Hi Larry, thanks for the inspiration and tips. Here’s one back! To avoid the water drop on lenses problem, I successfully tried a tip from my Dad who used potato peelings rubbed on his car windscreen to shed rain water. It works on the GoPro Max lenses! Just rub the inside side of a potato peel on both lenses, then gently rinse off with water. Next time filming in the water the lenses will shed the water. Hope this helps. PS. Don’t use it on GoPro 10 which already has a treated lense.
Thanks for the tip. I am just exploring this sport and have been wondering how people get the amazing shots and was beginning to think, since there is no pole in the shot, that they had a body tracking drone or something! Yes, naïve, but the shots are sick. I will have to go back through your video to jot down the specs for the poles. Given the cost of the go pro I think I will add a leash which I saw mentioned on a video of the AeroPro mount. Thanks again for the great information.
Excellent larry thanks , this will also work perfect with the Insta360 One R, I just gotta sew that loop on the tail. I'm honestly pretty surprised that the tail mounted is that rock solid and not flapping around more. Can't wait to try this out.
@@LarryFoiler I I have a question is it really sturdy enough? (The first way leading edge mount) because there’s only a micro Strap. Because I’m really interested to buy gopro max camera😭. Anyway keep up the hard work much love from Hong Kong 🇭🇰
@@chxnjay822 yes it’s really sturdy, I’ve used this setup at least 50 times now and it’s never come loose. But if you’re worried you could easily attach a small tether and tie it off. Also make sure that your pole floats just in case, then you are covered 😃🤙 Cheers buddy!
Haha you noticed the ding bag! 🤘🤘 Unsure if that will go to production but it’s super cool! Keep me posted with your GoPro efforts! Always keen to see how others are getting the shot! 🤙🎥
@@grahamreed8443 aw man the pressure is on. When the people speak I guess I gotta listen!.... 😀 I have a coupe of prototype ding bags which are really cool and I think with some minor tweaks will be super functional. Let’s see if we can get them into production 🤙💼
@@grahamreed8443 it's definitely something I'm going to work hard at to make happen. I'm stoked that you have noticed it and have shown interest! Cheers Mate! 😎🤙
Thanks man! It’s so hard with the water drops on the Max 🤦🏽💦 Usually the spit and lick does the trick but it’s hard with wing foiling because often you can’t reach the camera. Recently I have been having pretty good success with a super fine cut polish and buff just before each session ✌️
It is very similar to this style here www.ebay.com.au/itm/363985717919?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=pekwxa15sea&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=TEgZ_e0VTJ2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Great tips. I've been messing around with different camera setups for my wing recently. Could you possibly provide details of the diameter of PVC pipe and the end caps etc you used as well as how you attach the GoPro mount and any glue used etc. I've previously used a windsurf harness mount pole, however, I like the idea of the hollow tube to provide the buoyancy in case the attachments come loose from the wing. Thanks again.
Thanks mate! Stoked that you liked it! I’ve used 20mm diameter pipe which has threads on each end also the end caps screw right on. All found in the irrigation section of the hardware store. I used short 1/4 inch bolts, drilled a hole in the end caps and sealed with glue. And I just glued the caps on and then covered with heat shrink to keep it neat 😎😎
Hi Larry, great videos and action. Just ordered gopro max and want to build same setup. Are you ok to share where you purchased the aluminium mount (ebay, amazon, etc.) and 20mm pipe (am in Oz, so should be able to source same as you)? Keep up the great production.
Hi Mate! This is the GoPro mount that I use, I just buy a heap at a time as they are pretty handy. www.ebay.com.au/itm/402367272780?hash=item5daef5574c:g:hl4AAOSwjFVfPA2b The 20mm pipe is just from Bunnings or any hardware store. Cheers! 🤙
Cheers Glenn! Yes I’ve tried the voice commands but it’s terribly inconsistent, perhaps the distance from camera and wind etc... play a role here. And I’d assume it’s very entertaining for anyone watching / listening to me haha 😂🙊
Great instruction video. I feel PVC pipe is better than anything else because it's guaranteed to float. Did you just use the PVC pipe primer and PVC glue or did you use something like epoxy resin to bond the end caps? And what glue did you use to stick the end cap to the aluminum mount besides the 1/4 bolt?
Hey mate! Congrats! Thanks for you Amazing video!!! I need an advice because I’m not sure if buy a GoPro max or Insta 360 one x2… which do you think it’s better for wingfoiling and kitesurfing? Maybe GoPro is more resistant (shock and water proof…)
Hey there! Thanks for commenting! 😎 I have only had experience with GoPro so I cannot really comment on the others I’m afraid. My first gopro max died but was replaced under warranty, the new one is still going great 👌😎
Awesome vid. Do you need the bubble protector lenses on the 360..? Can't figure of if they're for waterproofing or just account for refraction if shooting underwater..
The bubble protector lenses for the 360 are just to protect the lenses from scratching when your camera is not in use - definitely take them off when filming, they'll distort your image and they fill with water if you take them out on the water.
Just about any GoPro mount will do as long as it had a 1/4 thread in the bottom of it. You need to drill a 1/4 hole thru the plastic end cap and screw and glue the end cap to the gopro mount. Then the end cap screw onto the pipe, with more glue to seal it. Just make sure you use aluminium GoPro mounts because I’ve lost gopros due to plastic mounts breaking. I use these mounts because they are slimline and are “hidden” from the 360 cam www.ebay.com.au/itm/3x-Aluminum-Alloy-CNC-Black-Tripod-Mount-Adapter-Accessory-for-Gopro-Camera-/153803011380?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
Hi mate! The colour won’t matter, but the black pipe that we have is stronger and more flexible. Our white PVC pipe is hard and brittle and could break easily. If you were really tricky I suppose you could use carbon tube and seal the ends for an even better solution 🤙
@@LarryFoiler Thanks Mate! I did look a little harder and did find a thicker black PVC pipe (it’s referred to as Schedule 40) versus the thinner white irrigation pipe. I’ll have my pole set up today!
Thanks for the info, I've used the same rigging, just not with the 360. Curious if you're using anything to keep your lens clear or are you just licking and dunking?
Hey Jason! Thanks man! 😎🤙 Oh man the water drops on the 360 can be such a pain, and licking/dunking is pretty tricky with the camera mounted to the wing. I just try and keep the lenses clean and hope for the best, some sessions are better than others 🙏🏻🤙
I find that the high aspect 90cm pole gives more glide and lift and goes upwind better but I prefer the pump of the 75cm pvc storm pipe when prone dinging flatwater because I follow @foiltheworld 😎🤘
