filming on a seadoo question

[waterdork88]

I usually do a lot of filming on boats, but I filmed my friend wakeskating today on his seadoo... Though I had a good driver, I felt safer having one hand on the little loop on the seat and one hand on the camera. But one handing the camera seemed to make the footage a little shakier than normal.

How do I fix this? It seemed funny when I thought about it, but is there a way I could ghetto rig a seatbelt to the seadoo to keep me secured?

Ghetto rig a waterproof case. Big ziplock bag with a hole, or better yet buy a waterproof bag. They're not nearly as expensive as cases.

just clamp your legs on the seat real tight and you will be fine

man up

Go on youtube and check out how to make a Steady Cam.

thanks guys. I think the plastic bag would work for the turns when there is spray, (which I just use my body to cover the camera) but wouldn't do much if I fell in. I think I'm going to look into the steadicam for now so I can still hold on with one hand and eventually invest in a housing.

If manning up means risking a camera worth 100s of dollars... I think I'll pass

I made one of these a while back, and don't use it anymore:

I can send it to you if you want to pay shipping?

[waterdork88]

Thanks man Do you know how much it would cost to ship it to Orlando?
