Affordable Camera Mount

[Walt Spevak]

Maybe I'm sharing old news on this one from Jon Deeutsch.  And maybe not.

===============

 

For a while people have asked how I mount cameras to the ILCA, so I’ve perfected my own design to start selling.  Makes it a lot easer to safely/securely mount a camera for training or sharing footage from.  At some point I might want to advertise them and thought the newsletter would be a way to do it.

I just got my QuoinGear mount today. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks Jon!

Also ordered the following camera gear items. Will report back once I try these out:

1. Insta360 camera: https://www.amazon.com/Insta360-Waterproof-Replaceable-Built-Stabilization/dp/B0DZCBYCNY -- 210 minutes of battery life, enough for ~3 days, so pretty much a full day of racing, assuming you turn your camera off between races.
2. SD card, big enough for 2 days at 200 minutes each. https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-microSDXC-Nintendo-Switch-MB-ME512SA-AM/dp/B0CWPPMD8W
3. Lens guard: https://www.amazon.com/Insta360-X5-Standard-Lens-Guards/dp/B0DZGHZD6C
4. Tripod Mount, to connect the camera to the QuoinGear mount above: https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Conversion-Suitable-Insta360-Accessories/dp/B0DGL99B2W

The goal is to capture footage in clinics and regattas, when a stern camera doesn't work, and send to ISA Virtual Coaching for commentary. I've mentioned before -- it's a great deal and a lot of value.

The reason for a 360 ° camera is to capture footage when mounted on the boom; you need to be able to pan to keep the sailor in the shot. The reason for choosing Insta360 (over GoPro or other brands) is its longest battery life. The goal is to capture a day's worth of racing without having to open a camera on the water to change the battery, which is sketchy at best.

And yes, I did get a rubber mallet for my stuck trailer hitch, too: https://www.amazon.com/LOZAGU-Fiberglass-Flooring-Woodworking-Camping/dp/B0C5DXWQHL/

Best regards,
