GoPro Camera Accessory Surf Hero Mount 3661039

Product Information

Having a GoPro mounted on the rear of your surfboard might sound like a good idea but, in practice, it’s actually much harder than it sounds. It’ll keep your hands free, and help you capture some great angles. It’s as close as you can get to showing friends what things look like from your viewpoint. The best place to mount your GoPro is at the front, facing you, although a mouth-mount is also good. This should be 4-8 inches from the nose of your surfboard for the best angle of you surfing. According to its manufacturer, the installation process is similar to how you would install rope in a prone surfboard. If you have a wood surfboard and you’re worried that it will absorb water because of the hole, you can reinforce it by sealing its top and bottom with a sealant. To avoid condensation on the inside of the waterproof housing, use anti-fog inserts. They’ll soak up any extra moisture caused by temperature changes and keep your footage looking nice and clear. 2. Start with a GoPro surfboard mount

The few clips I got using this mount, a few days before snapping the board in heavy surf, were constantly covered in water droplets and spray from the wake of my board. Another must for those worried about loosing their GoPros – this awesome arm band means even if you drop your mounting system you won’t loose anything! This can create a cool effect when added to your video, it will help viewers focus their attention where you want it. 6. Switch up your angle and field of view GoPro resolution for surfing: If you’re planning on sharing your footage on YouTube, easy-peasy like, go with the 1080p resolution. Otherwise, you’ll need to spend more time editing.

But the thing is, it’s difficult to focus on two things simultaneously. You may find it hard to hold on to your GoPro if you’re still having trouble balancing yourself in the water.
