Are you ready to GoPro on your Kayak?


In March of last year we posted a teaser blog to let you know we were working on bringing you our thoughts on the less expensive White Model GoPro cameras. Well today is that day. We've spent many hours working on various setups and certainly how to put all that raw footage together into something you want to watch over and over.
I really don't want to waste your time with a bunch talk, so I'm going jump right into the meat of what you need to know and I'm going to break protocol by starting with the closing statement. Yes, if you love kayak fishing then you need to get one of these great little cameras! Even if you can't string together clips and turn them into a great short movie, like Teg can, it's still really fun to look back across your footage and relive that catch!

Getting started

Both Teg and I ordered our GoPro cameras from Walmart.com. We both started with the GoPro White cameras, a 16 GB memory card, and a handle bar mount kit. The specs on the White version are below.













 



MJ- I began by mounting the handle bar kit to the lower half of a 10 foot beach rod. And while this did work, for me it just wasn't a final solution. I want options and ease of use which my first rig didn't provide.








 

Teg- I started with a broken beach rod handle inserted into a PVC pole to mount his handle bar kit and GoPro to.  The old rod handle slips perfectly into the PVC pipe which fits into the rod holder on the Ascend FS12T. A pool float was slipped over the rod handle to allow the camera and rod handle to float.
