An idea

[mark]

I need to be able to mount a gopro camera on a lead weight.  Ideally it should sit up about 10 or 12 inches from the weight and be flexible so I can adjust it.  This will let me video and dredge at the same time.  Ideas?

Glue something to the weight like a foot pole with a gopro mount on it so you can tilt the camera to your work area?

Of course ya can modify it to where it fits what you need to do..

maybe I could get something like this and zip tie it to the weight?

Clamp and a screw to hold GoPro. I'll try and get pictures up of mounts I've made.

Great thread. Cool to see how everyone is fabricating camera mounts. Here are a few of mine. The first pics are just an old dive computer wrist mount I got at a dive store for $3.00 in the close out bin.





The next are store bought. The light is a cave light that is about 9000 lumens! The frame will mount two lights if wanted and is fully adjustable.













I don't use a GoPro for anything but occassional UW video as the lens is just too small. But they are great little cameras, portable, cheap and waterproof in the housing.

I had a doctor tell me that she wanted a chest mount for her work. She is an ortho surgeon. I was like hum... maybe on to something here.

Mark, I often just use a small tabletop tripod and hold it down with a rock or two. Those tripods are dirt cheap. Use it often if I am in clear water and the current is not too swift.
