- This is a comparison video with my current Stuntman 360 fishing setup against the typical GoPro chest mount footage - which I think is garbage. See the footage for yourself!
After years of capturing GoPro fishing videos, I can honestly recommend this setup as the best setup to capture fishing videos. This works for the GoPro 12, 11, 10 and 9. It's a GoPro mounted via SNAP magnetic mount onto a Stuntman 360 shoulder mount. This combination will give you a 3rd person over-the-shoulder point of view that captures more fish fighting action and less footage of hands reeling.
This setup in combination with the GoPro 12,11,10 or 9's two features (Hindsight + Horizon Leveling) make it the best setup for fishing videos.

Great Video my brother! I'm sold ! Just what I'm looking for . Thanks for taking the time to show differences between the 2. God bless !
Awesome, just sold me! I just ordered everything from your video! Thanks, great video!
Great help thanks. Looking at starting a channel and this info. will definitely point me in the right direction for some gear.
Thank you, will try it
Thank you for sharing; awesome information for multiple different hobbies!
Great video! Good idea to make this video, I haven't video'd my fishing but I will now and I will be buying the same setup you recommended. You should put links to the products you recommend so you can get a cut, you proved you point very well, you sold me and deserve some coinage for your great demonstration!
Thank you! Great video detailing the options!
My questions are finally answered, great video thank you
You can also use the looping feature instead of hindsight.
Great Video! Thanks for sharing your tips. Keep them coming
Here I am again bro, great job and love this video man! Thanks again!
Great video! Thank you for the detailed review. Much appreciated.
Wow, thank you very much for this video, this is totally a game changer for me. I just started with fishing videos here in the Czech republic. I have very old camera and I use it with gimbal attached to my chestmount and it is terrible. I had been still thinking about purchasing a new gopro and your video made it much easier for me. I had no idea about the hindsight function, this is really cool feature which makes everything much easier. Also the shoulder mount seems great. Thank you and good luck in your fishing adventures.
excellent info! I'm a believer. Thanks!
This advice is gold!
Awesome video! Quick question, after you hit the record button to start do you have to hit it again to save the footage?
thanks for detailed review.i think is best if you mount as a neck mount or lets say high chest mount for snap mount.
Thank you for this video
Never even seen that mount before thank you
thanks for the info
Great video 👏👏👏do you happen to have a link to the Snap Mount that you are using in the video?
Only the Snap Mount that is on Amazon UK looks exactly the same as the one in your video however the back plate does not have any mounting fingers for a thumb screw making it impossible to mount to the Stuntman shoulder harness.
The only mounting fingers on the UK model are on the front plate but that attaches to the GoPro.
Update…..I realise that this is the Snap Mount Pro version that you are using which comes with the extra back plates that have the finger mounts 👍
So i have just ordered one👍
I bought everything you recommended, can't wait to try it out. I usually use chest mount and like you mention see alot of my hands and reel. My only concern is I notice with your set up there is no view of hands or reel, do you know if I put ball mount higher on shoulder mount t if I will be able to see everything? Thanks for the info
Great video. Thanks for the insight!
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for this video realy helpfull
Great video! Just got myself the Gopro 10, tho with a chest rig. Not too impressed by the sound when it's a bit windy. Do you have any tips on microphones? Need a microphone that is relatively small and won't obstruct any movement while fishing but can also pickup sound if i were to place the camera onto a pole in the back of the boat?
The best microphone setup you can get for fishing is a wireless external mic. The Rode Wireless Go 2 is the best mic for the job. Get the matching Rode Lav Go mic to plug into the wireless unit and you'll be completely cable free from the GoPro. Even if you mount it in the back, you'll get clean audio commentary from the lav mic you clip onto yourself. Links are in the description.
thank you for the great video!! really helped alot. A year or so later, would you still recommend this setup or did you find any setup thats better?
