How do you do the rope mount?

we use it in a variety of ways, mounted on a pole with someone holding it filming from a tube, helmet mount, board mount, rope mount, and sometimes tower mount

Get a 1/2" or 3/4" (can't remember exactly what I used) and cut it to 6 ft. The drill a 1/4 hole or so in one end about 2 inches up from the end. Then take a saw and cut up the short end to the hole you drilled. Now slide the rope through the PVC with the side with the hole toward the rope handle. Once the pipe has reached the "Y" in the handle you can slide the branches of the "Y" up the slits you cut until one side is coming out of each hole. Then you want to wrap the end with electrical tape, this will keep the camera up right with the handle. Use the go pro handle bar mount to install it at the end of the 6 ft pipe.

Looks like an easy enough setup. I am going to give this a try this year. I had the go-pro mounted on the board but the videos are never really that good. I also mounted the camera on the back of the boat but again the video is never that great when wakeboarding because its so far away.

This yields bad video as well, good for still shots tho

What's the electrical tape wrapped every foot or so up the PVC ?

[rdlangston13]

The handlebar mount was slightly too big so I put a good wrap of tape every foot to have multiple mounting locations and tighten up the fit a little
