In this GoPro Tips and Tricks video I show the best spot to mount your GoPro on a kayak. The spot the camera is mounted is the bow and the shots the GoPro captures are incredible. This mount can be used facing forward or looking back at the person paddling. This mount can be used for either video or photos.

Thanks for this video, I didn't want to drill into my kayak for a rod mount. This is so helpful!

I use a tether on mine as well. Its a great back up option. Does the low angle also help with reducing camera shake?

Best bow mount so far. Definitely doing this as it's a lot better than the method I used, THANKS

How do you turn it on and off?

Is that a Pelican Trailblazer 100? If not, mind telling me what model it is? Just curious if this will also work on mine. Thanks!

+Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" Ok, cool. I checked and unfortunately mine (Pelican Trailblazer 100 from Dick's Sporting Goods) doesn't have those eyelets to run the vented helmet strap through. Think I'll end up using the GoPro Jaw Mount to clamp on the dashboard area. Thanks for your help!

+Nismo9132 no idea! It is the one Costco sold a few years ago

What do you find is the best way to capture sound when filming on a kayak? I find with the water proof enclosure most sounds is blocked and any commentary that you might make is not picked up. Thanks

Do you think SuperView would be great for kayaking?

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 10 years ago

Super view us cool, but it is nothing really special and as I lean more about it, could total be done with a HERO3 and some tricky editing.

Ben Holstine - 10 years ago

where did you find that mount?

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 10 years ago

The mount is the vented helmet strap mount. You can find it here http://amzn.to/1qnqXNf

For fiberglass kayaks the suction cup mount is best for quick setup and diverse point of view.

Hi Kyle. I have ropes on the back that form an X and I put my gopro on it and got some AMAZING shots.