I still believe this mount with snap magnet still provides the best angle for fishing videos.
does hindsight work with voice activation .. ie 'go pro start recording' and hindsight will kick in ? So its recording you press record it saves upto 30 sec pre the button hit BUT doesnt the record button hit kind of zero it again, ie you have to press record again to get the next 30 seconds OR does it record Pre 30 seconds and post 30 seconds after record button press and save the file ? Ok I get it now - hindsight wont start again until you press record again .. so basically you are starting the record pre 15 or 30 seconds with hindsight then you are stopping the recording by depressing record again - after this the hindsight starts again and next record press starts 15 or 30 seconds before. This is so awesome with auto horizon i just have to get one now.
Oh…I love the snap mount!
I have the go pro 10 is there a way with the battery pack, when I plug in the usb it says usb connected and I can’t record. The only way i can get it to work is start recording and then plug it in but I can’t stop otherwise it says usb connected. Which means I have to be recording the whole time I’m fishing. Anyone got solutions that would be awesome
@TygerByte Great video showing your set up! Still recommending this set up? I'm looking to get something to record my fishing and your set up looks like it works very well. Anything new since you made this video that you would recommend? Thanks!
Yes, this is still my go to setup for fishing videos. I've since added a cushion pad for the shoulder mount for long term comfort. You can see the link to the padding in the description.
Good stuff Ty!
Eric!! I bet this setup would work well for surfing too! =)
Best video I have seen. I am tricking to copy it for myself BUT I don't quite get it. I believe one part you connect to your go pro with like you would any accessory but the other magnet part on the shoulder strap, how are you connecting it to the shoulder strap part please?
Just like you have said, the gopro connects to the stuntman strap like anything else. We just now add the magnet mount in between the stuntman strap and the gopro for ease of access. With the magnet mount, you no longer have to unscrew your gropro, you can just grab it on and off because it snaps on/off via the magnets. The magnet mount comes with two plates. One is the base plate that connects to the strap. The other is a plate connected to the GoPro. The two stick together via very strong magnets.
Hey thanks for this man. I just got a GoPro for Christmas and I can’t wait to use it! I’m familiar with making videos with my mirrorless camera. I noticed you were using what looked like an nd filter. Do you set everything manually on your GoPro? Like the 180 degree shutter rule? Thanks man I smashed the subscribe haha
When I'm fishing, I let the Gopro handle the exposure. Too much fiddling if I keep it on manual exposure. I do add Polarizers to get good on water footage.
@@TygerByte oh nice thanks man!
Great vid! Have you ever used a head piece? Also do you use a microphone? I have the 9 black myself
I never liked the head mount because the head just moves around so much that the footage gets too herky jerky. Also, you can feel the weight of the gopro + accessories when mounting on the head.
You and I are very much on the same page on settings. The only difference is I use an action hat and I set my hindsight to 30 seconds.
I’m considering a hat-mounted setup too. It’s easier to pan down to get footage of the fish when being pulled into the boat. Although a great setup, the shoulder mount seems a bit too high at times.
Love this video. Only problem is the Amazon link for the stuntsman 360 looks different from what you have on. Oh well will find out when it comes in. Great video though. Planning on a deep sea fishing trip and want to bring the action HOME :)
Indeed was different doesn’t work the way it does in the video
The linked Stuntman mount is the exact one I have. However, I added the Snap mount for easier take on/off of the gopro.
Great video! I learned a ton. I have been using an older GoPro 4 silver but, I have been thinking of stepping up my game. I have tried head mounts and chest mounts but the setup you show here seems optimal. What battery do you have with it and how do you have that setup? With a bigger battery do you run a bigger card?
I run an external USB battery pack and just run a cable from my pocket to the GoPro.Typical 10k mAh battery will last all day with my settings. I have a 512gb card that is more than enough for an extended weekend trip.
@@TygerByte I'm trying to figure out how to make that work while wading.
is it gopro 8 got a same featured setup for record before 15 or 30 second? i always miss a hook up with gopro 8 🥲
Thanks Man! You just sold me on upgrading from 7 to 9 with your shoulder setup! Stella! What’s your opinion 9 HB vs 10 HB?
There's just slight upgrade from 9 to 10. What you're getting is really user interface smoothness upgrade. Touch screen will be more responsive.
