Short video from the Kayak.
So over the last few months Ive been doing a lot mods to the kayak....Here recently I added the Kodak Play-sport Zx3 camcorder/camera complete with a fish eye lens...The fish eye lens allows a much more complete view of me and the yak...(Thank you Amazon!)
Ive attached it up front using the Yakattack Panfish Portrait mount.. Saturday morning I fished our first kayak bass club tourney and got to play with the camera....Mind you,Im running on 2.5 hours of sleep and brain dead after driving almost two hours (up at 2am) to check in,haha! It was a blast though!....Heres a short viddy of my 2nd fish...I tried to do commentary but man my head was foggy....This is me paddling back to a marker buoy I tossed out marking a steep drop off holding fish while heading into a shallow cove first to go after a school.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUVb5...ature=youtu.be Im pretty impressed with the setup and especially the audio!...Looking forward to making more/better ones! The camera can capture nice stills off the video as well!...Not too good in low light,but I expected that Once I get a better editing software Ill do a video overview of how I set up my kayak.... Thanks for looking!

That's pretty cool pancake. I think a little flea powder will help with that itchy beard.
Wow, I checked out the camera on ebay and it's not expensive at all. Where did you find the fisheye lens? I'm guessing that's an option and fits over the original lens? Neat idea, I may have to try that setup, if only I would catch a fish............. Last edited by bassboogieman; 08-13-12 at 11:18 PM. |

hahaha!, Bruce I knew someone would bring up the beard scratch...I noticed it right off the bat! Man I bought everything for the play sport off amazon! This is the lens: (only in red)...Its cheap!!..I got mine $7.00 http://www.amazon.com/BestDealUSA-iP...3+fisheye+lens The Kodak camera ZX3 is fairly zoomed in already...Without that lens you would be only seeing my chest,arms and head. Here's my tip!...The lens is magnetically attached to the camera...It comes with three adapter rings (This works on Iphones too and one ring is for that)...The rings attach to the camera lens with an adhesive back.....The adhesive is absolute garbage!!!! The weight of the lens pulls it right off!.....So I super glued that sucker right to the lens by using a toothpick,and a 3/4 bullet weight to hold pressure on it...Problem solved! The reason I went with the Zx3 vs the Zx5 is because the 3 has a replaceable battery as the 5 is only an internal battery...They only shoot about 2.5 worth of viddy....But being able to swap batteries with the 3 I can carry a spare (which I used this day)...Plus I read tons of reviews and the quality between the two is a toss up really. So on amazon I got: The camera =$80ish (also waterproof up to 10 meters if you noticed) The remote for it =$10 (however it will not turn on/off the camera.Only stop/start recording,etc..the camera will also shut off if let running inactively as well!) Spare battery = $18 (Im sure you can find it much cheaper) Car charger/wall charger = $3 Case = $9 Fish eye lens= $7-8 16gb card =$12 I think I paid $132 for everything....The yakattack mount was an additional $55 from Hook1 Still cheaper than a GoPro

That was in Decatur on the LBJ Grasslands...There were 5 lakes we could fish...All smaller and kayak friendly....That was Black Creek Reservoir I was on with about 5 other guys (27 guys total in the tourney)..Being a CPR set up you can do that,and any size/length bass counts!!...Even Bama dinks add up! I was the only one on that side of the lake....I tried to work it over but the ONLY boat on the lake came right at me...Full of drunken rednecks galore!...His boat dies next to my Kayak/buoy markers and I was getting real irritated listening to the ''main'' one cuss and yell like an idiot. Then he just jumps into the shallow water and starts casting his ugly stick all over the place hooting and hollering ''Oh I missed him''....Oh I missed that one too!''......I got so annoying I picked up and left He was seriously about 20 yards from me....I turned the camera off right before they came up on me...Kinda wish I got it on film Oh well,Its a monthly thing....This will be a good year for Texas kayak bass fishing!

That's a cool set up PC. Keep them coming!
Maybe you should have showed him the accuracy of a Nelson Custom and pierced his ear for him during his grand ole time.

Nice, but you don't want a fisheye lense, then everybody can identify the spots your fishing, and steal your honey holes
