    Default ski-doc camera mount

    Anyone have any experience with one of these mounts. http://www.theskidoc.com/ski-doc-camera-mount.htm wondering which one would work on my 96 comp ski pylon. They said the master craft one should work.

    Looks like it'd work pretty well. You could probably get the same thing for under 4 bucks at home depot though. Get a PVC pipe that will fit over your pylon, get a cap for it, mount your camera on the cap, then cut a slit on one side to allow the rope to go through it. It'll do the same thing.

    I thought about doing that. No big box stores carry 2 1/2 PVC have to order. Problem is with tapered pylon too tight won't swivel. Too loose camera vibration. Was thinking of putting foil over top of pylon sliding PVC over squirt some great stuff in there. Let dry. Then remove. Then cap it off.

    After buying a piece of pvc and started making one. I realized mount that slides over my pylon wont work. Due to my pylon being angled. (duh) Your pylon needs to be straight for a slide over mount to work. For angled pylon like mine you would need a wakeye or trakker mount. Something that clamps to pylon.

    What are you trying to film exactly? Trying to get close up shots of the skier? Instead of focusing on mounting it in the boat, I'd work on getting a section of PVC set up so that you slide the rope through it and have a notch for the handle end to stabilize the pipe from spinning and mounting the camera out in front of you by about 8 feet or so.

    Jet, I'm trying to film me skiing. I just got. New ski and want to see how it sits in the water and where the spray is so I can properly adjust the fin and wings on it. I'm really anal about setting them up. I have three setting I'm going to try on it. After I figure which one I like best I'm then going to tweak it a little for the way I ski. I was planning on putting a gopro on the tip facing the boots and one on the pylon. I talked to skidoc today and a malibu mount fits just need to angle the camera and heat the PVC for a better fit. Haven't decided if I want to go through all that or break down and get one of the more expensive mounts.

    If you mount camera on angle on skidoc. You will be filming the sky on left and right when mount swivels on our angled pylons
