dude...that is sick!!! Only questions I have are 1) what is that new boat you have there? Rad!!! 2) When are you coming to El Cuyo with your quark and familia?????
The boat is great. Just a little flat bottom jon boat but perfect for the shallow water around here. I tried to set up a trip down there but the flight prices were totally nuts during the time we had off for spring break.... Like $1800/person way in advance. Might have to just be me at some point. School is so limiting. Grrrrr
Update: The potential problem that I told Noir Matter about happened a few months back. (They poopoo'd my claim that there was a problem. ) The line mount snapped when the kite luffed and then the lines snapped tight again. Loss of camera and gimbal. Their secondary safety leash broke too. I now have Hero9 with max lens mod. Horizon leveling works great. Forget all gimbals. Unneeded added complication.
It is important to inform that Quark Noir Matter Stabilizer is not waterproof enough to get in water and should not be sold for kitesurfing. As Noir Matter wrote to me: "Quark as it's not made to be submerged in the water and might not work" It is quite difficult to prevent it from getting into water when kitesurfing :-(
so sick!

I haven't weighed it... But it's not light. GoPro Session could bring that down a bit; I was using a Hero5. Regardless, seems to work well.
