My New Tripod Mount for Hurricane Outrigger Canoe

Here is the new tripod mount i have made for the Hurricane. It is completely adjustable from 1 - 1.5 metres high, the head rotates 360 degrees and tilts up and down, i can lay it back or lay it over to the ama so it shoots the paddler side on or from the rear or face it rearwards to capture the paddlers behind me.

The whole thing stays permanently attached to a spare iako and only needs the seat track screw removed to dismantle it.
I have also put a hood on the waterproof housing to shade the lens and this has improved the picture quality out of sight. I can now shoot video at a closer angle to the sun without exposure problems.

I've shot some footage and am impressed, the perspective is perfect.

Hi Rambo,
Is the upright just a mono pod?
And what is the material for the stabilisers?
Is the higher perspective better than sitting on the front or back iaoko? (is that how you spell it)

The upright is an extend-able aluminium window washer handle with alum tube stays attached. The head is just a conduit 90 degree bend glued on.
