Mounting a GoPro surf camera to a kite will result in extraordinary bird's eye view footage. How can you mount your photo and video device to your kite?
Filming from a kiteboarding kite requires a proper camera adaptation to the lines or to the kite itself.
In the early days of point-of-view riding, sailors were forced to produce homemade mounts for their surf cameras.
Today, manufacturers are already developing specific kite mounts for contemporary kites.
Attaching a GoPro to a kite or the kite lines is not the same as mounting it on a surfboard.
You'll have to make sure everything's tight and flexible so that the camera won't be falling from the sky.
GoPro Vented Helmet Strap Mount
The first option is the GoPro Vented Helmet Strap Mount. Because it has a rubber material, it won't slide around the kite bladder.
If you add another velcro strap a few centimeters away and pass the GoPro cord loop, you'll add a double safety layer for keeping gear attached.
Then you'll have to decide your favorite angle using the classic GoPro attachment point.
Adjust the GoPro helmet strap so that it gets slightly off-centered. Ready to ride.
PKS Kiteboarding Strut Mount
The PKS GoPro Kiteboarding Strut Mount will work in virtually any kite. The brand says that, when strapped, the camera won't move at all.
CamRig Line Mount
The CamRig Line Mount offers a lightweight and tough reinforced nylon construction, as well as independently tensioned and flexible line arms so that the surf camera can adapt to your riding decisions.
For older GoPro versions, the brand has an alternative, too.
