Kayak Camera Support
This week I modified my Kayak Camera support. I added a shelf to make it more stable and I lowered the support so that it is now right at eye level.
The support was built using a piece of 6 inch by 1/4 inch thick aluminum stock. I took the stock to a local metal fabricator and I had them bend it on their press. I then attached two four foot pieces of aluminum angle bracket as feet to support the stock piece by drilling and bolting the pieces together. I added the wood shelf to make it more rigid and add a little storage space for filters and lens cleaner etc. The support slides easily back and forth in front of me so I can push it forward when I want to paddle. It works great.
God's light and love,
chris

I really like how it slides forward so you can paddle! Thanks for the blog posts - I learn something new from each one.
Thanks for stopping by. I love your remote camera pictures. The otters are really cool. they are one of my favorite critters to try and photograph.
Brilliant!!! Hope to see you and the set-up on the Noyo sometime.
Chris, This camera support just got placed onto my "Honey-do List."
Does it work best at eye level? Taller is better as we can always lower it.
The support is set so that the camera is right at my eye level.
