Ha ha - looked like it was a great gybe with a slight cut then I noticed - before the cut the camera mount is dry - after the cut it's wet

Good work

how did you "mount" the boom to the "camelbak" ??

Great Vid would love to see how you made the mount and what it looks like.


I used the front end of an old boom. I bolted it to the center of a piece of Alu panel which I cut to fit snug into the camelbak (bladder removed) I also used a bit of rubber from an old harness, which I just taped to the panel for a bit of extra padding. A couple of light bits of cord to secure the mount into camelbak and the camera to both. The camera is mounted to the boom with a mount/clamp i had already. I think its called a Freak mount (or something) got it off ebay. I didn't get too
carried away with quality of the job as I wasn't sure how well it would work but I went better than expected. I will probably tweak it a bit when i get time. Id like to use a piece of PVC pipe or similar in the boom as a fail safe point so it would break in a big crash, particularly for speed sailing in shallow water.
