Best GoPro or cam mounting location?

[dsiekman]

Here's a sample from this weekend. Not great. I was using the GP Chesty mount. It was just a little too close to the action. I am thinking about switching the the "over the shoulder" cam in the future. What do you guys like best?

I either mount the camera on the rear sides, using the Yakattack mounting pole. I can also use this to mount the camera up front, toward the bow of my yaks. Each location is just far enough to capture all of the action. A rigid mount will produce more stable shots IMO. The down side is not being able to readily reach the camera when its all the way up front. But remotes/wifi/bluetooth operation makes that a non-issue.

Nice rock IMO! What was the genral area where you were? I cant get enough vids of yak fishing. Thats another action on my list. GoPro capable.

Thanks! I have a similar setup, just haven't tried it yet.
