How is this clew-view mount for duck-tacking? Seems like that could be more of a problem than in a duck jibe. Can it be flipped so that it's above the boom?
Thinking about getting an Hero camera and investigating mount options. Apparently, the handlebar mount from GoPro is flimsy and I end up crashing a fair amount.

I have a Contour 1080 for which I would consider a Clew View, but
the Contour has a standard screw in mount like a regular camera or
camcorder. I don't see that in the Clew View pictures. Can a Clew View
accommodate a Contour 1080?

2) The polypropylene arms of the Clew-View have a dampening effect reducing vibration.
3) The velcro straps allow you to easily and quickly switch from one sailors rig to another sailors rig on the beach without any tools.

I made a small, light, versatile, tucked-in clew mount from 1/4" Lexan sheet material. I cut two arcs, put a bolt through one end of each to create a set of scissoring "crab pincers", stuck the basic GoPro mount to it, and fasten the assembly to my clew with velcro, little 8" bungee cords, or tape. The camera hangs immediately beneath the clew fitting, centered and tucked up out of harm's way. Rock solid, dirt cheap, tiny, fits any boom, and captures every inch of rider and board plus the "road ahead" on both tacks.
Now, if its danged wide angle lens didn't make overhead swell look like little chop, the camera might get used.

I like using the GoPro boom mounts like you've seen here, and I also like to mix up the views with an epoxied (permanent) mount out on the nose. Be sure to use the floating camera back or make your own floating camera back when using this because I've broken it off with the mast and had to go back to the lake the next day with dive gear to retrieve it. (still had battery left after filming over 2 hours underwater). Here's a couple of stills I've taken with the nose mount. I also use the helmet mount for another pov. I should point out, it helps to put this on a 12' longboard.
