Most popular and best we have used: http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/servlet/the-1125/PanFish-Camera-Mount-from/Detail
Also all sorts of other options form those guys that we have in store. Poles that you can move from above to below water easily and all.

Camera mono pod works for me. I put some foam pipe insulation on it so it's secure in my
rod holders.

You can get some good angles out of them.

If you have a bait tank behind your seat, you can try this.
(Sorry, this is the only photo I have showing my camera mount)
Cost about $8 to make. I like it because of the angle and you can take it out of the holder if you want to put it under water or film your buddy. You don't need the angle but it helped keep the rods from getting in the way of the frame. I used a slight 22deg coupler with 2x 3ft sections.

Here's mine.....pretty basic. I filled the pole with a sh*t load of that expandable foam, if it ever comes off at least it'll float.

Thanks for the help.
I have been playing around with different items and i think the PVC pole on is the cheapest to go with right now until i figure out where i want the camera.

Are you guys using 1 1/2" PVC for the Hobie tank rod holders?

Ummm, while I'm checking out your living room...did you ever get a building permit? Just saying...
I see Drake Pucks...the legend lives on! I always knew you liked them.
Why's our flag on the inside of your door and not proudly displayed on the outside?
Achievement Awards? For what? You buy those?

Whatever size it is, its a little small for the rod holder. So take 2- 1/2 screws and screw them in about 30 degrees apart from eachother. Then just back them out until it slides in but is tight enough. I just used some SS rounded philips screws.

Alternative would be to use some of the great stuff foam. Just put the pvc in and fill the gaps around. Definitely wont come out.

I'm Mexican, much like your employees we don't need permits.

Yeah, they work great at the landfill

The flag is covering the hole you left when your chainsaw mysteriously went through the door. By the way, the check you sent me to make the repairs bounced.

Awww come-on!!! Did you forget those awards.
Remember when you went without that 'Mexican Rash' for three months, how could you forget? That Z-pak must have worked and cured your itch.

By the way...............how are you doing with those lobster that you're supposed to supply for the Irvine Campout?
