that I could s***w between the seats (2 seat car) and mounted a cheap tripod head to it.

For a still camera on a kayak, I would consider one of the better ball heads that have a single trigger release to make it easy and fast to position the camera.

A bigger concern to me would be getting the camera wet.

I just ran across www.goprocamera.com last week.  I may get one for playing around next summer.  It comes with an amazing number of mounting options.

Answer 2

go and tape it with duck tape and go get a stick and first mound it on that

Answer 3

when i done it for sea kayak, i just ducktaped it down but you can buy special mounts for them.
