DIY How to 'blaze' the Hobie Pro Angler with Railblaza - mounting the GoPro


Project - Mount the GoPro on the Railblaza adjustable platform.

The Goal: I really wanted to achieve flexibility and stability while using the GoPro when taking photos/videos. Also to fit two cameras on the Railblaza adjustable platform saving space, making it easier to use and also so I can film forwards and backwards at the same time.

The Plan: by angling the two camera brackets (1st and main is a GoPro (not in case) the other is a cheaper Audiosonic version) I have rotation and flexability while shooting video and stills. I also have a modified pole with a starport lug at present but will be updating to the camera Boom and telepole for extra functionality and stability in the near future.

The GoPro bracket already had adhesive underneath but I stuck 2 pieces of double sided tape for the other bracket, press and hold firmly for a few seconds.

Voila, a very functional Camera mount that can be mounted in any starport and the railmount.

Out of the way and very easy to use.

Both brackets fitted nicely on the adjustable platform.

Love the adjustable platform, great for mounting the 2 cameras facing each way. The extender lifts the TracPort Dash 350 above the top of the hatch and fits very snuggly in the Hobie sail mount.
