Posts: 120 | Go Pro Hero HD, I'll be putting up vid next week of us on the C2, amazing stuff. Mounted on the spin pole you catch most action, especially down wind. The crew can easily turn it off and on to save battery / flash drive space.
Also mounted it on the back of the boom (just inside the main blocks) facing forward, works okay, you get to see the kite and prestart action is fun, but once on the wire you can't really see the skipper. Next try will be on an extension off the back of the boom looking forward (to get the skipper on trap) as well as top of mast facing down.
The spin pole facing aft kicks but, might try an extension off the front of the pole as well to get more in view upwind.
I'll post vids next week or so, once I edit it down to something entertaining. -P

Posts: 1 | Moshe_ta, You can find the ATC9k at any REI in the Los Angeles area. Here is a store locator: REI Store Locator (California) Or you can order it directly from Oregon Scientific and get 2 free 2GB Micro SD cards. Oregon Scientific ATC 9K With Free Memory Cards I personally own this camera and love it. The waterproof design, screen, g-force meter, and GPS functions are what really made up my mind. Hope this helps! | | | Re: Camera for sailing

Posts: 246 Kiel, Germany | There is a software update for the Hero HD which enables the camera to turn the vid/ photo upside down. By this, you can mount the camera under the spi-pole facing forward with unobstructed view. Haven't tried it yet, but I guess that videos from the starting line and ton-area might be pretty cool.
