I've been using my old GoPro Hero 2 for years to make cycling videos. I just started whitewater kayaking and I learned a lot from this video that will help guide me for my next video. This was very informative.
I'm a kayak fisherman - what is the best method of setting up my gopro so viewers can see the casts I make...maybe see a lure in action (surface) when a fish strikes and holding up the fish as I bring it in? I was told that the chest mount is the best, but what about setting it up on the left/rigth side of the kayak? I welcome suggestions :)
I'd suggest playing around with various mounts and positions. I know there are some specifically for fishing kayaks that hang over the side, plus bow and stern mounts to get wider angle shots. Worst case, get a couple of cameras and have them running at the same time to capture a moment from different angles at once.
Some of the gopros are voice activated, you can get a button that links to it and you can start it also from your phone. Depends on which model you get.
Thanks Eric. Good stuff. Been kayaking and canoeing for 45 years. Figured I'd get some video. This will help.
I have been following your sons channel for a while now. Great to meet the great Mr Jackson.

Great advice, concisely presented in an easy to watch video. Just what a beginner needs.
Well 5 years have gone by already since this was shot. Hope all is well. Good tips.
I learnt a lot from this video, thanks Eric!!
Awesome. Thank you. Sometimes it feels like a lengthy process

How is your hand Eric after touching Ben's boat at 7:00! :-P
So, if a guy only has one camera, it's mounted to your boat, how do you turn it on and off when you want to start and stop shooting?
the GoPro remote. you can buy one at the GoPro website

Press the on and off button .... let me walk you thru the steps
Step1 get off your ass and press the fukin button

You should of edited the block at 3:15 out too.
All ways back up your footage. I lost a GoPro yesterday with about 2 months of good stuff on the SD card, tragic.
Tragic to you. Me? I could give a shit.

+Eric Jackson thanks. i realy like how you kayak. i love kayaking
Ex used car salesman???
Terrible production. Choppy, dark. Doesn’t get one inspired, at all. Need better editing.
