This homemade, DIY kayak camera mount gets the mounting pole out of the shot. In addition, I did not want to do the standard DIY kayak camera mount on a rear since it has no flexibility as it is locked into a single perspective. The kayak camera mount for fishing I built from a Scotty Rod holder and PVC is adjustable to any angle and allows for side, rear and front shots depending on where you mount it on the kayak. Here is a link to another video from RedRoofRetriever showing a floating version: • Lady - 9 months old
Parts list:
(Comment: I recommend you cut both PVC pipe sections long and play with how it looks sitting in your yard before going final. Use the GoPro app to see what the shot will look like at different angles. Once happy, cut to length.)
34 inch 1 1/4 PVC pipe for long section
13 inch 1 1/4 PVC for short section
45-degree connector
90-degree adapter reducing 1 1/4 to 1 inch
1-inch plug to mount the camera mount
Camera mount options:
360 Mount (Generic GoPro): amzn.to/2h5VUEN
GoPro Branded 360: amzn.to/2gTp8Zp

It goes without saying that fishing is dangerous as a result of the fast water, slick rocks and other hazards that occur in random, unexpected places. You need to exercise caution, particularly in the spring when the water is high or during rapid changes in tide before you fish anywhere. You should always wear a life vest when fishing. Also, a wading staff will help you keep your balance as you walk on the shoreline or wade.
The bottom line is that you must make a judgment regarding acceptable behavior and risk and not rely on the opinions expressed here. The regulations governing legal access to fishing locations may change at any time, and it is your responsibility to understand the law.