@@TygerByte thanks man! Love your channel!
Awesome video! I was interested in filming my fishing and you convinced me. I bought the Hero 9 and an external power bank but when I turn on hindsight, the battery stops charging. How have you been able to simultaneously charge and use hindsight?
I upgraded to the gopro11, but everything should definitely work on the 9 still. If you are having issues using a power bank, try powering down the GoPro, plug in the power bank and powering back on.
Great video
Thanks. Glad it was helpful.
I need some guidance on how you have yours actually mounted, I have the stuntman and I have the snap mount. Bought them both after watching. The way these attach I can only attach one or the other. What do you have mounted to the go pro because if I put the snap on it then I can’t mount to the stuntman. I’m either completely dumb on how I’m doing this or a design has been changed. Lol
There should be two magnetic plates. One attaches to the GoPro and the other attaches to the stuntman. Once you have both plates attached, they will stick together like magnets. Double check that you bought the stuntman package that includes the GoPro style rib mount as well.
With the USB battery pack, do you just take the side access door off to plug it in?
Also does that pack keep the battery running pretty much all day?
Thanks man, great video by the way!
Yes, you need to buy a different side door that has the opening for the usb plug. If you just take off the oem door, the battery can get loose. There's a link to a new door in the description. The power pack runs the gopro all day for me.
@@TygerByte good to know!
Thanks for the left ear
On my go pro 10 the hindsight features shuts down after 15-20 min, I would like that it continues recording until the battery dies. Is it normal this problem? Should i set something in particular? Thanks!
I used by buddy's GoPro10 just briefly.. so no extensive experience with it. But my sense is that it could be an overheating issue. Try a lower resolution like 2k.
After watching this I bought the Stuntman mount, but I immediately noticed IT HAS NO PADDING!! It gets really uncomfortable really fast. Have you experienced this and if so, have you found a solution?
I decided to get a shoulder pad for it, I just velcro strap this guy under the mount and works perfectly. amzn.to/42HMIgt
I'm really struggled into the head and stuntman. The biggest advantage of the stunt is having the stability of the chest at the head's height, but you cant show what you're looking at as easilly as the head setup :/
I think the head mount is a more viable option now because of the horizon lock features of the gopro 10/11, it's just heaver for sure on the head.
Hello, how do you keep the Hindsight on? After 15 mins on my Gopro 11 it turns off.
The Gopro wants to auto power off. What i do is just tap the screen to wake it up from time to time. Alternatively, you can disable it. Go to settings > general > auto power off... switch it to never.
How well does the shoulder mount work with a life vest that is flat until inflated (not sure the exact name for it ha).
My husband fishes in bass kayak tournaments, so needs to wear the vest. But I’d love to get him the shoulder mount to add a third viewpoint on his videos.
I dont use the auto-inflate PFDs, so can't say. I have a standard kayak fishing PFD when i'm on my kayak and the shoulder strap goes over it fine.
Do you ever have overheating issues using the HindSight feature since the camera is essentially recording non-stop?
Not on the hero 9 and hero 10. If you get a power bank and connect to the GoPro take the battery out as well you can record all day without over heating. But if you do that it’s not waterproof. It’s the best way though.
I bought a battery pack to extend the life of my Hero 9 to extend the life of my battery. I also bought the shoulder mount and magnetic clip. But once the GoPro is in its case, there is no way to plug the battery pack in. Am I missing something?
You can buy an aftermarket battery door that will allow a usb cable thru to charge. Or you can just run without the battery door.
What is the best mic you found for gopro for fishing video?
The default mic works very well already. Keeps it waterproof too. If you want to really upgrade the audio, get the Rode WirelessGo 2. You will need the media mod for the GoPro tho.
Did you purchase 2 magnetic snap mounts to build your set-up?
You only need to purchase the Snapmount "Pro" kit. That'll give you the magnet mounts you need for the same setup.
But if you recording in loops you don´t need the hindsight function right? I mean u just stop recording after the action and the last 20 minutes or so are safe.
