great video skunk. looks like a great time was had by all. some pretty nautical weather to boot.

you have set the bar high with the zoom in on the stills & action shots. also excellent choice of music, saw the outlaws a lot when i was in tampa in early 70's.

Another cool vid Skunk. A lot of rod holders on that boat.

Green Grass and High Tides was on the playlist at me and wifey's wedding.

The problem this time was the selfie-stick was turning from the moving water. I didn't get the good underwater shots I should have. That was the best I could do to edit out all the empty ocean shots. I'm going to make a bouyant camera stick from an old rod butt to keep on the SkunkBoat. Also going to try an outrigger mount to get a cool vantage point.

I have one of those extension handles for my boat washing brush. It goes up to about 8ft. I put the pipe clamp mount on it and stick it in the rod holder on the Bimini.

Outrigger shot would be great.

Side note, have you had any experience with any of the GoPro knockoffs on Amazon. Tempting to get one as a "sacrificial" camera. They only $69

I want to use a rod handle as a base to keep it from wobbling in the rod holder. I found that if it doesn't lock in place you can get a constant rocking and if you try to point the camera sideways, gravity turns it back to point at the stern.

Also, I want it to be able to float a camera plus any "backpack" accessory.

I've thought of a new "cheapo" camera to get different angles at the same time, maybe someday...

I have used my old Fuji pocket camera that is waterproof and shoots 640 HD


Maybe send one down to the wrecks this coming season

Stink has been posting up about the $69.oo camera, his video looks pretty good. I have a new one in the box but have been too busy to get it out and try it. On a R/C airplane or drone was my intent. I have the Go Pro but often fly it without the protective case. It has taken a beating. I just like the idea of having the built in led screen and so what if it gets damaged, it seems so cheap.
