Nice gybes with the whisker pole. The cam footage looks good. The mizzen location looks like a good one. Main problem I faced was finding a suitable camera location which wouldn't foul a line. Not so easy on a dinghy.
I had a chance to try that whisker pole set up with a 20-25mph wind on my butt with the full rig up : ) Gybe several times simply by pulling it across with the sheets while comfortably planted on my bottom in the cockpit. I'm also able to roll it up without having to remove the pole first. I'm really happy with how this worked out. My cam issues have to do with managing the wind sound in the mic. On my last outing, there were several times where it was so bad you couldn't hear my commentary (well...some might think that ok : ) Might try gluing a little peice of foam over the mic and see what that does.

@@timingersoll1257 Audio is subjective. While the commentary is nice, the wind will always be a factor.
