This is exactly what I was looking for. Can you believe that the sailwavesystems one costs 220 euro. Crazy. Hopefully i can find a flag holder like that in the UK. I might try a carbon fiber tube instead of ali. Nice one and thanks for sharing
Cool and simple solution. I am on the process of making my harness mount. I just avoid aluminium for it breaks so easily and makes sharp edge when it snaps. I'll add a safety leach for the cam, and will include some fuse part of some kind in case of crash with the pole somehow entangled.
Looking great!! I also thought about filing like that... did you have any leash tangles in that thing? Or some other issues with that because of the increased radius of the pole?
I did notice the wing clipped the camera a couple of times during jibes. But no biggie. And had plenty of crashes! It’s pretty solid - just need to use a plate each side of the mount to the harness.

Couple this with whatever camera that does automatic horizon adjustment and what you have is the best solution on the market! Bravo!
Thanks! I’m using a DJI action camera, costing $300. So a better camera would be boss :-)
Solid kiwi engineering mate. Brilliant
Works well !
thanks good idea
Which shop did you buy the flagholder? I’m based on the North Shore too. Cheers
Could you please share a link for the GoPro mounting fitting at the end of the pole?. Having difficulty finding such a one. Thanks
Hey david - i actually used the mount that comes in the retail box - and glued it into the end of the pole. use expoxy glue and it won't budge.
It's amazing idea
