Thanks Tad,
That helped.
I like the tiller angle but the movement and water was what I expected. The Drift has a pretty wide angle I think I'll probably try the boom and see how it works.
What did you use for editing? I'd be interested to hear from non mac folks about this.
I was worried about the movement too. The trick I used was to put the camera on the END of the tiller arm on the crossbar right inside the plastic pieces, not further back. This meant that the camera moved side to side and didn't "pan" back and forth which would have been seriously annoying.
I used Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects. Its part of the Creative Suite.
