F16 in plenty of wind video

This was at the 2013 Rum race in South Aus, Emile Barrett in plenty of wind, beat home everyone. He made it look easy but we were smashed off the trap wire repetatively and got the 5.8 airborne a couple of times

Hmm, how long is the pole the camera is mounted on. Anybody who knows?
I assume this is a GoPro cam?

Sorry I don't know but here's a photo of Emile taken by my daughter in that Race, you can make out the extension on the spin pole

Looks like 100cm++

Thanks!
