GoPro Tips Website: http://bit.ly/GoPro_Tips Make a mast mount: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRvvWWxw6X4 How To Mount a GoPro HD or 960 HERO on the bow of a laser using a tripod mount for a really secure mount. I have used this mounting system in some really bad weather and there has not been the slightest movement of the camera How to mount a GoPro on the bow of a Laser Sail Boat and get great shots like these! You will need 5 things 1) A GoPro Camera. I think that this is kind of obvious but it is worth pointing out 2) A GoPro tripod mount 3) A ¼" - 20 bolt that you cut the head off so that the bolt is ¾" long. I used a dremel with a cutting wheel but a hack saw will work too. 4) A wing nut that will fit on the bolt 5) The bow eye off your laser with a ¼" hole drilled in the center The ¼" -20 bolt cut to ¾" The bow eye of a Laser with a ¼" hole drilled in Thread the cut off bolt in the Tripod Mount. Next hold the wing nut under the hole in the bow eye. Then put the Tripod Mount and cut off bolt through the hole and spin tight. Line up the tripod mount so that it is facing straight back Just mount the GoPro and you are good to go! Music: Kevin MacLeod

Hey, thanks for the detailed explanation! Do you have problems with rusting of the screw and nut?

ImmaSlaughter - 10 years ago

Hey do you think you can do a new video of more spots to mount and how to a laser please

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

Awesome!!

Michael Scheuer - 10 years ago

What type of line did you use

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

It could work on a surf board however I think it would be better to use the surf board mounts.

alejandrito - 10 years ago

Would a sucking cup work as well on a suf board? Or do they normally fall?

M s - 10 years ago

Buy the gopro surf board mount or use suction cup or a flat mount

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

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

It will work, just make sure you tie it on.

alex llewellyn - 11 years ago

Jack Miness - 11 years ago

Or you could use a GoPro adhesive surf mount.

i see

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

I do not tie my buggy to the bow eye, I tie it to the blocks at the bottom of the mast.

Theo DuQuesnay - 11 years ago

how do you get the bungee through the bow eye?

pgihockey13 - 11 years ago

thanks

harry bk - 11 years ago

what you can do is tie a pole sticking out the back off the boom then using the handel bar mount attach it to the pole it wouks fine and gives nice stern footage of up wind and when going down wind gets a nice shot of the side, i find that it works well and that you are almost always focused in the picture

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

I did. I just sent you the like.

pgihockey13 - 11 years ago

did you ever make the mast mount? if so could you send me the link because i couldn't find it on your channel

Matthew Deacon-Smith - 11 years ago

p7XLC9NrwEo this guy seems to have the set up at 1:10. cant see quite how its done.

Kyle Martin Tech "GoPro Tips and Tricks" - 11 years ago

Yes I do know what you are thinking of. I have thought about doing that but as of right now I have no thoughts on how to do it. I will work on it and get back to you.

Matthew Deacon-Smith - 11 years ago

Hey man, I sail laser too, and was wondering if you'd had any ideas of mounting the gopro off the stern using the pole. was thinking it would make for some sick boat handling and downwind videos.

Jaime Barros - 12 years ago

Ben Masterton - 12 years ago

SomeMotorbikeStuff - 12 years ago