Main issue with loops is that you get more footage you don’t care about. Which in turn eats up the space on the memory card. But most of all requires more time to scrub thru in editing. With hindsight, you get exactly the footage you want and nothing else.
Do you have a battery in the GoPro when you have the Anker external hooked in?
Yes, I keep the battery in almost all the time. The only time I think about taking it out is when it's a super hot day... taking the battery out will run the GoPro cooler.
All I keep hearing in reviews is that this and the hero 10 overheat after 20 minutes. Have you experienced this? How do you overcome it, justifying it being the best set up in your mind?
My GoPro9 didn't have any issues... unless it was a hot summer day on a lake. Try lowering the resolution and frame rate. My gp9 settings are 4K/30fps, lens: linear+horizon leveling, hyper smooth: on, hindsight: on. Pro tune settings: high bit rate, shutter auto, ev comp: -0.5, whit balance auto, iso min 100, iso max 1600, sharpness medium, color: GoPro, raw audio high, wind auto.
If you really want to help with cooling down the GoPro, remove the battery and use a USB battery pack. The hollow battery chamber will allow air to cool the unit. Hope this helps!
Does it always beep when you hit the record button?
There’s a setting where you can turn off the beeps
Does the go pro ever over heat on you that way with direct sunlight?
It'll only overheat when it's a super hot day with direct sunlight. But it usually doesnt. If you have this issue, try running the GoPro without the battery. Just plug directly into external battery back with a usb cable.
Where did you attach your battery pack? Did you just zip tie it on?
I just put the battery in my pants or jacket pocket.
Can you link to the battery pack? Is that something external?
Since I have the Gopro on me the whole time, I just use a USB 10kAh battery pack. I'll put a link to a battery pack in the description.
What video settings are you using typically witht he Hero 9?
My gp9 settings are 4K/30fps, lens: linear+horizon leveling, hyper smooth: on, hindsight: on. Pro tune settings: high bit rate, shutter auto, ev comp: -0.5, white balance auto, iso min 100, iso max 1600, sharpness medium, color: GoPro, raw audio high, wind auto. Hope this helps!
Wouldn't a head mount solve all the issues you describe also?
I never liked the weight on the head. But most of all, I think the head mount is too herky jerky… meaning we tend to move our heads too much. I prefer shoulder because it keeps the camera pointed at the fish all the time.
Does hindsight drain the battery fast ??
It does drain it faster, but thats the only way you'll be able to capture footage beforehand. The alternative is to have it running all the time, but this results in way too much footage to scrub through.
Hello can you share your gopro 9 settings for fishing?
My gp9 settings are 4K/30fps, lens: linear+horizon leveling, hyper smooth: on, hindsight: on. Pro tune settings: high bit rate, shutter auto, ev comp: -0.5, whit balance auto, iso min 100, iso max 1600, sharpness medium, color: GoPro, raw audio high, wind auto. Hope this helps!
@@TygerByte Hey what about the Lens Mod do you recommend that also?
@@petermark8976 I looked into the gopro max lens mod, but I think for fishing the field of view is too wide so it makes everything look further and smaller. You don't really get to see the blowups close up enough. Besides, just the gopro 9 itself handles the horizon leveling well enough already. For other sports, the benefit of the 360 degree horizon leveling could be a benefit.
What polorized lenses do you use?
I use the filter set listed in the description.
Love the constant wanted to ask do you need a mic for GoPro 9 when you go fishing And what software do you use for editing videos
What kind of usb battery pack do u have to power up your GoPro all day
No mic needed for gopro9. The onboard mics are excellent. For battery pack, I just use an anker powercore+ 10k mAh usb battery pack.
For video editing I use davinci resolve.
Thank you very much is definitely the absolute best set up for fishing
Hello whats your battery pack?
I have my battery pack listed on the description, but any usb pack will work.
And what about the head mount?
I’ve never really been a fan of the head cam as the primary point of view because our heads move around so much the footage is herky jerky. With the shoulder point of view the camera is always facing forward. Head cam as camera B could be a good addition to a stable camera A tho.
Tried it … terrible, wouldn’t stay on moves too much. Threw them out. Chest mount still the best
