Title: GoPro and Floatube rig
Post by: badboi on April 22, 2015, 01:45:47 PM

Hi,

Anyone have any clever ways of rigging a Gopro to a float tube?  I have a Fat Cat and was wanting to try and take some videos from different angles.

thanks

Put someone with a GoPro on their head in the floatube.

You could:
1)use one of the head mounts
2)get a gopole and put it in a rod holder facing back in your direction
3) Go pro sells a clamp mount that you could put on any part of it really

Use the chest harness, it's is the most stable and will show your casts, landing of fish.
The head mount is alright but you tend to move your head all the time looking around etc..
Mix that with a pole and you get good footage.

Put a Scotty mount on and get the camera mount and extension.
